SSH Public Key authentication?

Hi,

We get more and more Linux servers, which we have to monitor.
Our primary authentication method is public key authentication.

It would be great, if there would be a possibility to add public key authentication in the Connection manager.

Regards,

Martin

We need the public key authentication, too.

Can you provide it shortly?

thanks

Shortly? Not before v14.00 for sure.

We think it should be new tool, not Connection Manager.
Probably you should be able to set default key, and set hostname=keyname pairs for some specific servers.
Probably it should be able to show servers public keys as well.

It should be able to import public keys from different formats, right? PKCS1, PKCS8, OpenSSH.
Do you need some other formats?

Do you use the same key for all servers?
Many keys, one for each server?
