Defining Security Settings

The security settings can be configured using the Security page of the Settings dialog.

Figure : The Security page of the Settings dialog

Terminal Connections

• Empty Clipboard on Exit

  Select the Empty Clipboard on Exit check box to remove anything that was recently copied using the cut and paste operations from the clipboard.

• Empty Scrollback Buffer on Session Close

  Select the Empty Scrollback Buffer on Session Close check box to empty any remains of the terminal output from the scrollback buffer.

SSH1 Connections

You can also connect to Secure Shell protocol version 1 (SSH1) servers. With the SSH1 Connections selection you can allow SSH1 connections, deny them, or issue a warning when connecting to a remote host computer that is using version 1 of the Secure Shell protocol.

Secure Shell protocol version 2 (SSH2) is a more advanced and secure protocol than the legacy version SSH1. SSH Communications Security considers the SSH1 protocol deprecated and does not recommend its use anymore.

Note that when using an SSH1 connection, multiple terminal windows and the file transfer operations are not available.

• Allow

  Select this option to allow also SSH1 connections.

• Warn

  Select this option to issue a notice when an SSH1 connection is made.

• Deny

  Select this option to deny SSH1 connections.

• Disable password length masking

  Select this check box to not use password length masking when logging in using the SSH1 protocol.

These setting affects the GUI client (only). See Section ssh2_config for instructions on disabling the SSH1 compatibility with the command-line client.

GSSAPI

If Allow old GSSAPI method wich is insecure is selected, GSSAPI authentication will fall back to the old GSSAPI method (without Message Integrity Code) if the new GSSAPI method (with MIC) fails.
