Configuration of ssh timeout

BeEf over 3 years ago

Hello,

where can I set the ssh timeout? Only found the setting for the webinterface?

Thanks in advance.

Some tools have a keep alive feature, to stay alive. (I am using MobaXterm).

Hi BeEf : Unfortunately as of now no UI or CLI settings to set the same and XG SSH timeout is hardcoded and set to 15 min. XG Firewall closes idle SSH sessions after 15 minutes. You may raise Feature request for same.

Its about security improvements. Having a SSH Session open for "decades" could eventually leak something.
Actually this disconnect can also save your business day to day business, if you handle with multiple session.
After some time to get disconnected could show you, "this is not the session, you are looking for".
