So my understanding of your question is that you want to have passwordless ssh command only work if its invoked by a particular script?

Really, the only reasonable way I can think to do that is:
1) push the passwordless ability to some other user
2) have that script be invoked via a sudo to that user and only that script.

That would get you to the point where you would do something like:

Code:
sudo -iu newUser /path/to/script.ksh

Ultimately, it's about removing the shared account's ability to directly use the public/private key associated with the remote login. Whether that involves pushing the passwordless functionality to a different user and just control who can run the script as the newer user (as described above) or leaving it in place and having people use a different shared account, that's what needs to happen.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
