Notes

The value of this parameter specifies the path and name of an account's private key file used for SSHAuthentication. This parameter must be specified if the authentication method AuthenticationMethodPublickey is used.

Should the private key file be secured by a passphrase then this must be specified using the Passphrase parameter.

Authentication files are most often stored in the user home directory in a .ssh folder and have to be secured with the proper file permissions. However, any path can be specified for an authentication file with this parameter. The location of the authentication file has to be accessbible for the account that runs the YADE Client. For Unix systems file permissions 600 are required for authentication files.
