NAME

       Config::Model::models::Ssh - Configuration class Ssh

DESCRIPTION

       Configuration classes used by Config::Model

       Configuration class used by Config::Model to edit or validate ~/.ssh/config.

Elements

EnableSSHKeysign
Setting this option to 'yes' in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config
enables the use of the helper program ssh-keysign(8) during HostbasedAuthentication. See
ssh-keysign(8)for more information. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

Host
The declarations make in 'parameters' are applied only to the hosts that match one of the
patterns given in pattern elements. A single '*' as a pattern can be used to provide
global defaults for all hosts. The host is the hostname argument given on the command line
(i.e. the name is not converted to a canonicalized host name before matching). Since the
first obtained value for each parameter is used, more host-specific declarations should be
given near the beginning of the hash (which takes order into account), and general
defaults at the end. Optional. Type hash of node of class Ssh::HostElement .

AddressFamily
Specifies which address family to use when connecting. Optional. Type enum. choice:
'any', 'inet', 'inet6'.

upstream_default value :
any

BatchMode
If set to 'yes', passphrase/password querying will be disabled. In addition, the
ServerAliveInterval option will be set to 300 seconds by default. This option is useful in
scripts and other batch jobs where no user is present to supply the password, and where it
is desirable to detect a broken network swiftly. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

BindAddress
Use the specified address on the local machine as the source address of the connection.
Only useful on systems with more than one address. Note that this option does not work if
UsePrivilegedPort is set to 'yes'. Optional. Type uniline.

ChallengeResponseAuthentication
Specifies whether to use challenge-response authentication. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

CheckHostIP
If enabled, ssh(1) will additionally check the host IP address in the known_hosts file.
This allows ssh to detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing. If disbled, the check
will not be executed. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

Cipher
Specifies the cipher to use for encrypting the session in protocol version 1. "des" is
only supported in the ssh(1) client for interoperability with legacy protocol 1
implementations that do not support the 3des cipher. Its use is strongly discouraged due
to cryptographic weaknesses. Optional. Type enum. choice: 'blowfish', '3des', 'des'.

upstream_default value :
3des

Ciphers
Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2 in order of preference. Multiple
ciphers must be comma-separated. If the specified value begins with a X+X character, then
the specified ciphers will be appended to the default set instead of replacing them. If
the specified value begins with a X-X character, then the specified ciphers (including
wildcards) will be removed from the default set instead of replacing them.

The supported ciphers are:

3des-cbc
aes128-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes256-cbc
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
aes128-gcm@openssh.com
aes256-gcm@openssh.com
arcfour
arcfour128
arcfour256
blowfish-cbc
cast128-cbc
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

The default is:

chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,
aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,
aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc

The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using "ssh -Q cipher" Optional. Type
uniline.

ClearAllForwardings
Specifies that all local, remote, and dynamic port forwardings specified in the
configuration files or on the command line be cleared. This option is primarily useful
when used from the ssh(1) command line to clear port forwardings set in configuration
files, and is automatically set by scp(1) and sftp(1). Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

Compression
Specifies whether to use compression. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

CompressionLevel
Optional. Type integer.

upstream_default value :
6

ConnectionAttempts
Specifies the number of tries (one per second) to make before exiting. The argument must
be an integer. This may be useful in scripts if the connection sometimes fails. Optional.
Type integer.

upstream_default value :
1

ConnectTimeout
Specifies the timeout (in seconds) used when connecting to the SSH server, instead of
using the default system TCP timeout. This value is used only when the target is down or
really unreachable, not when it refuses the connection. Optional. Type integer.

ControlMaster
Enables the sharing of multiple sessions over a single network connection. When set to
'yes', ssh(1) will listen for connections on a control socket specified using the
ControlPath argument. Additional sessions can connect to this socket using the same
ControlPath with ControlMaster set to 'no' (the default). These sessions will try to reuse
the master instance's network connection rather than initiating new ones, but will fall
back to connecting normally if the control socket does not exist, or is not listening.

Setting this to 'ask' will cause ssh to listen for control connections, but require
confirmation using the SSH_ASKPASS program before they are accepted (see ssh-add(1) for
details). If the ControlPath cannot be opened, ssh will continue without connecting to a
master instance.

