Global SSH options

List of options that affect all SSH connections.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/ssh/options
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

Element Type Description
key string Top level element, contains the ID of the policy.
body Top level element (string) The elements of the SSH settings policy.
client_side_algorithms Top level element (list) Lists the permitted client-side encryption parameters.
cipher list Lists the permitted client-side cipher algorithms.
compression list Lists the permitted client-side compression algorithms.
kex list Lists the permitted client-side KEX algorithms.
mac list Lists the permitted client-side MAC algorithms.
greeting string Greeting message for the connection.
name string Name of the SSH settings policy.
preconnect_channel_check boolean

Before establishing the server-side connection, SPS can evaluate the connection and channel policies to determine if the connection might be permitted at all. The server-side connection is established only if the evaluated policies permit the client to access the server.

To enable this function, set the parameter to true.

server_side_algorithms Top level element (list) Lists the permitted server-side encryption parameters.
cipher list Lists the permitted server-side cipher algorithms.
compression list Lists the permitted server-side compression algorithms.
kex list Lists the permitted server-side KEX algorithms.
mac list Lists the permitted server-side MAC algorithms.
software_version string Specifies additional text to append to the SSH protocol banner sent by the server upon connection.
strict_mode boolean

When this option is enabled, SPS rejects connections that use unrealistic parameters (for example, terminals of thousand by thousand characters) and port-forwarding connections where the address in the port-forwarding request and the channel-opening request does not match. Note that this can interfere with certain client or server applications.

Strict mode is allowed by default. To turn it off, set the parameter to false.

timeout int Connection timeout, in seconds.
inactivity_timeout Top level element
enabled boolean
  • true: If no user activity is detected, it terminates the session after the configured time has passed since the last user activity.
  • false: No user inactivity timeout.
value int

Only if enabled is true

The value of user activity timeout. Must be greater than or equal to the value of timeout

userauth_banner string You can display a banner message to the clients before authentication (as specified in RFC 4252 — The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication Protocol). You can use this banner to inform the users that the connection is audited.

SSH host keys and certificates

SPS stores the host keys and X.509 certificates of the trusted servers. When a client tries to connect to a server, SPS verifies the host key or the certificate of the server, and allows connections only to the servers that have their keys available on SPS (unless the SSH Connection Policy is configured differently).

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Code Description Notes
201 Created The new resource was successfully created.
400 InvalidQuery The requested filter or its value is invalid.
401 Unauthenticated The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.

Search and filter host keys

To list only specific host keys, you can use the following filters.

  • List every host key and certificate:

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys
  • List host keys of a specific type:

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?type=<type-to-list>

    Possible values: ssh-rsa, ssh-dss, x509v3-sign-rsa, x509v3-sign-dss. For example:

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?type=ssh-rsa
  • List host keys for a specific port number:

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?port=<port-number-to-list>
  • List host keys for a specific host address (IPv4 or IPv6):

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?address=<host-address>
  • For a complex filter, separate the parameters with an ampersand (&) character, for example:

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?port=<port-number-to-list>&type=<type-to-list>

The response to such requests is a JSON object, where the items list includes the IDs of the selected host keys (or an empty list). For example, filtering for ssh-dss keys could return a similar list:

{
  "meta": {
    "href": "/api/ssh-host-keys",
    "parent": "/api"
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "key": "ssh-dss-10.110.0.1:22",
      "meta": {"href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-dss-10.110.0.1:22"}
    },
    {
      "key": "ssh-dss-10.110.0.2:2222",
      "meta": {"href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-dss-10.110.0.2:2222"}
    }
  ]
}
Add new host key

To upload a new host key or certificate, you have to POST the host key and other data as a JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys endpoint. For details, see Create a new object. The body of the POST request must contain a JSON object with the parameters listed in Element . If the POST request is successful, the response includes an ID for the host key in the following format: <type-of-the-key>-<host-address>:<host-port>. For example:

{
  "address": "10.110.0.1",
  "port": 22,
  "type": {
    "selection": "ssh-rsa",
    "value": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAD...zvMwgc=="
  }
}

Note that for IPv6 addresses, SPS will automatically convert the address to its canonical format.

Delete host key

To delete a host key or certificate, you have to DELETE https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys/<ID-of-the-host-key> endpoint. For details, see Delete an object. If the DELETE request is successful, the response includes only the meta object, for example:

{
    "meta": {
        "href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-rsa-10.10.20.35:22",
        "parent": "/api/ssh-host-keys"
    }
}

You must commit your changes to actually delete the object from SPS.
