POST SSH Servers Access

The POST /SSHClosed The SSH (secure shell) protocol provides for secure connections between computers. It provides several options for authentication, including public key, and protects the communications with strong encryption./Servers/Access method is used to create a mapping of one or more Linux logons to Keyfactor Command users or service accounts for one or more SSH servers. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details of the logons and associated users, if applicable, for the specified SSH server(s).

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:
/ssh/server_admin/
OR
/ssh/enterprise_admin/

SSH actions are affected by ownership on the server group to which the server belongs and limited for users with only the Server Admin (/ssh/server_admin/) role. For more information, see SSH Permissions.

Tip:  Before creating a logon to user mapping, be sure that you have switched the server to which you will add your mapping (or its server group) to inventory and publish policy mode so that the key for the user will be published to the server. If the server is in inventory only mode and you add a mapping for it in Keyfactor Command, the mapping will appear in Keyfactor Command only and the key for the user will not be published out to the server.
