Connected SSH services

Connected SSH Services consist of services used for the implementation of software applications. These services are typically providing functions, data or host access via APIs over the SSH network protocol. To enable users to connect to SSH services, you must either set up the SSH service as a project resource or users must configure a personal SSH identity in their profile settings.

Tip

The nature and protocol of services that can be attached to workspaces depend on your platform’s implementation.

As with other resource types, SSH services are attached to workspaces when the workspace is created or when its settings are updated. For the attach step and the alternative option, see Enable outbound SSH.

Connected SSH services are defined by the following characteristics:

  • Basic information: name and scope of use (platform, organization, or project).
  • Class Level: defines the visibility of the service, based on the user’s permissions.
  • Attach Asset Information: allows you to provide a description of the service.
  • Hostname or IP Address: the address of the SSH host.
  • Authentication Method: the mechanism used to authenticate with the service.

Add an SSH Service

Requires the Resources permission set to Manage.

Select Create Service, then enter:

  1. Service Name, a name to identify the host. It must not contain spaces or capital letters.
  2. Username, the username used to access the host.
  3. Hostname or IP Address, which points to the host location.
  4. Port, the port the SSH service listens on.

  5. Authentication method, an authentication method to access the service, and choose one of the methods:

    • “Generated”: A pair of keys will be generating when adding the SSH service
    • “Upload Private Key”: Upload the private key that will be used to authenticate you to the ssh service
    • “Password”: Insert the password associated to your ssh username previously entered
  6. Asset Information, a description of the service.
