You can create one or more `connection` blocks that describe how to access the remote resource. One use case for providing multiple connections is to have an initial provisioner connect as the `root` user to set up user accounts, and then have subsequent provisioners connect as a user with more limited permissions.

## Argument Reference ## Argument Reference
**The following arguments are supported by all connection types:** | Argument Name | Supported By | Description | Default |
|---------------|--------------|-------------|---------|
* `type` - The connection type that should be used. Valid types are `ssh` and `winrm`. | `type` | Both | The connection type that should be used. Valid types are `"ssh"` and `"winrm"`. | `"ssh"` |
Defaults to `ssh`. | `user` | Both | The user to use for the connection. | `root` for type `"ssh"`<br />`Administrator` for type `"winrm"` |
| `password` | Both | The password we should use for the connection. | |
* `user` - The user that we should use for the connection. | `host` | Both | **Required** - The address of the resource to connect to. | |
Defaults to `root` when using type `ssh` and defaults to `Administrator` when using type `winrm`. | `port` | Both| The port to connect to. | `22` for type `"ssh"`<br />`5985` for type `"winrm"` |
| `timeout` | Both | The timeout to wait for the connection to become available. Should be provided as a string like `"30s"` or `"5m"`. | `"5m"` |
* `password` - The password we should use for the connection. In some cases this is | `script_path` | Both | The path used to copy scripts meant for remote execution.

specified by the provider. | `private_key` | SSH | The contents of an SSH key to use for the connection. These can be loaded from a file on disk using [the `file` function](/language/functions/file). This takes preference over `password` if provided. | |
| `certificate` | SSH | The contents of a signed CA Certificate. The certificate argument must be used in conjunction with a `private_key`. These can be loaded from a file on disk using the [the `file` function](/language/functions/file). | |
* `host` - (Required) The address of the resource to connect to. | `agent` | SSH | Set to `false` to disable using `ssh-agent` to authenticate. On Windows the only supported SSH authentication agent is [Pageant](http://the.earth.li/\~sgtatham/putty/0.66/htmldoc/Chapter9.html#pageant). | |
| `agent_identity`| SSH | The preferred identity from the ssh agent for authentication. | |
* `port` - The port to connect to. | `host_key` | SSH | The public key from the remote host or the signing CA, used to verify the connection. | |
Defaults to `22` when using type `ssh` and defaults to `5985` when using type `winrm`. | `target_platform`| SSH | The target platform to connect to. Valid values are `"windows"` and `"unix"`. If the platform is set to `windows`, the default `script_path` is `c:\windows\temp\terraform_%RAND%.cmd`, assuming [the SSH default shell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_server_configuration#configuring-the-default-shell-for-openssh-in-windows) is `cmd.exe`. If the SSH default shell is PowerShell, set `script_path` to `"c:/windows/temp/terraform_%RAND%.ps1"` | `"unix"` |
| `https`| WinRM | Set to `true` to connect using HTTPS instead of HTTP. | |
* `timeout` - The timeout to wait for the connection to become available. Should be provided as a string like `30s` or `5m`. | `insecure`| WinRM | Set to `true` to not validate skip validating the HTTPS certificate chain. | |
Defaults to 5 minutes. | `use_ntlm` | WinRM | Set to `true` to use NTLM authentication, rather than default (basic authentication), removing the requirement for basic authentication to be enabled within the target guest. For more information, see [Authentication for Remote Connections](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winrm/authentication-for-remote-connections) in the Windows App Development documentation. | |
| `cacert` | WinRM | The CA certificate to validate against. | |
* `script_path` - The path used to copy scripts meant for remote execution.

* `private_key` - The contents of an SSH key to use for the connection. These can
be loaded from a file on disk using
[the `file` function](/language/functions/file). This takes
preference over the password if provided.
* `certificate` - The contents of a signed CA Certificate. The certificate argument must be
used in conjunction with a `private_key`. These can
be loaded from a file on disk using the [the `file` function](/language/functions/file).
* `agent` - Set to `false` to disable using `ssh-agent` to authenticate. On Windows the
only supported SSH authentication agent is
[Pageant](http://the.earth.li/\~sgtatham/putty/0.66/htmldoc/Chapter9.html#pageant).
* `agent_identity` - The preferred identity from the ssh agent for authentication.
* `host_key` - The public key from the remote host or the signing CA, used to
verify the connection.
* `target_platform` - The target platform to connect to. Valid values are `"windows"` and `"unix"`. Defaults to `"unix"` if not set.
**Additional arguments only supported by the `winrm` connection type:**
* `https` - Set to `true` to connect using HTTPS instead of HTTP.
* `insecure` - Set to `true` to not validate the HTTPS certificate chain.
