It may be needed to pass credentials to connect to the hosts EAP runs on.

I've asked Jason Frey:
Hey,
does MiQ have some sort of credential store? Not to talk to the management endpoints, but rather for cases when the MiQ UI user wants to ssh/vnc into a managed VM or similar. Or does the MiQ user always have to „manually“ provide credentials?

Jason Frey @Fryguy 14:40 Yes, the authentications table is the generic store
Heiko W. Rupp @pilhuhn 14:41 so could that theoretically be used to e.g. save ssh credentials for hosts with an EAP server on it so that ssh into that host is possible?
Jason Frey @Fryguy 14:42 Yes
Heiko W. Rupp @pilhuhn 14:42 Cool, that is helpful
Jason Frey @Fryguy 14:42 See also the AuthenticationMixin
Jason Frey @Fryguy 14:53 So, also, we already have a way to set credentials including SSH keys on a Host... See the Host settings screen
