Setting up yubikey/solo2 for piv, fido, and gpg on FreeBSD (Firefox, Chromium, PAM, SSH, and GnuPG)

Overview

How to configure FreeBSD and applicable applications to work with Yubikey for authentication. This serves as my work-in-progress documentation of the configuration knobs needed to make this work properly.

  • FreeBSD ssh with piv smartcard slot on Yubikey (pkcs11 via libykcs11.so)
  • FreeBSD ssh with fido support on Yubikey
  • FreeBSD Firefox/Chromium with fido + webauthn support on Yubikey
  • FreeBSD local console and gdm authentication using pam on Yubikey
  • FreeBSD official YubiKey tools

Latest Tested FreeBSD versions

  • FreeBSD 13.2 Testing (Aug 2023)
  • FreeBSD stable/13 Testing (Aug 2023) with OpenSSH_9.3p2

Technical guide for using YubiKey series 4 for GPG and SSH

YubiKey 4 series GPG and SSH setup guide

Written for fairly adept technical users, preferably of Debian GNU/Linux, not for absolute beginners.

You'll probably be working with a single smartcard, so you'll want only one primary key (1. Sign & Certify) and two associated subkeys (2. Encrypt, 3. Authenticate). I've published a Bash function which automates this slightly special key generation process.

Global gitignore

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

  • Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
  • Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.
