Setting Up Advanced SSH Configuration

A user with administrative credentials can configure the SSH idle timeout and client authentication settings. The following screen shows the Advanced SSH Configuration.

Advanced SSH Configuration

  • In the Idle Timeout field, enter the idle timeout period in seconds. This allows the user to set idle timeout period for the SSH server before logout.

  • When you are working on the OS Console using the OpenSSH session, if the session is idle for the specified time, then the OS Console session gets closed. However, you are re-directed to the Administration screen.

  • In the Client Authentications field, specify the order for trying the SSH authentication method. This allows you to prefer one method over another. The default for this option is publickey, password.