X11 and ssh-agent(1) forwarding is supported over these multiplexed connections, however
the display and agent forwarded will be the one belonging to the master connection i.e. it
is not pos sible to forward multiple displays or agents.

Two additional options allow for opportunistic multiplexing: try to use a master
connection but fall back to creating a new one if
one does not already exist. These options are: 'auto' and 'autoask'. The latter requires
confirmation like the 'ask' option. Optional. Type enum. choice: 'no', 'yes', 'ask',
'auto', 'autoask'.

upstream_default value :
no

ControlPath
Specify the path to the control socket used for connection sharing as described in the
ControlMaster section above or the string 'none' to disable connection sharing. In the
path, '%l' will be substituted by the local host name, '%h' will be substituted by the
target host name, '%p' the port, and '%r' by the remotelogin username. It is recommended
that any ControlPath used for opportunistic connection sharing include at least %h, %p,
and %r. This ensures that shared connections are uniquely identified. Optional. Type
uniline.

ControlPersist - persists the master connection in the background
When used in conjunction with ControlMaster, specifies that the master connection should
remain open in the background (waiting for future client connections) after the initial
client connection has been closed. If set to ``no'', then the master connection will not
be placed into the background, and will close as soon as the initial client connection is
closed. If set to ``yes'', then the master connection will remain in the background indef-
initely (until killed or closed via a mechanism such as the ssh(1) ``-O exit'' option). If
set to a time in seconds, or a time in any of the formats documented in sshd_config(5),
then the backgrounded master connection will automatically terminate after it has remained
idle (with no client connections) for the specified time. Optional. Type uniline.

DynamicForward
Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over the secure channel, and
the application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote
machine.

The argument must be [bind_address:]port. IPv6 addresses can be specified by enclosing
addresses in square brackets or by using an alternative syntax: [bind_address/]port. By
default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an
explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific address. The
bind_address of 'localhost' indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only,
while an empty address or '*' indicates that the port should be available from all
interfaces.

Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh(1) will act as a SOCKS
server. Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional forwardings can be given on
the command line. Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. Optional. Type list
of uniline.

EscapeChar
Sets the escape character (default: '~'). The escape character can also be set on the
command line. The argument should be a single character, '^' followed by a letter, or
'none' to disable the escape character entirely (making the connection transparent for
binary data). Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
~

ExitOnForwardFailure
Specifies whether ssh(1) should terminate the connection if it cannot set up all requested
dynamic, tunnel, local, and remote port forwardings. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

ForwardAgent
Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if any) will be forwarded to
the remote machine.

Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the ability to bypass file
permissions on the remote host (for the agent's Unix-domain socket) can access the local
agent through the forwarded connection. An attacker cannot obtain key material from the
agent, however they can perform operations on the keys that enable them to authenticate
using the identities loaded into the agent. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

ForwardX11
Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirected over the secure channel
and DISPLAY set.

X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the ability to bypass file
permissions on the remote host (for the user's X11 authorization database) can access the
local X11 dis play through the forwarded connection. An attacker may then be able to
perform activities such as keystroke monitoring if the ForwardX11Trusted option is also
enabled. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

ForwardX11Timeout - timeout for untrusted X11 forwarding
Specify a timeout for untrusted X11 forwarding using the format described in the TIME
FORMATS section of sshd_config(5). X11 connections received by ssh(1) after this time will
be refused. The default is to disable untrusted X11 forwarding after twenty minutes has
elapsed. Optional. Type uniline.

ForwardX11Trusted
If this option is set, remote X11 clients will have full access to the original X11
display.

If this option is not set, remote X11 clients will be considered untrusted and prevented
from stealing or tampering with data belonging to trusted X11 clients. Furthermore, the
xauth(1) token used for the session will be set to expire after 20 minutes. Remote clients
will be refused access after this time.

