Re: [capistrano] dealing with multiple ssh keys and configuring ssh key in capfile

[Cassiano Leal]

You can use ssh-agent and have all your keys there, or you can still use .ssh/config, just list your keys in IdentityFile entries without tying them to specific hosts.

As a third option, you can use wildcards on hostnames in .ssh/config, so you can create an umbrella host for something like ec2*.aws.com (don't recall the hostname that amazon sets for those right now).

Specifying user@host is the least secure of all options, so I would avoid that.

Playing around with Capistrano. I couldn't find any specific documentation on situations with multiple keys.

Its good one is able to specify the username with the user@host syntax. But, i want to be able to do that for ssh keys too, at least at the cap file level.

using .ssh/config to maps keys to hosts is not an option because of the dynamic nature of the hosts ( ec2 machines ) involved.

Appreciate the help.
