VaultOne: Create SSH Connections Using Authentication Keys

Using an authentication key for SSH connections provides a more secure alternative to using passwords. This guide explains how to set up a server in VaultOne to use an authentication key for remote connections.

Registering the Server

3. Click + Add Computer.
4. Enter all the required information for the device, such as its name, IP address, and other details.

Adding a Credential with an Authentication Key

After registering the server, you can add a credential to it which will configure the authentication key.

2. The Add Credential window appears. Under Credential Type, select Key.
3. In the Private Key field that appears, enter only the private key.
4. Click Add to save the credential.
