Oracle^® SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 Security Guide

Configure the Administrative Interface Inactivity Timeout (Secure Shell)

The storage server supports the ability to terminate administrative SSH sessions that have been inactive for more than a predefined number of seconds.

To define the administrative interface inactivity timeout for an SSH session, perform this procedure.

1. Log into the storage server as celladmin.

   See Log into the Storage Server OS.

2. View the current setting.

   # /opt/oracle.cellos/host_access_control idle-timeout --status | grep SSH
   

3. Define the administrative interface inactivity timeout for an SSH session.

   To comply with U.S. Department of Defense security requirements, specify a value of 900 (seconds). If necessary, replace that value with one that is compliant with local site policy.

   # /opt/oracle.cellos/host_access_control idle-timeout --client 900
   

4. To verify the setting, repeat Step 2.
