SSH Key Configurations for Azure Devices

If the devices imported from Azure have the required configuration to log in via SSH key, Kron PAM can provide a seamless connection using the SSH key. Otherwise, the global username and password need to be defined for each device group.

To use an SSH key for Azure devices:

Get the SSH key name stored in the device properties of each device:

  1. Navigate to Devices > Inventory.
  2. Select the Azure Device, and click the Options button (The device SSH Key name is stored in the sshKeyName property.)
  3. Write down the value of this property to be used for the Secrets module.

Enable SSH Key Connection in Device Groups:

  1. Navigate to Devices > Inventory.
  2. Select the Device Group to which Azure devices are imported and click the Options button.
  3. Add the addDeviceSshKeyToUserSelection property and set the value as true

Upload the SSH key to and enable connection to the device:

  1. Navigate to Secrets > Vault.
  2. Fill in the required fields (The Account Name field must be exactly equal to the value in the Device Property)
  3. Select Static SSH Key as the Configuration.
  4. Copy the contents of the SSH key into the SSH Key field.

The SSH keys must be in OpenSSH key format, meaning the value put into the Secret Data field should: start with the “---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----” and end with the “---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----” indicators.
