ZOC Terminal is a professional
SSH Client
and
Terminal Emulator
for Windows and macOS.
Secure Shell (SSH) → Selecting a SSH Key
When selecting an SSH key, you can choose between various options.
| Key File(s) | |
This will accept OpenSSH compatible private key files or certs.
If you have a Putty ppk file, you will need to use putty-keygen
to convert it into OpenSSH format.
| |
| PKCS#11 Library | |
PKCS#11 is an interface mostly used with card readers or other
hardware keys. You select a Windows DLL or macOS dylib/so file
which allows the ZOC Terminal to access the hardware keys.
For example, for the relatively popular Yubi-Key plugs, the
corresponding file would be C:\Program Files\Yubico\Yubico PIV Tool\bin\libykcs11.dll.

| Global SSH Keys | |
ZOC allows to define global authentication keys
via its Tools menu or through the SSH options window.
When you choose this option, ZOC will use all of the keys defined
there and will offer them to the server for authentication.

| Windows Certificate | |
If you have authentication keys in the Windows Certificate Store, this option lets you choose one. This also applies to hardware, e.g. CAC/PIV cards or usb hardware keys which map their keys to the Windows Certificate Store. | |
