Talk to the client, and ask them what they would prefer:
  • Get a public key from you, and implement it so that you can authenticate yourself with it
  • Have the password for their service passed from an expect script where it's possibly easy for everyone to read

ssh2_publickey_add - Add an authorized publickey

SYNOPSIS
bool ssh2_publickey_add (resource $pkey, string $algoname, string $blob, [bool $overwrite = false], [array $attributes]) DESCRIPTION
Note The public key subsystem is used for managing public keys on a server to which the client is already authenticated. To authenticate to a remote system using public key authentication, use the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file(3) function instead. PARAMETERS
o $pkey - Publickey Subsystem resource created by ssh2_publickey_init(3). o $algoname - Publickey algorithm (e.g.): ssh-dss, ssh-rsa o $blob - Publickey blob as raw binary data o $overwrite - If the specified key already exists, should it be overwritten? o $attributes - Associative array of attributes to assign to this public key. Refer to ietf-secsh-publickey-subsystem for a list of supported attributes. To mark an attribute as mandatory, precede its name with an asterisk. If the server is unable to support an attribute marked mandatory, it will abort the add process. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Adding a publickey with ssh2_publickey_add(3) <?php $ssh2 = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22); ssh2_auth_password($ssh2, 'jdoe', 'password'); $pkey = ssh2_publickey_init($ssh2); $keyblob = base64_decode(' AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEA5HVt6VqSGd5PTrLRdjNONxXH1tVFGn0 Bd26BF0aCP9qyJRlvdJ3j4WBeX4ZmrveGrjMgkseSYc4xZ26sDHwfL351xj zaLpipuBGRrw17mWVBhuCExo476ri5tQFzbTc54VEHYckxQ16CjSTibI5X 69GmnYC9PNqEYq/1TP+HF10='); ssh2_publickey_add($pkey, 'ssh-rsa', $keyblob, false, array('comment'=>"John's Key")); ?> SEE ALSO
