New SSH key type

[Jeffrey Goode]

I was forced to upgrade my SSH key on my public facing device because RSA keys were no longer supported. The only allowed type for SSH public key authentication is ed25519. The new key does work locally in an SSH session and remotely via other software, but I can't get it to import in aRDP. It reports "Failed to import. Generate with 'ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -m PKCS8'". Ideas?

Yes, aRDP for Android supports ecdsa and rsa keys, not ed25519 keys as yet.

You can open a feature request at:

Thanks!

The conscious mind has only one thread of execution.
