Hello, I’ve just installed v5.2r9 on Visual Studio 2015.
I’ve gone to Tools / SSH Host Manager, and have successfully set up a SSH connection to my Linux environment.
However, I’m expecting to see a Host Aliases tab where I could alias my connection details, but nothing is there (I see SSH Connections, Host-wide settings and Vagrant VMs).
Is this expected? Is there another way to set up the alias?
Thanks,
mikey
Hi,
The SSH host aliases are available starting from the Custom edition (see the feature matrix). If you are using a lower edition, you can achieve the same effect by defining Windows environment variables (e.g. DEPLOYHOST=linuxbox) and manually editing the .vgdbsettings files to use those environment variables (e.g. replace linuxbox with $(DEPLOYHOST)). Note that you will need to restart Visual Studio after you update the Windows environment variables.
