# Mapping usernames with ForceCommand

Mapping usernames enables PingID SSH for users with specific public keys.

## Steps

* Use the command option in the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file.

  ### Example:

  ```
  command="/usr/sbin/pingid_fc -u john" ssh-rsa AAA..../KO== john@luni.com
  command="/usr/sbin/pingid_fc -u david" ssh-rsa BAB...JIL== david@luni.com
  ```

  | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
