SSH Accession

On the SSH Accession page of the Settings dialog you can operate the keys and certificates that are available on SSH Accession.

SSH Accession is a separate software product by SSH Communications Security that offers an easy method for utilizing digital certificates and smart cards. An evaluation version of the SSH Accession software is included in the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations distribution.

SSH Accession is a desktop authentication agent application for handling all private-key and sign-on operations for the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations user. With SSH Accession you do not have to provide the password for your private key each time when connecting to an SSH Secure Shell for Workstations server. Also, new connections from a remote server to another can be authenticated with the local private keys managed by SSH Accession (authentication forwarding).

In addition to the software keys, SSH Accession offers you a wide support for various secure hardware tokens such as smart cards and USB tokens. For more information, see the SSH Accession User Manual.
