Tag Workbench

The SSH Key Tag Workbench is an SSH Hunter tool optimized for rapidly viewing SSH Keys and applying Key Tags in bulk, as well as individually.

How to Use

The principal use of the Tag Workbench consists of two fundamental steps.

Key Selection

The left column of the workbench presents a list of "friendly named" SSH keys along with the quantity of hosts, users, and key tags that are currently associated with each listed key. This list can be filtered using options from one of the following three categories:

  • General - Display keys that are without tags, not in zones, recently added, or all keys.
  • Seen On Hosts - Display keys that are already associated with an existing Host Tag.
  • Keys Tagged - Display keys that are already associated with an existing Key Tag.

The "Keys: No Tags" option is the default filter, allowing you to quickly see which keys are in most need of having key tags applied.

Once the key list is filtered as desired, the arrow keys — in addition to the mouse — can be used to navigate up and down the list, as well as to move into the Key Users list in the main section. The use of the Enter key toggles the selection of the highlighted key. This allows for rapid review and selection of keys.

A Security Zone can also be created from one or more selected keys by clicking on the Zone button.

Key Tagging

Once one or more keys have been selected, the second stage involves adding or removing Key Tags. For bulk editing, start by clicking on the Tag button to open the Edit Key Tags form.

In the form, enter at least one Key Tag name, which can be new, existing, or even the reserved Banned or Protected tags. Next, choose your Action (Add or Remove) and finally submit the form. At this point the provided tag(s) will be either added or removed from all of the SSH keys that were selected.

For tagging of a single key, the No Tags or Add buttons, found under the key's friendly name, or the Tune > Tag SSH key menu option, can be used to edit the tags of that specific key. For tag removal, clicking the "X" within each key tag is a fast way to remove a single tag.
