SSH Reference Manual
Arguments 
 subsystem 
Specifies an SSH subsystem to be allowed for incoming connections. Valid values are… 
o  tacl 
o  sftp 
Default 
If omitted, ALLOWEDSUBSYSTEMS will be set to "sftp,tacl". 
Considerations 
•  In an environment with more than one SSH2 process accessing the same SSHCTL database this parameter can 
be used to force users to use one SSH2 process for SFTP sessions and the other SSH2 process for TACL 
sessions. 
•  Although shell/exec requests are not subsystem requests, the parameter ALLOWEDSUBSYSTEMS can be 
used to generally prevent a user from starting a TACL: If parameter ALLOWEDSUBSYSTEM does not 
include subsystem tacl, then any request for a TACL is prevented even when ALLOW-CI is set to TRUE. 
If in this case CI-PROGRAM is configured as “*MENU* …” or “telnet …”, i.e. a TACL is not directly started, 
then the telnet service menu or the telnet forwarding is processed as configured. A user cannot get a TACL 
prompt but it is possible to execute single commands in this case, see section "
TACL Subsystem and Command 
Interpreter Configuration". 
Example 
ALLOWEDSUBSYSTEMS sftp 
ALLOWFROZENSYSTEMUSER 
This parameter controls the behavior when SSH2 detects that the configured SYSTEM-USER of the ssh user is in state 
FROZEN in Safeguard.  
Parameter Syntax 
ALLOWFROZENSYSTEMUSER TRUE|FALSE 
Arguments 
 TRUE|FALSE 
Specifies whether Safeguard users in state frozen are allowed to access the NonStop. Valid values are: 
o  TRUE: A frozen user is not rejected, i.e. can authenticate via configured authentication methods.  
o  FALSE: Authentication fails without trying any of the configured authentication methods if a Safeguard 
user is in state FROZEN.  
Default 
If omitted, ALLOWFROZENSYSTEMUSER will be set to FALSE. This is a change compared to releases prior to 0089 
as frozen users were allowed before version 0089. 
Considerations 
•  This parameter should be set to TRUE only if compatibility to previous behavior is required. 
•  Even if ALLOWFROZENSYSTEMUSER is set to TRUE, the methods password and keyboard-interactive will 
always fail due to the FROZEN state (because Safeguard is involved and will not authenticate a frozen user).
