Typically these advanced options do NOT need to be modified by users. Modify these only if instructed by IndySoft Support. Default values are created upon install.

IndySoft Secure Server - Advanced Tab

Allowed ciphers: set the acceptable symmetric encryption algorithms that are used for encrypting transferred data. By default all ciphers are checked.

Client Alive Count Max: Determines how many keep-alive messages may be sent to a client before a response from the client is received. If the value of this property is reached, SSH server will close connection with this client. The default value is 3.

Client Alive Interval: Determines a timeout interval in seconds after which the server will send a keep-alive message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client if no data has been received from the client. The default value is 0. This means that these messages will not be sent to the client.

Max number of startup connections: Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the SSH Server. Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds. The default value is 20. (Hint: this can be a protection used against a Denial of Service attack on the server)

Timeout: Determines time interval in seconds during which the server will try to obtain data from the client when authenticating. If the data is not received, server closes the connection. The default value is 15 seconds. |
