Agent: Forwards the SSH authentication agent from the client to the server.

X11 Forward: Forwards the graphical X-server session from the server to the client. List the address of the client in the networks field to permit X11-forwarding only to the specified clients. Specify IP addresses or networks (in IP address/Prefix format). For example:

"networks": [
  {
    "selection": "address",
    "value": "192.168.1.1"
  },
  {
    "selection": "address",
    "value": "192.168.1.2"
  }
                        
NOTE: 
Certain client applications send the Target address as a hostname, while others as an IP address. If you are using a mix of different client applications, you might have to duplicate the channel rules and create IP-address and hostname versions of the same rule.
Channel-specific access control rules:
networks (list): To X11-forwarding only to specific clients, list the IP addresses or networks of the clients in this field. Leave it empty to permit access to every client. For details, see Limiting addresses in port forwarding.

Local Forward: Forwards traffic arriving to a local port of the client to a remote host. To enable forwarding only between selected hosts, use the local_forwards field. If the local_forwards field is empty, local forwarding is enabled without restriction, the client may forward any traffic to the remote host.

For example:

"local_forwards": [
  {
    "host_address": {
      "selection": "address",
      "value": "192.168.100.1"
    },
    "host_port": 5555,
    "originator_address": {
      "selection": "address",
      "value": "192.168.1.1"
    }
  }
                        
Channel-specific access control rules:
local_forwards (list): To permit local forwarding only to specific addresses, list the addresses in this field. Leave it empty to enable without restriction. In this case the client may forward any traffic to the remote host.
Enter the source of the forwarded traffic into the originator_address field, the target of the traffic into the host_address field. Specify IP addresses or networks (in IP address/Prefix format). These parameters are the end-points of the forwarded traffic (that is, the local host that sends data to the remote host), and not the SSH server or the client. For example, to enable forwarding from the 192.168.20.20 host to the remote host 192.168.50.50, enter 192.168.20.20 into the originator_address, and 192.168.50.50 into the host_address field. For details, see Limiting addresses in port forwarding.

Remote Forward: Forwards traffic arriving a remote port of the server to the client. To enable forwarding only between selected hosts, enter their IP addresses into the remote_forwards field. If the remote_forwards field is empty, remote forwarding is enabled without restriction, the SSH server may forward any traffic to the client.

For example:

"remote_forwards": [
  {
    "connected_address": {
      "selection": "address",
      "value": "192.168.100.1"
    },
    "connected_port": 5555,
    "originator_address": {
      "selection": "address",
      "value": "192.168.1.1"
    }
  }
                        
Channel-specific access control rules:
remote_forwards (list): To permit only specific forwardins, list the permitted addresses in this field. Leave it empty to permit forwarding without restrictions.
Enter the source of the forwarded traffic into the originator_address, the target of the traffic into the connected_address field. Specify IP addresses or networks (in IP address/Prefix format). These parameters are the end-points of the forwarded traffic (that is, the remote host that sends data to the client), and not the SSH server. For example, to enable forwarding from the 192.168.20.20 remote host to the client 192.168.50.50, enter 192.168.20.20 into the originator_address, and 192.168.50.50 into the connected_address field. For details, see Limiting addresses in port forwarding.

Session Exec: Execute a remote command (for example rsync) without opening a session shell. List the permitted command in the execs field. You can use regular expressions to specify the commands. This field can contain only letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the following special characters ({}()*?\\|[]).

Channel-specific access control rules:

• execs (list): List the permitted command in the execs field. Regular expressions may be used to specify the commands.

For example:

"execs": [
  "top",
  "ls"
                    

Session Exec SCP: Transfers files using the Secure Copy (SCP) protocol.

Channel-specific actions:

• log_transfer_to_db (list): (true|false): Make the list of file operations available in the Search > File operations column of the SPS web interface

• log_transfer_to_syslog (list): (true|false): Send the file operations into the system log

For example:

"actions": {
  "audit": false,
  "four_eyes": false,
  "ids": false,
  "log_transfer_to_db": true,
  "log_transfer_to_syslog": true
}

Session Subsystem: Use a subsystem. Enter the name of the permitted subsystem into the subsystems field.

Channel-specific access control rules:

• subsystems (list): List the permitted subsystems in this field.

For example:

"execs": [
  "top",
  "ls"
                    

Session SFTP: Transfers files using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Channel-specific actions:

• log_transfer_to_db (list): (true|false): Make the list of file operations available in the Search > File operations column of the SPS web interface

• log_transfer_to_syslog (list): (true|false): Send the file operations into the system log

For example:

"actions": {
  "audit": false,
  "four_eyes": false,
  "ids": false,
  "log_transfer_to_db": true,
  "log_transfer_to_syslog": true
}

Specifies the type of the address. Possible values: address or network
