Disabling SSH Module

Post by bomahony »

Is there a way to disable the SSH module from the Admin page [actually just realised any user can get this page without logging in!]?

I am trying to request access to the web interface from inside a restricted environment but this, while probably a great tool most of the time, would be a show stopper as it would allow a malicious actor a vector for access the machine.

Hello @bomahony,

The SSH terminal feature uses shellinbox and you can disable this on your server if you'd like.

Please see this post:

Let me know if you have any questions.

A nice feature would be to enable this for specific users though :P

We''re adding the ability to turn this off, I don't have an ETA right now, but it's in the queue.

Appreciate the input. Let me know if you need any other assistance or if it's ok to close this thread.

Cheers,
Ben