See the X11 SECURITY extension specification for full details on the restrictions imposed
on untrusted clients. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GatewayPorts
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local forwarded ports. By
default, ssh(1) binds local port forwardings to the loopback address. This prevents other
remote hosts from connecting to forwarded ports. GatewayPorts can be used to specify that
ssh should bind local port forwardings to the wildcard address, thus allowing remote hosts
to connect to forwarded ports. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GlobalKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use for the global host key database. Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

GSSAPIAuthentication
Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed. Note that this option
applies to protocol version 2 only. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GSSAPIKeyExchange
Specifies whether key exchange based on GSSAPI may be used. When using GSSAPI key exchange
the server need not have a host key. Note that this option applies to protocol version 2
only. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GSSAPIClientIdentity
If set, specifies the GSSAPI client identity that ssh should use when connecting to the
server. The default is unset, which means that the default identity will be used.
Optional. Type uniline.

GSSAPIServerIdentity
If set, specifies the GSSAPI server identity that ssh should expect when connecting to the
server. The default is unset, which means that the expected GSSAPI server identity will be
determined from the target hostname. Optional. Type uniline.

GSSAPIDelegateCredentials
Forward (delegate) credentials to the server. Note that this option applies to protocol
version 2 connections using GSSAPI. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GSSAPIRenewalForcesRekey
If set to "yes" then renewal of the client's GSSAPI credentials will force the rekeying of
the ssh connection. With a compatible server, this can delegate the renewed credentials to
a session on the server. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

GSSAPITrustDns
Set to "yes" to indicate that the DNS is trusted to securely canonicalize the name of the
host being connected to. If "no", the hostname entered on the command line will be passed
untouched to the GSSAPI library. This option only applies to protocol version 2
connections using GSSAPI. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

HashKnownHosts
Indicates that ssh(1) should hash host names and addresses when they are added to
~/.ssh/known_hosts. These hashed names may be used normally by ssh(1) and sshd(8), but
they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. Note
that existing names and addresses in known hosts files will not be converted
automatically, but may be manually hashed using ssh-keygen(1). Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

HostbasedAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with public key authentication. This
option applies to protocol version 2 only and is similar to RhostsRSAAuthentication.
Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

HostKeyAlgorithms
Specifies the protocol version 2 host key algorithms that the client wants to use in order
of preference. Optional. Type check_list. choice: 'ssh-rsa', 'ssh-dss'.

HostKeyAlias
Specifies an alias that should be used instead of the real host name when looking up or
saving the host key in the host key database files. This option is useful for tunneling
SSH connections or for multiple servers running on a single host. Optional. Type uniline.

HostName
Specifies the real host name to log into. This can be used to specify nicknames or
abbreviations for hosts. The default is the name given on the command line. Numeric IP
addresses are also permitted (both on the command line and in HostName specifications).
Optional. Type uniline.

IdentitiesOnly
Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication identity files configured in the
ssh_config files, even if ssh-agent(1) offers more identities. This option is intended for
situations where ssh-agent offers many different identities. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

IdentityFile
Specifies a file from which the user's RSA or DSA authentication identity is read. The
default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for
protocol version 2. Additionally, any identities represented by the authentication agent
will be used for authentication.

The file name may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home directory or one of the
following escape characters: '%d' (local user's home directory), '%u' (local user name),
'%l' (local host name), '%h' (remote host name) or '%r' (remote user name).

It is possible to have multiple identity files specified in con figuration files; all
these identities will be tried in sequence. Optional. Type list of uniline.

IPQoS - IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for the connection.
Specifies the IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for the connection. Accepted values are
"af11", "af12", "af13", "af21", "af22", "af23", "af31", "af32", "af33", "af41", "af42",
"af43", "cs0", "cs1", "cs2", "cs3", "cs4", "cs5", "cs6", "cs7", "ef", "lowdelay",
"throughput", "reliability", or a numeric value. This option may take one or two
arguments, separated by whitespace. If one argument is specified, it is used as the packet
class unconditionally. If two values are specified, the first is automatically selected
for interactive sessions and the second for non-interactive sessions. The default is
"lowdelay" for interactive sessions and "throughput" for non-interactive sessions.
Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :
lowdelay throughput

KbdInteractiveAuthentication
Specifies whether to use keyboard-interactive authentication. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

KbdInteractiveDevices
Specifies the list of methods to use in keyboard-interactive authentication. Multiple
method names must be comma-separated. The default is to use the server specified list. The
methods available vary depending on what the server supports. For an OpenSSH server, it
may be zero or more of: 'bsdauth', 'pam', and 'skey'. Optional. Type list of uniline.

