Activating an SSH private key in Appcircle's CI/CD pipelines enables secure authentication for accessing private repositories and servers, providing an alternative way to access the repositories with a secure workflow.
Secure Access: Provides a secure method for accessing private repositories and servers without exposing passwords.
Streamlined Workflow: Simplifies the CI/CD process by automating authentication, allowing for seamless integration and deployment.
Enhanced Security: Utilizes SSH key-based authentication to ensure that access is restricted to authorized users and systems.
Easy Configuration: Offers a straightforward setup process within the Appcircle platform, making it easy to implement SSH key authentication.

Key Management: Safely store and manage your SSH private keys to prevent unauthorized access to your resources.
Key Rotation: Regularly rotate your SSH keys to maintain security and mitigate potential risks.
Access Permissions: Ensure that the SSH key has the appropriate permissions for the required operations, such as repository access or server commands.
Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues with SSH key activation, verify the key format, permissions, and authentication settings in your Appcircle configuration.
Build Profile Capabilities: Compared to direct access to repository providers, SSH key access may limit certain build profile actions.
