Connect menu should add a `-style` option to support the CLI flag. #2493

jboero commented 2 months ago

We have a cutomer on HCP Boundary that's using LDAP (IPA) and can't enable certs for Boundary. The solution seems to be the -style=sshpass flag in boundary connect though this option is not yet available in the Boundary Desktop app. Currently there is only a "Quick Connect" button where it would be nice to also have an "Advanced Connect" button or a menu for the connect flags in CLI.

It would be great to have a more advanced option for connecting or templating the boundary connect cli command used by Boundary Desktop.

Describe alternatives you've considered Only manual use of the CLI works for this, but the customer would love to have a seamless experience with Desktop/Electron app.

Explain any additional use-cases It would be nice to have general templating for the various connect plugins. Many of them have extra options available: https://developer.hashicorp.com/boundary/docs/commands/connect/ssh#ssh-options

@jboero thanks for logging this feature request. I can see the value in providing end-users the ability to specify advanced connection parameters within the Boundary desktop client UI. I'll leave this feature request open to gauge interest from the community which would help us in prioritizing this capability in the future.
