SSH Reference Manual

Considerations
• This parameter is only relevant for outgoing connections, i.e. with ssh clients SSH[OSSS] and SFTP[OSS]
running on a NonStop™ server.
• In a scenario of ssh clients running in batch mode where password authentication is a requirement the password
prompt does not make sense.
STRICTHOSTKEYCHECKING
This option controls whether to restrict client access to remote systems to only those cases in which the host’s public key
is explicitly configured as a KNOWNHOST entity in the SSHCTL
.
Parameter Syntax
STRICTHOSTKEYCHECKING TRUE|FALSE
Arguments
TRUE|FALSE
Specifies whether host key of remote hosts must be preconfigured in SSHCTL. Following are the possible
arguments:
o TRUE: Access to unknown hosts will be denied.
o FALSE: Users will be prompted if they want to continue a connection to an unknown host and add the
host's public key as a KNOWNHOST entity to the SSHCTL
.
Considerations
• KNOWNHOST entities can be configured using SSHCOM.
Default
If this option is omitted, SSH2 will use a value of TRUE.
Example
STRICTHOSTKEYCHECKING FALSE

Arguments
