Overwrite of ssh private key with user specific

Ah, debugging further:
The username is now alg (my local windows username) instead of the one in the entry. I can't set a username in the private credentials at all. I think for ssh if I use my private key, the username of the session entry should optionally be used. Basically I fear I might need to override username serperately.

Hi,
My personal credentials is only for ONE default entry. You can't combine a password and key. Use the Personal Vault for and the user specific setting instead.

I know that - and I think this limitation needs to be remove some time - but I'm trying only with key. However the key needs a username (which can't be my windows login!) otherwise it is pointless.
Personal Valut is stored in the DB and that is exactly what we don't want to do.

Hi,
I think that we could work around your issue by adding a username and password to the key. This could be used as your default credentials.

Hi David,

this is not how ssh works. the username (also) depends on the host I'm connecting to.
So I think it needs to be like this:
Session has a username set
Option a.) User select override credentials and uses his private key, but the username from the session is kept. This will be the default way to act for root logins for example.
Option b.) ser select override credentials and uses his private key plus a username that is configurable per session,i.e. not from personal credentials but a local/private property of the session. This will be the default way to act for user level (non root) logins.

Hum,
Now I understand but I can't find an easy way to implement this. I think the simplest way will be to keep the personal credentials that we have but add a personal private key.

I think the issue Alexander is describing is also my issue (see http://forum.devolutions.net/topic14034-ssh-private-key-using-private-vault.aspx) you already responded to (stating it will be implemented eventually).

In that thread I have added a reply just now as the lack of this is becoming an urgent issue at our side.
