SSH Keys Tab

SSH Keys Tab

The SSH Keys tab contains the following fields:
Host Key
The fingerprint of the server's public key, which will be used to authenticate the server. If a fingerprint is not specified, then the server will be treated as trusted.
Private Key Alias
The private key used to authenticate the server, which is located in the SSH Key Manager. If you do not know the alias name for the private key, click the icon to select the private key.
Private Key File
The location of the file containing the SSH private key. This key file will be used for client authentication, if required by the server. You can browse for the key file by clicking the button next to the field. The default location for SSH keys is [installdirectory]/userdata/keys/ssh where [installdirectory] is the installation directory of the
Managed File Transfer
product. Typically an SSH private key will have a file extension of ".pvk". A private key is only required if using SSH private key authentication or both password and SSH private key authentication.
SSH Keys can be managed in
Managed File Transfer
's SSH Key Manager page.
Private Key File Password
The password to use for accessing the Private Key File. After entering the password, you can optionally click the
Encrypt
button, which will encrypt the password when it is stored in
Managed File Transfer
's database. A private key password is only required if using SSH private key authentication or both password and SSH private key authentication.
If you do not wish to store the password with the server resource, this password can be supplied when executing a Project.
Is Password Encrypted
Indicates whether or not the password for the Private Key File is encrypted. You should choose the option of
Yes
if you clicked the
Encrypt
button for the Private Key Password.
