I am trying to get my secpanel to work with my ec2 instance. I can ssh to it from a terminal like this:

shh -i UbuntuKey.pem ubuntu@x.x.x.x

that works fine, but when I set the same thing up in secpanel, I get a brief look at the terminal, then it closes. I have the host set correctly, the user is ubuntu, and the Identity is pointing to the UbuntuKey.pem and using port 22.

Am I missing anything else?

Make sure you set the permission 0400 on the .pem file.

1) Open a terminal. 2) go to the folder where the .pem file is. 3) type: 

chmod 0400 pemFileName.pem
