Smart Card for Linux

Published 3 years ago

Greetings! Just discovered this neat product! My main desktop is a RedHat variant, and I'm wondering if I just need to RTFM some more, or if I've simply missed how use smart cards for SSH and RDP connections - or, is that possible in Linux?

On a side note - is there a way to attach to an existing ssh-agent?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

First of all, welcome!

We don't support the use of smart cards for SSH, I'll create a ticket to implement it, but we do for RDP, have a look here. This page is for macOS but should be the same for Linux.

As for the ssh agent, you can edit your SSH connection and go to "SSH Shell -> Advanced" then select "Use SSH authentication agent". Then start the agent by going here:

Now it should be able to connect.

I hope this helps and thank you for using our product. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!

Best regards,
