Key Benefits

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.

Points to Consider

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.
