.pem key credentials Discovery

[H3ll0 Th3r3]

Hi Everyone 🙂

I am trying to run Discovery and I am getting some log messages saying, "No credential found for types [SSH Password,SSH Private Key]". My server that is set up for Discovery detection only has a .pem key right now. When I go into Discovery to add credentials for this, all I can find are credentials that require user names and passwords. What is up with that? How do I provide ServiceNow with the .pem file directly or get a username/password from the .pem to use?

Thanks in advance ❤️

Hi @DaveHertel,

Thanks for your answers.

Is it possible to add private key generated by OPENSSH algorithm ed25519? Not the RSA , DSA or ECDSA?

Because in the documentation website I see this.

The key looks something like this

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

<Details>

-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Kind Regards,

It seems, OpenSSH by default uses ED25519 algorithm to generate key pair, which is more secure and faster, but unfortunately ServiceNow doesn't support (I maynot be true, but I weren't able to make it work).
But then I generate the key pair using RSA algorithm and it worked like charm.

Thanks.
