## Generate Cloudflare Access SSH certificate authority (CA) directly from the Cloudflare dashboard

Nov 14, 2025 

[ Access ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/) 

SSH with [Cloudflare Access for Infrastructure](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/use-cases/ssh/ssh-infrastructure-access/) allows you to use short-lived SSH certificates to eliminate SSH key management and reduce security risks associated with lost or stolen keys.

Previously, users had to generate this certificate by using the [Cloudflare API ↗](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/) directly. With this update, you can now create and manage this certificate in the [Cloudflare One dashboard ↗](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com) from the **Access controls** \> **Service credentials** page.

![Navigate to Access controls and then Service credentials to see where you can generate an SSH CA](https://developers.cloudflare.com/_astro/SSH-CA-generation.DYa9RnX1_ZKuDAo.webp)
