SSH
|
|
###
|
|
|
|
:abbr:`SSH (Secure Shell)` is a cryptographic network protocol for operating
|
|
network services securely over an unsecured network. The standard TCP port for
|
|
SSH is 22. The best known example application is for remote login to computer
|
|
systems by users.
|
|
|
|
SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server
|
|
architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server. Common
|
|
applications include remote command-line login and remote command execution,
|
|
but any network service can be secured with SSH. The protocol specification
|
|
distinguishes between two major versions, referred to as SSH-1 and SSH-2.
|
|
|
|
The most visible application of the protocol is for access to shell accounts
|
|
on Unix-like operating systems, but it sees some limited use on Windows as
|
|
well. In 2015, Microsoft announced that they would include native support for
|
|
SSH in a future release.
|
|
|
|
SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell
|
|
protocols such as the Berkeley rlogin, rsh, and rexec protocols.
|
|
Those protocols send information, notably passwords, in plaintext,
|
|
rendering them susceptible to interception and disclosure using packet
|
|
analysis. The encryption used by SSH is intended to provide confidentiality
|
|
and integrity of data over an unsecured network, such as the Internet.

Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh port <port>
|
|
|
|
Enabling SSH only requires you to specify the port ``<port>`` you want SSH to
|
|
listen on. By default, SSH runs on port 22.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh listen-address <address>
|
|
|
|
Specify IPv4/IPv6 listen address of SSH server. Multiple addresses can be
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh ciphers <cipher>
|
|
|
|
Define allowed ciphers used for the SSH connection. A number of allowed ciphers
|
|
can be specified, use multiple occurrences to allow multiple ciphers. You can
|
|
choose from the following ciphers: ``3des-cbc``, ``aes128-cbc``, ``aes192-cbc``,
|
|
``aes256-cbc``, ``aes128-ctr``, ``aes192-ctr``, ``aes256-ctr``, ``arcfour128``,
|
|
``arcfour256``, ``arcfour``, ``blowfish-cbc``, ``cast128-cbc``
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh disable-password-authentication
|
|
|
|
Disable password based authentication. Login via SSH keys only. This hardens
|
|
security!
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd: set service ssh disable-host-validation
|
|
|
|
Disable the host validation through reverse DNS lookups - can speedup login
|
|
time when reverse lookup is not possible.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh macs <mac>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the available :abbr:`MAC (Message Authentication Code)` algorithms.
|
|
The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2 for data integrity protection.
|
|
Multiple algorithms can be provided. Supported MACs: ``hmac-md5``,
|
|
``hmac-md5-96``, ``hmac-ripemd160``, ``hmac-sha1``, ``hmac-sha1-96``,
|
|
``hmac-sha2-256``, ``hmac-sha2-512``, ``umac-64@openssh.com``,
|
|
``umac-128@openssh.com``, ``hmac-md5-etm@openssh.com``,
|
|
``hmac-md5-96-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com``,
|
|
``hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-sha1-96-etm@openssh.com``,
|
|
``hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com``,
|
|
``umac-64-etm@openssh.com``, ``umac-128-etm@openssh.com``
|
|
|
|
.. note:: VyOS 1.1 supported login as user ``root``. This has been removed due
|
|
to tighter security in VyOS 1.2.
