RemoteAuthorizationCaching

is an option for RemoteConnect and related functions that determines whether caching of authorization information on remote hosts should be used.

Details

With RemoteAuthorizationCaching->False, explicit username and password or other authentication information must be explicitly provided to RemoteConnect and related functions.
With RemoteAuthorizationCaching->True, a cryptographic key is cached on the remote host after the first connection is made, which allows subsequent connections to be made without giving an explicit password.
Cached authorization is typically stored on the remote machine in the .ssh folder of the $HomeDirectory for the specified user.
