SSH configuration for Remote Desktop Manager's FIPS 140-2 compliance

Auf dieser Seite

For the Remote Desktop Manager SSH client to be compliant with the FIPS 140-2 annex A standard, you need to apply specific configuration changes in Remote Desktop Manager options.

To be compliant, you must ensure that non-compliant algorithms are disabled. To do this, you need to verify that the boxes that are NOT checked in the screenshots below are disabled in the client configuration.

We do not recommend using these settings unless you are in an environment that requires compliance with the FIPS 140-2. Most users should stick to the default settings of Remote Desktop Manager and enable additional cipher suites only if required by their servers.

These values originate from the Microsoft’s documentation FIPS140.2 annex A standard
