Royal TS SSH with Teleport semi-using Putty saved Sessions

[Atroskelis]

I've managed to use Royal TS to SSH to hosts behind 1 Teleport proxy/cluster

You'd need
Royal TS
Putty
tsh

Notes and caveats:

• I've been unable to use a private key that wasn't putty's ppk. It complains
• I've been unable to use the sessions without tsh puttyconfig for some reason that i couldnt find out.

1. Login with tsh manually and puttyconfig your required sessions - You can also create a task that runs the tsh executable with the 'login --proxy=xxx' arguments

2. In Royal TS, create a connection and edit the Active Plugin Putty Settigs and add your putty executable
   2.1
   

3. in the Credentials - Private key file set the location of your ppk, it should be in your Users\username.tsh\keys<proxy>\username.ppk

4. in Advanced - SSH settings - Credentials put the -cert.pub found in .tsh\keys<proxy>\username-ssh\

5. In the Proxy Settings, set proxy mode to local and Proxy Server to your Teleport login page

6. In proxy settings -> Advanced -> Telnet or local proxy command set something similar to this - configure the path to where you downloaded tsh.exe
   C:\\Users\\username\\teleport-v15.3.1-windows-amd64-bin\\tsh.exe proxy ssh --cluster=<clustername> --proxy=<proxyname> %user@%host

7. in The Terminal Settings put Display name as you desire and the computer name as the session you want to connect to teleport node

8. Test and modify as needed

9. For bulk import i recommend you create a template from a perfect working terminal and add a new terminal with template and add every hostname you need separated by ; and it will auto-generate the rest. Do not attempt CSV import as it will not import proxy settings

The advantage of this method vs importing the putty session directly is that with importing most settings are unavailable (you must edit the putty saved session every time, including for fonts) also with importing the proxy settings do not not get imported.

Any criticism or suggestion is accepted.
