SSH Private Key - Supported Formats
Hi guys,
If I use the key generator the following key formats are supported:
OpenSSH Putty PKCS1 PKCS8
If I want to save the generated private key, the following file types are supported:
PKCS#1 / OpenSSH (.key) PKCS#8 (.pri) Putty (.ppk)
After adding e.g. a key with format Putty but file type .key - I can see that key in the key management.
» is mixing format and file type supported? (Putty.key // OpenSSH.ppk)
Question: If I want to add my private key to my personal credentials, the only "supported" file types are:
.pri .ppk
Is there a reason why .key is missing?
- I have to select "All files" to select my "private.key"
Would you recommend a combination for a private key to use with ssh in RDM?
RDM on Windows 2023.2.33.0 64-bit
Thank you!
Best regards,
Tobi

Hello,
When saving your Putty key, you can select what file type you want to use:
I would recommend using the PuTTY Private Key (*.ppk) file type if you selected Putty as the key format:
Then you should be able to import that file into your personal credentials.

Hello,
In addition to what my colleague mentionned, we will also add the ".key" file extension to that file selection dialog. I consulted our terminal expert and there's no reason not to have this choice as it should be supported.
