No Private Key Tab for Putty type SSH connection

Trying to set up Key auth for some linux servers we currently use password auth for. Added Private key to repository and set credential to private key. There are two issues, the first is that in either option you cannot set a user name if you are using Private Key authentication which makes no sense. The second issue is that you cannot set a private key for Putty and setting it as the credential type has no effect.

Hi,
The problem is that Putty does not support the private key repository. The reason why you can't enter a username is because RDM expect it in the credential entry which in your case is a private key. You could try to use the native SSH shell and in the Private key tab page, select Repository for the private key type. You will be able to select it from the list
