SSH Host Key Fingerprints
0 vote
Newcomer to Remote Desktop Manager product, former SecureCRT user. I think it would be useful for RDM to have the ability to show SSH fingerprints for known_hosts along with their keys. I know that the known_host file is placed in the users AppData folder but having it built into the software to not only show the keys with their respective hosts but their fingerprints would be incredibly handy. This is a function that SecureCRT has had for a while and aids in retroactively verifying that the host you've connected to is who they say they are.

Hello,
Just so I understand better, you would like to view the known_hosts saved by RDM in a more readable format, is that right? If so, we could probably leverage the existing "SSH Key Manager" we have in RDM. Right now, it's used to manage the agent, as well as seeing the local key files on your computer. I think we could add a new tab to check the known_hosts file that RDM saves.
What do you think?

That would be fantastic. A dedicated tab for the known_host keys and their various fingerprints. The picture I attached is a snippet from SecureCRT and how they implement this.

Perfect, thank you for the example. I will open a ticket and add this information to it.
