The PUT /SSH 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 method is used to update an existing SSH server in Keyfactor Command. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details for the SSH server.

Tip: The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

/ssh/server_admin/

/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.

When using this method, you should first do a GET to retrieve all the values for the record you want to update, enter corrected data into the field(s) you want to update, and then submit all the fields using PUT, including the fields that contain values but which you are not changing.

Tip: See the Keyfactor API Reference and Utility which provides a utility through which the Keyfactor API

An API is a set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command. endpoints can be called and results returned. It is intended to be used primarily for validation, testing and workflow

A workflow is a series of steps necessary to complete a process. In Keyfactor Command, it refers to the workflow builder, which allows you to automate event-driven tasks such as when a certificate is requested, revoked or found in a certificate store. development. It also serves secondarily as documentation for the API. The link to the Keyfactor API Reference and Utility is in the dropdown from the help icon (
