In the Authentication page, you can set authentication method, user name, password and private key. Password and passphrase for the private key are stored encrypted.

Method

Select an authentication method for SSH protocol. If remote host does not support selected method, the SSH User Authentication dialog box opens during login for user authentication.

User Name

Enter a user name you want to log on. The user name is an account name on the remote computer. If you leave it blank, a prompt dialog box for a user name will appear on connection.

Password
