The SSH key entry in Remote Desktop Manager allows users to securely manage SSH keys used for authentication in remote sessions. SSH key entries can be configured in one of three ways:
| OPTIONS | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Generate new SSH key | Allow the creation of a new SSH key pair directly within Remote Desktop Manager. Parameters such as the key type, size, fingerprint, and passphrase for security can be specified. |
| Import SSH key | Enable the import of an existing SSH key into Remote Desktop Manager. If a key pair has already been generated outside of Remote Desktop Manager, this option adds it to the credentials list. |
| Link local SSH key | Allow the linking of an SSH key stored locally on the machine without importing it directly into Remote Desktop Manager. |
