# x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer(8)

Retrieve public SSH keys from an X2Go Session Broker

## NAME

x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer - Retrieve public SSH keys from an X2Go Session Broker

## SYNOPSIS

**x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer**  \[ *options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer** retrieves the X2Go Session Broker's public SSH key(s) and adds it to *~x2gobroker/.ssh/authorized\_keys*.

This command has to be executed once on each X2Go Server that is to become a member of a muli-node X2Go server farm. The execution of this command requires root-privileges.

## COMMON OPTIONS

**x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer** accepts the following common options:

- FC**-h, --help**F\[0\]

  Display a help with all available command line options and exit.

- FC**-b \<BROKER\_URL\>, --broker-url \<BROKER\_URL\>**F\[0\]

  The URL of the X2Go Session Broker that we want to retrieve public keys from. The common pattern for this URL is *http(s)://\<broker\_hostname\>:\<port\>/pubkeys/*, but may differ depending on your X2Go Session Broker setup.

## FILES

\~x2gobroker/.ssh/authorized\_keys
