            Bug ID: 3854
           Summary: Add option "destination-address=address_list" to
                    ssh-keygen

          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

Hi,

When creating a certificate with the command ssh-keygen, we see that we
can pass the "-O" options that will be integrated within the certicate.

I’d like to have a new options which could be called
destination-address

destination-address=address_list
    Restrict the destination addresses to which the certificate is
considered valid. The address_list is a comma-separated list of one or
more address/netmask pairs in CIDR format.


Since now, we wouldn’t have the need of such options, as these options
were used in authorized_keys as as the authorized_keys was de facto
installed on a specific machine.

That way, when creating a certificat I could restrict to which server
the ssh-key can connect.

Regards,
cED
