Write an SSH Client Config

easy 10 XP ~5 minHands-on lab

You connect to the primary database server many times a day with a long command. Save it as an alias for the student account.

Task

Configure ssh so that ssh primary (run as student) connects with these settings:

  • host name primary.db.internal
  • user ivan
  • port 2299
  • the private key /home/student/.ssh/primary_ed25519
  • through the jump host bastion.internal
  • only that key is offered (no other keys from the agent or defaults)
