Manually adding the host key of a server

The following describes how to add the host key manually.

NOTE:

One Identity recommends using 2048-bit RSA keys (or stronger).

To add the host key manually

  1. Navigate to the SSH Control > Server Host Keys and click .

  2. Enter the IP address and port of the server into the Address and Port fields.

    You can use IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well.

  3. To set the host key of the server, complete the following steps:

    1. To add the RSA fingerprint of the server, click in the Public key (RSA) field.

      A pop-up window is displayed.

    2. Figure 195: SSH Control > Server Host Keys — Uploading server host keys

      • Select Query to retrieve the host key from the server.

      • To upload the host key manually, select Browse, select the file, and click Upload. Optionally, you can also paste the key into the Copy-paste key section and select Upload.

        Close the window.

  4. Click Commit.

Creating and editing protocol-level SSH settings

SSH settings determine the parameters of the connection on the protocol level. For example, when the server-side connection is built, the timeout value, and greeting message of the connection. The following parameters determine which algorithms are used in the connections, and can be set independently for the client and the server side: key exchange, host key, cipher, MAC, and compression algorithms.

Caution:

Before modifying any of the algorithm settings, check whether the default algorithms are supported by your SSH client and server.

If yes, then you can leave these settings untouched.

If not and you need to amend the default algorithm settings, ensure that the client and server sides are harmonized. You can either do that in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) or on the client/server itself.

Note that modifying algorithm settings in SPS is recommended to advanced users only. If you are unsure about which settings to amend, then contact our Support Team for assistance.

Figure 196: SSH Control > Settings — SSH settings

To create a new SSH settings profile or edit an existing one

  1. Navigate to the SSH Control > Settings and click to create an SSH setting profile. Enter a name for the profile (for example strongencryption).

  2. Click to display the parameters of the SSH connection.

  3. To set a connection timeout value, enter a value in the Idle timeout field in milliseconds. To avoid early timeout, set it to a larger value, for example a week (604800000 milliseconds).

    Caution:

    Determining if a connection is idle is based on the network traffic generated by the connection, not the activity of the user. For example, if an application or the taskbar of a graphical desktop displays the time which is updated every minute, it generates network traffic every minute, negating the effects of timeout values greater than one minute and preventing One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) from closing the connection.

  4. To display a greeting message to the clients after connecting the server, enter the message into the Greeting field.

  5. To display a banner message to the clients before authentication (as specified in RFC 4252 — The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication Protocol), enter the message into the Banner field. For example, this banner can inform the users that the connection is audited.

  6. Optional. You can specify additional text to append to the SSH protocol banner, for example to mask the OpenSSH version upon connection. Enter the text in the Software version field.

  7. If needed, modify the encryption parameters. SPS enforces policies on the various elements of the encrypted SSH communication, such as the MAC, key-exchange, and cipher algorithms that are permitted to be used. The parameters can be set separately for the client and for the server side. The attributes are comma-separated strings listing the enabled methods/algorithms, in the order of preference.

    For a complete list of the available parameters, see Supported encryption algorithms.

    NOTE:

    Do not use the CBC block cipher mode, or the diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange algorithm. For details, see "Supported encryption algorithms" in the Administration Guide.

  8. To check the protocol-level parameters of the connections very strictly, select the Strict mode option. This option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled:

    SPS will reject connections that use unrealistic parameters, for example:

    • The number of columns and rows of the terminal is bigger or equal than 512.

    • The size of the screen is greater than 8192 pixels in either directions.

    SPS will reject port-forwarding connections where the address in the port-forwarding request and the channel-opening request does not match.

    NOTE:

    Strict mode can interfere with certain client or server applications.

    NOTE:

    Strict mode is not working with the Windows 10 internal Bash/WSL feature, because it uses a very large terminal window size. Using Windows 10 internal Bash/WSL is not supported.

  9. Before establishing the server-side connection, SPS can evaluate the connection and channel policies to determine if the connection might be permitted at all, for example it is not denied by a Time Policy. To enable this function, select the Enable pre channel check option. That way SPS establishes the server-side connection only if the evaluated policies permit the client to access the server.

  10. Click Commit.

  11. Select this settings profile in the SSH settings field of your connections.

Supported encryption algorithms

The following tables contain all the encryption algorithms you can configure One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) to recognize. If you use a configuration that is only partially supported, SPS might ignore the connection without warning.

NOTE:

Do not use the CBC block cipher mode, or the diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange algorithm.

Key exchange algorithms

The default SPS configuration for both the client and the server is the following:

diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

The following key exchange (KEX) algorithms are recognized:

Telnet-specific settings

The following sections describe configuration settings available only for the Telnet protocol. Use the following policies to control who, when, and how can access the Telnet connection. For a list of supported client applications, see Supported protocols and client applications.

  • Channel Policy: The Telnet protocol has only one channel type with no special configuration options. The available channel policy options are the following: Type, From, Target, Time policy, 4 eyes, Record audit trail, Gateway groups, Remote groups, and Content policy. For details on configuring these options, see Creating and editing channel policies.

  • TLS support: To enable TLS-encryption for your Telnet connections, see Enabling TLS-encryption for Telnet connections.

  • Authentication Policy: Authentication policies describe the authentication methods allowed in a connection. Different methods can be used for the client and server-side connections. For details, see Creating a new Telnet authentication policy.

  • Telnet settings: Telnet settings determine the parameters of the connection on the protocol level, including timeout value, and so on. For details, see Creating and editing protocol-level Telnet settings.

  • User lists in Channel Policies: User lists affect Telnet connections only when they are used together with Gateway Authentication. For details, see Configuring gateway authentication.

  • Content Policy: Content policies allow you to inspect the content of the connections for various text patterns, and perform an action if the pattern is found. For example, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can send an e-mail alert if a specific command is used in a Telnet terminal session. For details, see Creating a new content policy.

  • Authentication and Authorization plugin:

    One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) provides a plugin framework to integrate SPS to external systems to authenticate or authorize the user before authenticating on the target server. Such plugins can also be used to request additional information from the users, for example, to perform multi-factor authentication.

    For details, see Integrating external authentication and authorization systems.
