Restrict SSH keys from VMs | Compute Engine Documentation

Linux Windows

This document describes how to prevent users from accessing virtual machine (VM) instances by removing and blocking SSH keys from VMs.

• If you haven't already, then set up authentication. Authentication is the process by which your identity is verified for access to Google Cloud services and APIs. To run code or samples from a local development environment, you can authenticate to Compute Engine by selecting one of the following options:

  Select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page:

  Console

  When you use the Google Cloud console to access Google Cloud services and APIs, you don't need to set up authentication.

  gcloud

  1. Install the Google Cloud CLI. After installation, initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:

     gcloud init

     If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.

     Note: If you installed the gcloud CLI previously, make sure you have the latest version by running gcloud components update.
  2. Set a default region and zone.
  REST

  To use the REST API samples on this page in a local development environment, you use the credentials you provide to the gcloud CLI.

  Install the Google Cloud CLI. After installation, initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:

  gcloud init

  If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.

  For more information, see Authenticate for using REST in the Google Cloud authentication documentation.

You can remove SSH keys from

and

VMs that use OS Login accept SSH keys that are associated with your Google account. You can remove a public SSH key from your user account using the Google Cloud CLI or the OS Login API. If you're an administrator for your organization, you can remove SSH keys from user accounts using the Directory API. Compute Engine automatically removes expired keys from your Google Account.

To remove a public SSH key from your account, do the following:

1. If you don't know which key you want to remove, run the gcloud compute os-login describe-profile command to view all keys associated with your account:

   gcloud compute os-login describe-profile
   

2. Copy the fingerprint value of the key you want to delete.

3. Remove the key from your account using the gcloud compute os-login ssh-keys remove command:

   gcloud compute os-login ssh-keys remove --key=KEY
   

   Replace KEY with the public SSH key you want to remove, or the OS Login fingerprint for the key you want to remove.

To remove a public SSH key from your account, do the following:

1. If you don't know which key you want to remove, use the users.getLoginProfile method to view all keys associated with your account:

   GET https://oslogin.googleapis.com/v1/users/ACCOUNT_EMAIL/loginProfile
   

   Replace ACCOUNT_EMAIL with the email address associated with your account.

2. Copy the fingerprint value of the key you want to delete.

3. Remove the key from your account using the users.sshPublicKeys.delete method:

   DELETE https://oslogin.googleapis.com/v1/users/ACCOUNT_EMAIL/sshPublicKeys/FINGERPRINT
   

   Replace the following:

   • ACCOUNT_EMAIL: the email address associated with your account
   • FINGERPRINT: the SHA-256 fingerprint of the key to remove

You can remove a public SSH key from project or instance metadata using the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI, or the Compute Engine API.

After you remove the last key from metadata for a particular user, or the last key in metadata for a particular user expires, Compute Engine deletes the user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the VM.

Caution: If you manage SSH keys in metadata, you might disrupt the ability of your project members to connect to VMs. Additionally, you risk granting users, including users outside of your project, unintended access to VMs. For more information, see

.

Remove a public SSH key from project metadata to remove access to all VMs in a project.

When you remove a key from metadata using the gcloud CLI and the Compute Engine API, you must retrieve the list of existing keys, edit the list of keys to remove the unwanted keys, and overwrite the old keys with the list of keys you want to keep, as explained in the following section.

To perform this task, you must have the following permissions:

• compute.projects.setCommonInstanceMetadata

You can prevent VMs from accepting SSH keys that are stored in project metadata by blocking project SSH keys from VMs. You can block project SSH keys from VMs when you create a VM or after you create a VM.

You can block project SSH keys from VMs during VM creation, using the Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, or Compute Engine API.

To create an instance and block it from accepting SSH keys stored in project metadata using the Google Cloud console, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Create an instance page.

   Go to Create an instance

2. To block project SSH keys, do the following:

   1. In the navigation menu, click Security.

   2. Expand the Manage access section.

   3. To disable OS Login, clear the Control VM access through IAM permissions checkbox.

   4. Select the Block project-wide SSH keys checkbox.

3. Optional: Specify other configuration options. For more information, see Configuration options during instance creation.

4. To create and start the instance, click Create.

To create a VM and block it from accepting SSH keys stored in project metadata using the gcloud CLI, use the gcloud compute instances create command:

gcloud compute instances create VM_NAME \
    --metadata block-project-ssh-keys=TRUE

Replace VM_NAME with the name of the new VM.

To create a VM and block it from accepting SSH keys stored in project metadata using the Compute Engine, construct a POST request to the instances.insert method:

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instances

Replace the following:

• PROJECT_ID: the project ID
• ZONE: the zone of the VM

In the body of the request, provide usernames and public SSH keys in the items property:

...
{
 "items": [
    {
     "key": "block-project-ssh-keys",
     "value": TRUE
    }
   ]
}
...

You can block project SSH keys from VMs after VM creation using the Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, or Compute Engine API.

To perform this task, you must have the following permissions:

• compute.projects.setCommonInstanceMetadata

To block VMs from accepting connections from SSH keys stored in project metadata using the Google Cloud console, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the VM instances page.

   Go to VM instances

2. Click the name of the VM that you want to block project SSH keys for.

3. Click Edit.

4. Under SSH Keys, select the Block project-wide SSH keys checkbox.

5. When you have finished editing the connection setting for SSH keys, click Save.

To block VMs from accepting connections from SSH keys stored in project metadata using the gcloud CLI, do the following:

Run the gcloud compute instances add-metadata command:

gcloud compute instances add-metadata VM_NAME --metadata block-project-ssh-keys=TRUE

Replace VM_NAME with the name of the VM for which you want to block project-wide public SSH keys.

To block VMs from accepting connections from SSH keys stored in project metadata using the Compute Engine API, do the following:

1. Use the instances.get method to get the fingerprint from metadata.

   GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instances/VM_NAME
   

   Replace the following:

   • PROJECT_ID: your project ID
   • ZONE: the zone of the VM you're adding an SSH key for
   • VM_NAME: the VM you're adding an SSH key for

   The response is similar to the following:

   ...
   "fingerprint": "utgYE_XWtE8="
   ...
   

2. Use the instances.setMetadata method to set block-project-ssh-keys to TRUE:

   POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instances/VM_NAME/setMetadata
   
   {
   "items": [
    {
     "key": "block-project-ssh-keys",
     "value": TRUE
    }
   ]
   "fingerprint": "FINGERPRINT"
   }
   

   Replace the following:

   • PROJECT_ID is your project ID
   • ZONE is the zone where your instance is located
   • INSTANCE_NAME is the instance where you want to block project-wide keys.
   • FINGERPRINT: the value of the fingerprint from the response of the instances.get request.

• Learn about the benefits of using OS Login for access management.
• Connect to VMs using Google tools, so you don't have to manage your own SSH keys.
