Hi,
I found that i can't use the ssl keys of type "Data".
Steps to reproduce:
I've tried setting "Private key Type" "Data" directly on the "SSH Shell" entry, but the result was the same.
I also found that ssl keys of type "Data" don't load on the Key Agent Manager, perhaps this is by design?
I'm using version 12.4.4
Thanks in advance,
Mário Gomes
Hello,
We have identified the issue with the "data" type and it will be fixed in the next version of RDM.
For the agent loading "data" keys, I think we might be able to do something. We'll add it to our todo list.

Hi,
Thanks for the swift reply.
Regarding the key agent I only mention it because it could be something that you already have but wasn't functioning.
Unless there is some advantage in using the key manager, I think there is no need to implement it because it's pretty easy to use the key from the repository.

There are two distinct advantages that could be useful in certain cases.
The first is that since our terminal is based on PuTTY, you can only use .ppk private key files. The key agent also supports .ppk files but it supports .pri files too. It is currently the only way to use .pri files with our terminal, but we want to improve it in the future so the terminal natively supports it.
The second is that it allows you to use keys stored in RDM in any other PuTTY-like terminal. Some clients prefer to use external SSH clients while still making use of the security storing data inside RDM provides.
