Jenkins SSH Agent Plugin shows empty drop down in Jenkins Job

Question

I am using SSH Agent Plugin version 1.17 with Jenkins version 2.190.3

When I create credentials using Jenkins -> Credentials -> System -> Global credentials (unrestricted) -> Add Credentials

But when I create jenkins job type Freestyle project, I don't see credentials in ssh agent drop down.

Please advise what I am missing

Update:

Issue is open for credentials (username/password) https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-59807 but good thing is that it works with private key :)

You have to select Kind as SSH Username with private key to be able to specific use credentials in ssh agent:

Yeah! you need to add the SSH credentials first before connecting. – Carolina Herrera Jan 07 '20 at 21:58
Thanks Sers, just notice it is existing issue with username/password but it works with private key https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-59807 – Developer Jan 07 '20 at 22:04
