Configuring Launchers on the Secret

Custom and SSH launchers provide additional settings on the Launcher tab of the secret for customizing authentication to the target.

  • Run Launcher using SSH Key: If there is an SSH key set on the secret, it is used by default for authenticating to the target. Alternatively, you can specify a key from a different secret.
  • Connect As: When an SSH secret is proxied, you can choose to connect as another user and then do an su to the current secret's user. This is a common practice for connecting with a lower privileged account and then switching to the root user.
