General Settings

 

Maximum Connections

Configure the maximum # of connections that Pragma Fortress will accept at one time. This change will not take affect until all sessions have been disconnected.

NOTE: This setting only applies to the Unlimited-Connection Version of Pragma Fortress; changing this value will not have an effect on the 2-Connection or Demo versions of Fortress.

Perform Network Drive Cleanup (Windows 2000 ONLY)

Check this box to have Pragma FortressSSH delete all drives mapped during a ssh session.

Pragma FortressSSH will by default disconnect any network drives that were created during the session. For example, suppose a user connects to the server and issues the following NET USE command:

NET USE X: \\SERVER\SHARE

This drive letter (X:) will be available to the user in his session, and also to anyone else connected to the server. When the user exits his session, FortressSSH will disconnect drive X:, since it was created in the session. Other network drives will not be affected.

In some situations, an administrator may want to remotely NET USE a drive from a ssh session, but then have that drive remain available for other users when he exits his session. This may be necessary for systems using NetWare connections. If all NetWare drive mappings are unmapped after a ssh session, change this option.

TIP: Mapped drives for multiple users is not supported by Windows. Some inconsistencies may appear for users. Drives may be listed as unavailable or not listed at all, even though a user can access it. Some drives may be listed as available, even though a user cannot access it. This is an issue with Windows.

Monitor Sessions

Check this box and turn on the “Allow Service to Interact with Desktop” option for the InetD Service, under the Windows Service Snap-In, to have a console window open for each active connection to the server. The windows will flash then minimize so they do not clutter the desktop.

Allow SSH1 Protocol

Check this box to use the SSH1 protocol which is enabled by default. However, the default protocol for FortressSSH server is still the SSH2 protocol. To turn off SSH1, simply uncheck the checkbox.
