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.

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
