The configuration file WEB-INF/ssh.ini is used to control the appearance and the behavior of the SSH login process. Changes to the settings are necessary in special situations. Please note, that the settings apply to all users logging on to a Unix system via SSH.
Trailing whitespace characters (spaces and line breaks) a parameter value are discarded. To specify whitespace characters even so, use:
Output parameters such as fingerprint are specified using the replacement variable {0} in
the parameter value; this substitution applies to text messages only.
Parameters are grouped by function that is reflected by a hierarchical
naming scheme. If a parameter is missing, it's default value is used. Comments in the configuration
file start with a '#' character and extend to the end of the line.
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
login.prompt.user | Text to prompt for the user's name. Default: Login as:\u0020 |
login.prompt.password |
Text to prompt for the user's password. Default: Password:\u0020 |
login.retry | Number of retrys to login. If it is exceeded, the session will be terminated. Default: 2 |
login.retry.authentication | Number of authentication attempts before the login is restarted. For an authentication using
a password the password prompt will be displayed again. Default: 2 |

message.fingerprint | A fingerprint is a sequence of hex digits uniquely identifying the target system. Displaying
the fingerpring is intended for the user to verify the identity of the target system. On
output the variable {0} is substituted by the fingerprint. Default: no message text Example: Fingerprint of your host:\r\n{0}\r\n |
message.bubblebabble | An alternate representation of a fingerprint as pseudo-words that are easier to read than
the sequence of hex digits. On output the variable {0} is substituted by the encoded
fingerprint. Default: no message text |
authentication.methods | List of authentication methods to be used, sorted by descending preference. If the Unix
server offers a method not contained in the list, this method will not be used. The possible names are: "publickey", "keyboard-interactive", "password" (see RFC4252, RFC4256). Default: publickey, keyboard-interactive, password |