KexAlgorithms
Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms. Optional. Type check_list. choice:
'ecdh-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp384', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521',
'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256', 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1',
'diffie-hellman-group14-sha1', 'diffie-hellman-group1-sha1'.

LocalForward - Local port forwarding
Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over the secure channel to the
specified host and port from the remote machine. The first argument must be
[bind_address:]port and the second argument must be host:hostport.

IPv6 addresses can be specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets or by using an
alternative syntax: [bind_address/]port and host/hostport.

Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional forwardings can be given on the
command line. Only the superuser can forward privileged ports.

By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However,
an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific address. The
bind_address of "localhost" indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only,
while an empty address or '*' indicates that the port should be available from all
interfaces.

Example:
LocalForward 20000 192.168.0.66:80 . Optional. Type list of node of class
Ssh::PortForward .

LogLevel
Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from ssh(1). The possible
values are: SILENT, QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.
The default is INFO. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify
higher levels of verbose output. Optional. Type enum. choice: 'SILENT', 'QUIET', 'FATAL',
'ERROR', 'INFO', 'VERBOSE', 'DEBUG', 'DEBUG1', 'DEBUG2', 'DEBUG3'.

upstream_default value :
INFO

MACs
Specifies the MAC (message authentication code) algorithms in order of preference. The MAC
algorithm is used in protocol version 2 for data integrity protection. Optional. Type
check_list. choice: 'hmac-md5', 'hmac-sha1', 'umac-64@openssh.com', 'hmac-ripemd160',
'hmac-sha1-96', 'hmac-md5-96'.

NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost
This option can be used if the home directory is shared across machines. In this case
localhost will refer to a different machine on each of the machines and the user will get
many warn ings about changed host keys. However, this option disables host authentication
for localhost. The default is to check the host key for localhost. Optional. Type
boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

NumberOfPasswordPrompts
Specifies the number of password prompts before giving up. Optional. Type integer.

upstream_default value :
3

PasswordAuthentication
Specifies whether to use password authentication. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

PermitLocalCommand
Allow local command execution via the LocalCommand option or using the !command escape
sequence in ssh(1). Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

LocalCommand
Specifies a command to execute on the local machine after successfully connecting to the
server. The command string extends to the end of the line, and is executed with the user's
shell. The following escape character substitutions will be performed: '%d' (local user's
home directory), '%h' (remote host name), '%l' (local host name), '%n' (host name as
provided on the command line), '%p' (remote port), '%r' (remote user name) or '%u' (local
user name). This directive is ignored unless PermitLocalCommand has been enabled.
Optional. Type uniline.

PKCS11Provider
Specifies which PKCS#11 provider to use. The argument to this keyword is the PKCS#11
shared library ssh(1) should use to communicate with a PKCS#11 token providing the user's
private RSA key. Optional. Type uniline.

Port
Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host. Optional. Type integer.

upstream_default value :
22

PreferredAuthentications
Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2 authentication methods.
This allows a client to prefer one method (e.g. keyboard-interactive) over another method
(e.g. password). Optional. Type check_list. choice: 'gssapi-with-mic', 'hostbased',
'publickey', 'keyboard-interactive', 'password'.

Protocol
Specifies the protocol versions ssh(1) should support in order of preference. The default
is "2,1". This means that ssh tries version 2 and falls back to version 1 if version 2 is
not available. Optional. Type check_list. choice: '2', '1'.

ProxyCommand
Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The command string extends to the
end of the line, and is executed with the user's shell. In the command string, '%h' will
be substi tuted by the host name to connect and '%p' by the port. The com mand can be
basically anything, and should read from its standard input and write to its standard
output. It should eventually connect an sshd(8) server running on some machine, or execute
sshd -i somewhere. Host key management will be done using the HostName of the host being
connected (defaulting to the name typed by the user). Setting the command to "none"
disables this option entirely. Note that CheckHostIP is not available for connects with a
proxy command.

