This section introduces the XML-based Tectia Server configuration file
ssh-server-config.xml, its structure, elements and
options. For descriptions of the elements, see ssh-server-config(5). For information on the syntax of the
configuration file, see Appendix A.
The configuration file follows the same logic that is used in setting up a Secure Shell connection:
The settings related to the server's own configuration are
made in the params block.
After the client has initiated a connection to the server, the server checks whether
connections from the client address are allowed. The client and server perform key
exchange where the server authenticates itself to the client, and ciphers, KEXs and MACs
are selected for the connection. The related configuration settings are made in the
connections block.
The server requests the user to authenticate itself to
the server. The server may offer a selection of authentication methods,
or require several authentication methods to be passed in succession.
The configuration settings related to authentication are made in the
authentication-methods block.
The server determines the services the client is allowed to
use. The related configuration settings are made in the
services block.

The configuration file is read in top-down order during connection setup. If a connection is denied in one of the blocks, the connection setup phase ends immediately and the rest of the configuration file will not be read at all. |
