|
|
SSH Certificate Authority and certificate lifecycle manager for the ops fleet.
|
|
|
|
|
Signs short-lived certs for `adm` / `agt` / `atm` actors and exposes the
|
|
|
|
|
`cert_command` interface consumed by `ops-bridge` and other tooling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See `SCOPE.md` for boundaries and `wiki/AccessManagementDirective.md` for policy.

## Quick start (local backend)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# One-time: generate a CA key (keep mode 600, never commit)
|
|
|
|
|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/ops-ca-user -C "Ops SSH User CA" -N ""
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Configure warden (~/.config/warden/warden.yaml) — see wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md
|
|
|
|
|
warden inventory add agt-example --type agt --principal agt-example
|
|
|
|
|
warden sign agt-example --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
|
|
|
|
|
warden status agt-example
|
|
|
|
|
warden scorecard
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

Production uses the `vault` backend against OpenBao or HashiCorp Vault (Vault-compatible
|
|
|
|
|
SSH secrets engine API). See `wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md`.
