        # QuickConnect Plugin

QuickConnect is a plugin for [KeePass](http://keepass.info) password manager that allows you to connect to Windows/Linux/ESXi hosts.

[![Latest Release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/cristianst85/quickconnectplugin.svg)](https://github.com/cristianst85/quickconnectplugin/releases/latest)

[![Total Downloads](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/cristianst85/quickconnectplugin/total.svg?maxAge=86400)](https://github.com/cristianst85/quickconnectplugin/releases/latest)

## Requirements

- Microsoft Windows XP/7/10 with .NET Framework 4.0;

- [KeePass](http://keepass.info) version 2.52 or newer.

## Installation

- Download the [latest](https://github.com/cristianst85/QuickConnectPlugin/releases/latest) release;

- Verify that the checksum for QuickConnectPlugin.plgx matches the one published with the release;

- Copy the QuickConnectPlugin.plgx in the KeePass plugins directory and restart the application.

## Usage

- The plugin adds a new menu item named **QuickConnect** under **Tools** menu;

- Use the **Map Fields** tab in the **Options** dialog to configure the custom fields from which the plugin gets the host address (IP address or hostname) and the connection method;

- Connection method is determined based on the text found in the mapped field. For example, if one of the following strings (case-insensitive) is found, then the corresponding items are added to the entry context menu (right-click):

    * `rdp` or `windows` - *Open Remote Desktop* and *Open Remote Desktop (console)*;

    * `esxi` or `vcenter` - *Open vSphere Client*;

    * `ssh`, `telnet`, `linux` or a known Linux distribution name - *Open PuTTY Console* and *Open WinSCP*.

- Additional options like session name or port can be specified to be used with PuTTY/WinSCP. The syntax is as follows:

    `[{ssh|telnet}|[;session:""[;port:[;ssh_key:""]]]]`.

- Starting with the version [0.6.0-rc.1](https://github.com/cristianst85/QuickConnectPlugin/releases/tag/0.6.0-rc.1) the protocol for WinSCP can be also specified with the additional options. The syntax is as follows:

	`protocol:{sftp|ftp|scp}` (e.g., `protocol:sftp`). If the protocol is omitted then it defaults to `scp`. A complete list of supported protocols by the WinSCP can be found [here](https://winscp.net/eng/docs/protocols).

Connection method and Additional options can be mapped to the same field. This will avoid cluttering the database with too many custom fields.



## Password Changer

This feature allows you to change passwords for Windows/Linux/ESXi hosts directly from KeePass.

### Requirements

- [PsPasswd](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897543.aspx) utility version 1.22 for Windows hosts.

- [vSphere PowerCLI version 5.8.0](https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=PCLI58R1&productId=420) for ESXi hosts.

## Security Considerations

- Please take note that when launching *vSphere Client*, *PuTTY*, *WinSCP* or [*PsPasswd*](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897543.aspx) (via Password Changer) the plugin exposes the password via command-line arguments and it is visible during the entire lifetime of the child process.
