The available keys dialog provides you with information about the keys that you have created and that you can use to perform SSH logins to server instances that are managed by CloudGate Key Manager.
- Active – The key is active and can be used to authenticate to server instances.
- Expired – The key has reached its end of life, and can no longer be used to authenticate to server instances.
- Revoked – The key has been revoked by the user or and administrator, and can no longer be used to authenticate to server instances.
If configured by the CloudGate Key Manager administrator, a Revoke button next to an active key's description will allow you to revoke the key.
Clicking the caret in front of the instance name will reveal more detailed information about the key.
