Setting the SSH management parameters
The SSH management parameters can be set to improve the security of SSH connections. The SSH
management parameters include:
• Compatibility between the SSH server and SSH1 clients.
• RSA server key pair update interval, applicable to users using SSH1 client.
• SSH user authentication timeout period. This parameter is used to reject a connection if the
authentication for the connection is not completed before the timeout period expires.
• Maximum number of SSH authentication attempts. This parameter is used to prevent malicious
password cracking.
• SFTP connection idle timeout period. Once the idle period of an SFTP connection exceeds the
specified threshold, the system automatically tears the connection down.
To set the SSH management parameters:
