SSH Access

You can enable or disable network access to your Secure Email Gateway using SSH (Secure Shell). If you enable SSH access, you must specify the IP addresses of machines that are allowed to access the Gateway using SSH.

 

You should only enable SSH access when directed by your support provider.

Enabling SSH access exposes protocols not typically required for day-to-day operation. To reduce the associated potential security risk, we advise that you do not leave SSH access enabled for long periods of time.

Configure SSH access

  1. Navigate to System > System Settings > SSH Access. The SSH Access page is displayed.

  2. In the Settings panel and click Click here to change these settings.

  3. Enable or disable SSH access:

    • To enable SSH access, select the check box and enter the IP addresses of machines that are allowed the access. You must specify at least one IP address.

        You can enter a range of IP addresses. For example, 10.44.46.76-80.

    • To disable SSH access, clear the check box.

  4. Click Save.

  5. Apply the configuration.

 

If you change any configuration or policy settings, you must Apply Configuration for the new settings to take effect. You can do this either from the Changes Made panel, or System > Configuration > Apply Configuration. See Apply new configuration for more information.

If you use Peer Gateways (i.e. when multiple Gateways are peered), any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time. See Configure Peer Gateways for more information.
