SSH key
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.
General tab
SETTINGS
DESCRIPTION
Entry type

Private key
Depending on the entry type, this field can either accept a private key file or allow embedding the key directly.
