sshd and AcceptEnv setting

Hello,
On Linux the /etc/ssh/sshd_config has the "AcceptEnv" parameter which allows to "push" environment setting to a ssh session. For example, when I set in sshd_conf
Code:
AcceptEnv BLAH

I can then ssh to the server using:

Code:
user@client~$ export BLAH=hello
user@client~$ ssh server -o SendEnv=BLA

H

and the result is
Code:
user@server~$ echo $BLAH
hello

My question is how can I do this on Solaris. The sshd_config does not accept this parameter.

I found out that on Solaris there is the "PermitUserEnvironment yes" setting which allows to export variables that are on the server in the ~/.ssh/environment file.

This does not solve my problem because I want the client to be able to set the env variable before the connection.

Thanks,

R.F.

SSH-LDAP-HELPER(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					SSH-LDAP-HELPER(8)

NAME
ssh-ldap-helper -- sshd helper program for ldap support SYNOPSIS
ssh-ldap-helper [-devw] [-f file] [-s user] DESCRIPTION
ssh-ldap-helper is used by sshd(1) to access keys provided by an LDAP. ssh-ldap-helper is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the sshd configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config by setting AuthorizedKeysCommand to ``/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-ldap-wrapper''. ssh-ldap-helper is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from sshd(8) via ssh-ldap-wrapper. The options are as follows: -d Set the debug mode; ssh-ldap-helper prints all logs to stderr instead of syslog. -e Implies -w; ssh-ldap-helper halts if it encounters an unknown item in the ldap.conf file. -f ssh-ldap-helper uses this file as the ldap configuration file instead of /etc/ssh/ldap.conf (default). -s ssh-ldap-helper prints out the user's keys to stdout and exits. -v Implies -d; increases verbosity. -w ssh-ldap-helper writes warnings about unknown items in the ldap.conf configuration file. SEE ALSO
sshd(8), sshd_config(5), ssh-ldap.conf(5), HISTORY
ssh-ldap-helper first appeared in OpenSSH 5.5 + PKA-LDAP . AUTHORS
