SSH

Using Keeper Commander with SSH connections

For a full remote connection management tool that supports privileged sessions, session recording and other advanced capabilities over zero-trust cloud connections, we recommend using our KeeperPAM platform.

This SSH capability described in Commander uses direct line-of-sight SSH connections.

SSH

Keeper Commander can launch SSH connections utilizing content and metadata stored in a Keeper Vault record. The ssh command is used to make SSH connections. To use this command, pass it a record that holds the SSH connection details.

ssh command

Command: ssh

Detail: Establishes connection to external server using SSH.

Parameters:

record UID, path to a record or hostname

The SSH command is compatible with "SSH Key" and "Server" type records and prompts for confirmation before launching and before loading any SSH key from the record into your local ssh-agent.

optionally a SSH endpoint in the following format:

LOGIN@HOST[:PORT]

If no record is provided to the ssh command, all the compatible records in your vault will be listed

Examples

Make a connection by UID, by title or by hostname

ssh qTUzddtffRvsS1L8_ytO1A
ssh "SSH Connection"
ssh 10.0.160.7
