SSH like a professional

Manage SSH and sudo access easily in the cloud or on-premise.

Professionals know you need to SSH - but almost everyone does it wrong. With Smallstep SSH Professional, you use certificates to do SSH right. Remove the need to gather, ship, and rotate SSH public keys for all your users and hosts.

Smallstep delivers end-to-end SSH workflow that marries modern identity providers with short-lived SSH certificates and flexible access control. At the core is step-ca, our open-source certificate authority, and our step CLI toolkit that makes SSO for SSH a simple and elegant experience for users. Available on-premise or as a managed offering.

Single Sign-On SSH

Users type ssh [host-name] and are sent through your identity provider before connecting to the host.

Sync With Your IdP

Identity provider user groups are automatically synchronized and used for SSH access control and compliance reporting.

Access Control

Map host access to users and groups from your identity provider. Revoking a user at the identity provider removes their SSH access immediately.

SSH User Lifecycle Management

No more adding and removing POSIX users or synchronizing and auditing static public key files across your fleet of hosts.

Compliance Included

Reporting and logging of user sessions, access to hosts, and privilege escalations simplify compliance audits.

Smallstep bridges the gap between your identity provider and your servers
