Permissions Manager Items for Security SSH Host Authentication

Use the Host Authentication section to manage the keys that authenticate the host to your client session. You can view the list of trusted hosts, add or delete host keys, and specify how you want InfoConnect to handle unknown hosts. These settings are available in the Host Authentication section of the Secure Shell Settings dialog box.

Delete trusted host key button Deletes a host key from the Trusted Host Keys list.
Enforce strict host key checking Specifies how InfoConnect should handle host key checking when connecting to an unknown host.
Import trusted host key button Imports a host key.
Prefer SSH keys over certificates Specifies the order of preference for host key algorithms. When this setting is unselected (the default), InfoConnect requests host certificates before host keys. When this setting is selected, InfoConnect requests host keys before host certificates.