This directive is useful in conjunction with nc(1) and its proxy support. For example, the
following directive would connect via an HTTP proxy at 192.0.2.0:

ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p. I< Optional. Type uniline. >

PubkeyAuthentication
Specifies whether to try public key authentication. This option applies to protocol
version 2 only. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

RekeyLimit
Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted before the session key is
renegotiated. The argument is the number of bytes, with an optional suffix of 'K', 'M',
or 'G' to indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The default is
between '1G' and '4G', depending on the cipher. This option applies to protocol version 2
only. Optional. Type uniline.

RemoteForward - remote port forward to local
Specifies that a TCP port on the remote machine be forwarded over the secure channel to
the specified host and port from the local machine. Multiple forwardings may be specified,
and additional forwardings can be given on the command line. Only the superuser can
forward privileged ports.

If the bind_address is not specified, the default is to only bind to loopback addresses.
If the bind_address is '*' or an empty string, then the forwarding is requested to listen
on all inter faces. Specifying a remote bind_address will only succeed if the server's
GatewayPorts option is enabled (see sshd_config(5)). Optional. Type list of node of class
Ssh::PortForward .

RequestTTY
Specifies whether to request a pseudo-tty for the session. This option mirrors the -t and
-T flags for "ssh". Optional. Type enum. choice: 'yes', 'no', 'force', 'auto'.

Here are some explanations on the possible values:

'auto'
request a TTY when opening a login session

'force'
always request a TTY

'no'
never request a TTY

'yes'
always request a TTY when standard input is a TTY

RhostsRSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with RSA host authentication. This
option applies to protocol version 1 only and requires ssh(1) to be setuid root.
Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

RSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try RSA authentication. RSA authentication will only be attempted if
the identity file exists, or an authentication agent is running. Note that this option
applies to protocol version 1 only. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

SendEnv
Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent to the server. Note that
environment passing is only supported for protocol 2. The server must also support it, and
the server must be configured to accept these environment variables. Refer to AcceptEnv in
sshd_config(5) for how to configure the server. Variables are specified by name, which may
contain wildcard char acters. Multiple environment variables may be separated by
whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv directives. The default is not to send any
environment variables.

See PATTERNS in ssh_config(5) for more information on patterns. Optional. Type list of
uniline.

ServerAliveCountMax
Sets the number of server alive messages (see below) which may be sent without ssh(1)
receiving any messages back from the server. If this threshold is reached while server
alive messages are being sent, ssh will disconnect from the server, terminating the
session. It is important to note that the use of server alive messages is very different
from TCPKeepAlive. The server alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and
there fore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by TCPKeepAlive is
spoofable. The server alive mechanism is valuable when the client or server depend on
knowing when a connec tion has become inactive.

The default value is 3. If, for example, ServerAliveInterval is set to 15 and
ServerAliveCountMax is left at the default, if the server becomes unresponsive, ssh will
disconnect after approximately 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol version 2
only; in protocol version 1 there is no mechanism to request a response from the server to
the server alive messages, so disconnection is the responsibility of the TCP stack.
Optional. Type integer.

upstream_default value :
3

ServerAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the
server, ssh(1) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response
from the server. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the
server, or 300 if the BatchMode option is set. This option applies to protocol version 2
only. ProtocolKeepAlives and SetupTimeOut are Debian-specific compatibility aliases for
this option. Optional. Type integer.

upstream_default value :
0

SmartcardDevice
Specifies which smartcard device to use. The argument to this keyword is the device
ssh(1) should use to communicate with a smartcard used for storing the user's private RSA
key. By default, no device is specified and smartcard support is not activated.
Optional. Type uniline.

