Managing authorized_keys

Users Tab of Hosts

The Users tab of Hosts gives access to the configuration of the authorized SSH keys per user.

This tab lets you:

   At the end of Sync Authorized Keys, the Muppy list #5 and the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file contain the union of the keys that were present in the Muppy list #5 and the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. 2.
