title: Generate Cloudflare Access SSH certificate authority (CA) directly from the Cloudflare dashboard
description: Rather than generating the SSH CA using Cloudflare's API, you can now generate it directly from the dashboard.

SSH with [Cloudflare Access for Infrastructure](/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](~/assets/images/changelog/access/SSH-CA-generation.png)
For more details, refer to [Generate a Cloudflare SSH CA](/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/use-cases/ssh/ssh-infrastructure-access/#generate-a-cloudflare-ssh-ca).
