SSH keys are used for accessing a Linux/Unix asset without entering a password. SSH keys are more secure than traditional passwords. The private key is also encrypted with a password to hide its contents. You can add an SSH key authenticated account as follows.

Procedure:

  1. Click on the action button of the desired LINUX/UNIX asset → Manage Linked Accounts → Add New Account.
  2. In the Add Account form, set Authentication Type → Key Based (the key should be RSA encrypted).
  3. Fill in the details.
  4. Upload your private key in the Key field and enter your Passphrase in the respective section.
  5. Click on Save.
