Description
Hi,
I'm testing the last nightly build, and the "new" SSH TUNNEL (jump host) functionality is a must have. Thank you for it. However, I have one suggestion to improve it:
- The idea is to add a new option called "share tunnel password". This implements the functionality to store the typed password the fisrt time it's used. And for all new connections using the same tunnel, the password of the jump host will be reused... without typing it again. This will be similar to a SSO (Single Sign-On) functionality. And this improves a lot the usability when you need to access to a lot of servers/machines from outside using the jump host.
I hope you want to implement this.
Regards.

Research direction
Start by locating the SSH TUNNEL (jump host) connection handling in the mRemoteNG desktop application and review how connection credentials are currently managed. Define the security and scope of reusing the first typed jump-host password, then verify that the new share-tunnel-password option works across subsequent connections without requiring repeated entry.