StrictHostKeyChecking
If this flag is set to "yes", ssh(1) will never automatically add host keys to the
~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuses to connect to hosts whose host key has changed. This
provides maximum protection against trojan horse attacks, though it can be annoying when
the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file is poorly maintained or when connections to new hosts
are frequently made. This option forces the user to manually add all new hosts. If this
flag is set to "no", ssh will automatically add new host keys to the user known hosts
files. If this flag is set to "ask", new host keys will be added to the user known host
files only after the user has confirmed that is what they really want to do, and ssh will
refuse to connect to hosts whose host key has changed. The host keys of known hosts will
be verified automatically in all cases. The argument must be "yes", "no", or "ask". The
default is "ask". Optional. Type enum. choice: 'yes', 'no', 'ask'.

upstream_default value :
ask

TCPKeepAlive
Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the other side. If
they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one of the machines will be properly
noticed. This option only uses TCP keepalives (as opposed to using ssh level keepalives),
so takes a long time to notice when the connection dies. As such, you probably want the
ServerAliveInterval option as well. However, this means that connections will die if the
route is down temporarily, and some people find it annoying. The default is "yes" (to send
TCP keepalive messages), and the client will notice if the network goes down or the remote
host dies. This is important in scripts, and many users want it too.

To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to "no". Optional. Type
boolean.

upstream_default value :
1

Tunnel
Request tun(4) device forwarding between the client and the server. The argument must be
"yes", "point-to-point" (layer 3), "ethernet" (layer 2), or "no". Specifying "yes"
requests the default tunnel mode, which is "point-to-point". The default is "no".
Optional. Type enum. choice: 'yes', 'point-to-point', 'ethernet', 'no'.

upstream_default value :
no

TunnelDevice
Specifies the tun(4) devices to open on the client (local_tun) and the server
(remote_tun).

The argument must be local_tun[:remote_tun]. The devices may be specified by numerical ID or the keyword "any", which uses the next available tunnel device. If remote_tun is not specified, it defaults to "any". The default is "any:any". I< Optional. Type uniline. >

upstream_default value :
any:any

UseBlacklistedKeys
Specifies whether ssh(1) should use keys recorded in its blacklist of known-compromised
keys (see ssh-vulnkey(1)) for authentication. If "yes", then attempts to use compromised
keys for authentication will be logged but accepted. It is strongly recommended that this
be used only to install new authorized keys on the remote system, and even then only with
the utmost care. If "no", then attempts to use compromised keys for authentication will
be prevented. The default is "no". Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

UsePrivilegedPort
Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing connections. The argument must be
"yes" or "no". The default is "no". If set to "yes", ssh(1) must be setuid root. Note
that this option must be set to "yes" for RhostsRSAAuthentication with older servers.
Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

User
Specifies the user to log in as. This can be useful when a dif ferent user name is used
on different machines. This saves the trouble of having to remember to give the user name
on the command line. Optional. Type uniline.

UserKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use for the user host key database instead of ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
Optional. Type uniline.

VerifyHostKeyDNS
Specifies whether to verify the remote key using DNS and SSHFP resource records. If this
option is set to "yes", the client will implicitly trust keys that match a secure
fingerprint from DNS. Insecure fingerprints will be handled as if this option was set to
"ask". If this option is set to "ask", information on fingerprint match will be
displayed, but the user will still need to confirm new host keys according to the
StrictHostKeyChecking option. The argument must be "yes", "no", or "ask". The default is
"no". Note that this option applies to protocol version 2 only. See also VERIFYING HOST
KEYS in ssh(1). Optional. Type enum. choice: 'yes', 'no', 'ask'.

upstream_default value :
no

VisualHostKey
If this flag is set to "yes", an ASCII art representation of the remote host key
fingerprint is printed additionally to the hex fingerprint string. If this flag is set to
"no", only the hex fingerprint string will be printed. The default is "no". Optional.
Type boolean.

upstream_default value :
0

XAuthLocation
Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program. The default is /usr/bin/X11/xauth.
Optional. Type uniline.

FallBackToRsh
This parameter is now ignored by Ssh. Deprecated Optional. Type uniline.

IgnoreUnknown
Specifies a pattern-list of unknown options to be ignored if they are encountered in
configuration parsing. This may be used to suppress errors if ssh_config contains options
that are unrecognised by ssh(1). It is recommended that IgnoreUnknown be listed early in
the configuration file as it will not be applied to unknown options that appear before it.
Optional. Type uniline.
