[PROTOCOL.mux clientloop.c clientloop.h mux.c]
improve our behaviour when TTY allocation fails: if we are in
RequestTTY=auto mode (the default), then do not treat at TTY
allocation error as fatal but rather just restore the local TTY
to cooked mode and continue. This is more graceful on devices that
never allocate TTYs.
If RequestTTY is set to "yes" or "force", then failure to allocate
a TTY is fatal.

This document describes the multiplexing protocol used by ssh(1)'s
|
|
ControlMaster connection-sharing.
|
|
|
|
Most messages from the client to the server contain a "request id" field.
|
|
This field is returned in replies as "client request id" to facilitate
|
|
matching of responses to requests.
|
|
|
|
1. Connection setup
|
|
|
|
When a multiplexing connection is made to a ssh(1) operating as a
|
|
ControlMaster from a ssh(1) in multiplex slave mode, the first
|
|
action of each is to exchange hello messages:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_MSG_HELLO
|
|
uint32 protocol version
|
|
string extension name [optional]
|
|
string extension value [optional]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The current version of the mux protocol is 4. A slave should refuse
|
|
to connect to a master that speaks an unsupported protocol version.
|
|
Following the version identifier are zero or more extensions
|
|
represented as a name/value pair. No extensions are currently
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
2. Opening sessions
|
|
|
|
To open a new multiplexed session, a client may send the following
|
|
request:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_NEW_SESSION
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
string reserved
|
|
bool want tty flag
|
|
bool want X11 forwarding flag
|
|
bool want agent flag
|
|
bool subsystem flag
|
|
uint32 escape char
|
|
string terminal type
|
|
string command
|
|
string environment string 0 [optional]
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
To disable the use of an escape character, "escape char" may be set
|
|
to 0xffffffff. "terminal type" is generally set to the value of
|
|
$TERM. zero or more environment strings may follow the command.
|
|
|
|
The client then sends its standard input, output and error file
|
|
descriptors (in that order) using Unix domain socket control messages.
|
|
|
|
The contents of "reserved" are currently ignored.
|
|
|
|
If successful, the server will reply with MUX_S_SESSION_OPENED
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_SESSION_OPENED
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
uint32 session id
|
|
|
|
Otherwise it will reply with an error: MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED or
|
|
MUX_S_FAILURE.
|
|
|
|
Once the server has received the fds, it will respond with MUX_S_OK
|
|
indicating that the session is up. The client now waits for the
|
|
session to end. When it does, the server will send an exit status
|
|
message:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_EXIT_MESSAGE
|
|
uint32 session id
|
|
uint32 exit value
|
|
|
|
The client should exit with this value to mimic the behaviour of a
|
|
non-multiplexed ssh(1) connection. Two additional cases that the
|
|
client must cope with are it receiving a signal itself and the
|
|
server disconnecting without sending an exit message.
|
|
|
|
A master may also send a MUX_S_TTY_ALLOC_FAIL before MUX_S_EXIT_MESSAGE
|
|
if remote TTY allocation was unsuccessful. The client may use this to
|
|
return its local tty to "cooked" mode.
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_TTY_ALLOC_FAIL
|
|
uint32 session id
|
|
|
|
3. Health checks
|
|
|
|
The client may request a health check/PID report from a server:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_ALIVE_CHECK
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
|
|
The server replies with:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_ALIVE
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
uint32 server pid
|
|
|
|
4. Remotely terminating a master
|
|
|
|
A client may request that a master terminate immediately:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_TERMINATE
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
|
|
The server will reply with one of MUX_S_OK or MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED.
|
|
|
|
5. Requesting establishment of port forwards
|
|
|
|
A client may request the master to establish a port forward:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_OPEN_FWD
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
uint32 forwarding type
|
|
string listen host
|
|
string listen port
|
|
string connect host
|
|
string connect port
|
|
|
|
forwarding type may be MUX_FWD_LOCAL, MUX_FWD_REMOTE, MUX_FWD_DYNAMIC.
|
|
|
|
A server may reply with a MUX_S_OK, a MUX_S_REMOTE_PORT, a
|
|
MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED or a MUX_S_FAILURE.
|
|
|
|
For dynamically allocated listen port the server replies with
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_REMOTE_PORT
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
uint32 allocated remote listen port
|
|
|
|
6. Requesting closure of port forwards
|
|
|
|
Note: currently unimplemented (server will always reply with MUX_S_FAILURE).
|
|
|
|
A client may request the master to close a port forward:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_CLOSE_FWD
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
string listen host
|
|
string listen port
|
|
string connect host
|
|
string connect port
|
|
|
|
A server may reply with a MUX_S_OK, a MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED or a
|
|
MUX_S_FAILURE.
|
|
|
|
7. Requesting stdio forwarding
|
|
|
|
A client may request the master to establish a stdio forwarding:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_NEW_STDIO_FWD
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
string reserved
|
|
string connect host
|
|
string connect port
|
|
|
|
The client then sends its standard input and output file descriptors
|
|
(in that order) using Unix domain socket control messages.
|
|
|
|
The contents of "reserved" are currently ignored.
|
|
|
|
A server may reply with a MUX_S_SESSION_OPENED, a MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED
|
|
or a MUX_S_FAILURE.
|
|
|
|
8. Requesting shutdown of mux listener
|
|
|
|
A client may request the master to stop accepting new multiplexing requests
|
|
and remove its listener socket.
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_C_STOP_LISTENING
|
|
uint32 request id
|
|
|
|
A server may reply with a MUX_S_OK, a MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED or a
|
|
MUX_S_FAILURE.
|
|
|
|
9. Status messages
|
|
|
|
The MUX_S_OK message is empty:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_OK
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
|
|
The MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED and MUX_S_FAILURE include a reason:
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_PERMISSION_DENIED
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
string reason
|
|
|
|
uint32 MUX_S_FAILURE
|
|
uint32 client request id
|
|
string reason
|
|
|
|
