20.2

Connection creation

The connection creation / configuration dialog has been reworked to allow for a more efficient workflow. When validating a connection, the window is no longer blocked, and you can continue editing the connection or also minimize it meanwhile.

Command rework

The custom command entries that you can create at New -> Command have been completely reworked. You can now create runnable commands / scripts to be run in a terminal or in the background without having to depend on creating scripts.

Remote SSH configs

This update adds back support for SSH configs located on a remote system. You can now add entries from SSH config files by searching for available connections on a remote system. If any host is configured in the config file, it will be added automatically to XPipe.

Network scan

The network scan has been improved. You can now also explicitly select detected systems even when there was no listening server running on them. Furthermore, the check whether an SSH server is listening has been improved as there were a few false negatives.

Updated names

The names and location of SSH connections in the creation menu have been updated. There is now no longer a simple SSH connection but instead just an SSH connection.

Fixes

• Fix various daemon errors on certain Linux systems where user management was done with active directory and others
• Fix custom icons sometimes not loading properly on startup

20.1

Gateway adjustments

The SSH gateway setting has been adjusted again to be more clear on what it does. The documentation has also been updated. The default value has also been reverted to use gateway tunnels instead of ProxyJump again as gateway tunnels turn out to still work better than jump servers.

Furthermore, various fixes have been implemented for SSH gateways and EC2 gateways.

Changes

• Add support for the passbolt password manager
• Add proper connection dropdown in Windows SSH settings for X11 forward WSL instance
• Format key passphrase prompts to not include the full file path to be shorter

Fixes

• Fix disable TLS verification setting for HTTP requests not applying properly
• Fix various NullPointers
• Fix occasional application freeze due to deadlock
• Fix various typos

20.0

AWS support

You can now connect to your AWS systems from within XPipe. Currently, EC2 systems and S3 buckets are supported. The integration works on top of the AWS CLI, meaning that it is required to be installed on your system. The usage of the AWS CLI allows the integration to work very flexibly on any existing CLI setup if you already use the CLI. You can use any IAM access keys and authentication methods with it.

The EC2 support works as with any other remote system in XPipe. The connections can be established via SSH with optional AWS Systems Manager (SSM) support. The SSM support allows you to also reach systems that do not have a security group configured to allow external access to the normal SSH port.

The S3 support is available both for AWS buckets and other external buckets that are compatible with the S3 protocol. More enhancements to the performance and features of s3 file systems are planned.

This integration will be available in the Professional plan, but is also available for free for a month after release to iron out any issues first.

SSH keygen

You can now generate new SSH keys from within XPipe. The keys are generated via the installed OpenSSH ssh-keygen CLI tool, so you can be assured that the keys are generated in a cryptographically secure manner. You can generate keys with this button:

This keygen right now supports RSA, ED25519, and ED25519 + FIDO2:

Keys of identities can now also be automatically applied to systems, allowing you to perform a quick key rotation when needed:

The process of changing the authentication configuration of a system is not always one simple step. So the dialog is a comprehensive overview of what is needed to apply a certain identity to a remote system, with various quick-action buttons and notes. This gives you still full manual control of what should be done and an overview of what is required prior to doing so.

As adding new authorized identities to systems requires the public key, there is now the functionality to generate and store the public key for identities based on the existing private key:

Tags

You can now create and add tags to connection entries. This allows you to have a more structured workflow when filtering individual connections.

SSH jump servers

The jump server / gateway configuration has been reworked to make the configuration more intuitive. You can now control the jump server behaviour right at the gateway field for a connection. When a gateway is set, XPipe now defaults to using it as a jump server unless the option is explicitly disabled, which is a change from the previous version where it was the other way around.

Tailscale

The tailscale integration has been updated with the recent improvements that were implemented for Netbird and AWS. It no longer requires the Tailscale SSH auth and instead gives you the option to use the automatic Tailscale SSH auth or connect normally to an SSH server, which requires password / key authentication. When configuring a tailscale system, you can choose the authentication type.

Furthermore, you can now use Tailscale connection entries as the base for other types of connections, e.g. direct RDP / VNC connections.

Split terminals

There is now a new batch action to open multiple systems in a split terminal pane instead of individual tabs. This action is only supported for terminals that support this, which currently includes: Windows Terminal, Kitty, and WezTerm. In addition, this is also supported when using any other terminal and a terminal multiplexer like tmux or zellij.

This allows you to also use a feature like broadcast mode of your terminal to type one command into multiple terminal panes at the same time.

Group vaults

In addition to existing team vaults with multiple users, you can now also set up team group vaults:

They work basically the same as user vaults, only the authentication/unlock workflow differs. Each group has a shared group secret, which can automatically be retrieved in one of multiple ways like a password manager, a custom command, or a secret file. This gives organization administrators the ability to control access to connections from a central location without users having to supply any passwords themselves. You can flexibly convert existing team vaults into group vaults if needed.
