If user accounts for 'alice' and 'bob' exist on those same machines, 'alice' and 'bob' will be able to log in as only 'alice' and 'bob' respectively (ie, a certificate with 'alice' can be used to authenticate as the alice user and a certificate with 'bob' can be used to authenticate as the 'bob' user). the posix user accounts don't need to exist on a given machine to use the AuthorizedPrincipalsFile/AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand for logging in as a shared user. If you're saying that you don't want 'alice' or 'bob' to be able to log into the webserver machines as alice or bob, then don't create those accounts, but they can still use their certificates with the AuthorizedPrincipalsFile to get access to www _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
