Configuration to Allow User Name/Password logon - SSH Server on Windows

Enable User Name/Password Logon on the GSW SSH Server on Windows

Enable or disable user name/password Logon
Users are allowed to use user name/password logon authentication.
Some environments may want to restrict this capability and not allow user name/password authentication.

This can be controlled by the registry key bEnableLogonPassword. The key is:

• For Win x64: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Georgia SoftWorks\GSW_SSHD\Parameters\bEnableLogonPassword
• For Win x86: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Georgia SoftWorks\GSW_SSHD\Parameters\bEnableLogonPassword

The default value is 0x01. (Allow user name/password logon). The value 0x00 disallows user name/password logon.

The following is the procedure to change the registry key for enabling or disabling user name/password logon.
1. Click the Start button at the bottom left corner of your screen
2. Click RUN
3. Type REGEDIT
4. Click OK
5. Select Registry Key:

• For Win x86: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Georgia SoftWorks\GSW_SSHD\Parameters\bEnableLogonPassword
