Hello,
Per my security rules, I have he requirement to disable the SSH Terminal feature from the Nagios XI web page. I am currently running Nagios XI v. 5.5.3. I found other posts for disabling the SSH terminal feature on older versions, but it does not apply to 5.5.3. Does anyone know of a way to disable it?

Thank you.

Hi @dhatha03

SSH Terminal Feature uses the shellinabox package, and I would suggest disabling the service on your server.

Run the following and then go to Nagios XI > Admin > SSH Terminal to verify the ssh terminal is unavailable.

Code: Select all

systemctl disable shellinaboxd.service
Please note, we currently don't have a configuration setting to turn this feature off, and you may need to repeat this procedure when performing software updates
