Credential types
Store an SSH key
Use SSH key when the record needs host, user, port and private key.
Create the record
- Open the intended folder and choose + New credential.
- Choose SSH key from Credential type.
- Enter a recognizable name. Enter the connection target, then upload or paste a supported private key. Check the parsed fingerprint and algorithm before continuing. Use Replace key if you selected the wrong file.
- Review the storage location, description and tags. Do not place secrets in those metadata fields.
- Select Store credential. An intermediate Use action only accepts that field; it does not save the record.
- Open the saved record and check the name, type and available connection summary.
Validation messages stay with the form so you can correct the input. Switching types changes which fields are required. Recheck the selected type and location before submitting.
Retrieve or maintain it
Copy private key returns the primary value through the audited lease flow. For a complete structured record, use the TypeScript client or CLI. Use the supported unencrypted input format expected by the intake. Vault encrypts it at rest. Saving a key does not install its public key on the remote host or test an SSH connection.
Use the record’s Access tab for sharing, Activity for audit and leases, and Manage for rotation or archiving. A replacement requires the full typed record; existing secrets are not prefilled.
