SSH Reference Manual
o  FALSE: file will not be created as audited file. 
Considerations 
•  See parameter "SSHCTL
" for details about the user data base. 
Default 
If omitted, SSH2 will use a value of TRUE. 
Example 
SSHCTLAUDIT FALSE 
SSHKEEPALIVETIME 
Use this parameter to control the frequency of SSH "keepalive" messages. 
Parameter Syntax 
SSHKEEPALIVETIME seconds 
Arguments 
 seconds 
Defines the idle time in seconds after which an SSH_MSG_IGNORE message is sent to the remote client. A 
value of 0 disables sending SSH_MSG_IGNORE messages. 
Default 
The default is 60 (1 minute). 
Considerations 
•  SSHKEEPALIVETIME controls "keepalive" messages on the secure shell protocol level, while 
SOCKETKEEPALIVE
 controls whether keepalive messages should be enabled on TCP socket level. 
•  Sending these messages on idle sessions is an additional measure of protection against advanced traffic analysis 
techniques. 
STOREDPASSWORDSONLY 
Use this SSH2 parameter to disable the prompt for password during user authentication with method password in 
outgoing connections, assuming that the password is stored in the database. 
Parameter Syntax 
STOREDPASSWORDSONLY TRUE|FALSE 
Arguments 
 TRUE|FALSE 
Specifies whether password prompt is suppressed or not. Following are the possible arguments: 
o  TRUE: Password prompt is suppressed. If the password cannot be found in the SSHCTL database, then the 
password authentication will fail. 
o  FALSE: Users will be prompted for the password if that was not found in the SSHCTL database. 
Default 
The default is FALSE. The default behavior is therefore the same as before this parameter was introduced.
