Specifying SSH Mode
Using SSH Mode tool, you can set restrictions for SSH connections. The restrictions can be hardened or made slack according to your needs. Four modes are available, as described in the following table:
| Mode | SSH Server | SSH Client |
|---|---|---|
| Paranoid | Disable root access | Disable password authentication, allows to connect only using public keys. Block connections to unknown hosts. |
| Standard | Disable root access | Allow password authentication. Allow connections to new or unknown hosts, enforce SSH fingerprint of known hosts. |
| Open | Allow root access Accept connections using passwords and public keys | Allow password authentication. Allow connection to all hosts – do not check hosts fingerprints. |
