Access Control Settings

The table below provides an overview of server settings you can use to control client access to the server.

By default, all client users with an account on the server host can connect to the server, open a terminal session, and access all local files and directories allowed for their user account from any client computer. You can edit the server configuration file (/opt/microfocus/rsit/etc/sshd2_config) to customize access for client users, groups, and computers.
