SSH/5/SSH_INSECURE_LOGIN

Message

SSH/5/SSH_INSECURE_LOGIN: SSH server login is insecure. (ServiceType=[ServiceType], UserName=[UserName], IPAddress=[IPAddress], VPNInstanceName=[VPNInstanceName], Reason=[Reason])

In VS mode, this log is supported only by the admin VS.

Description

SSH server login is successful with insecure algorithm or smaller key length.

Parameters

Parameter Name Parameter Meaning

ServiceType

Indicates the service type.

UserName

Indicates the user name.

IPAddress

Indicates IP address of the client.

VPNInstanceName

Indicates the name of the VPN instance.

Reason

Possible causes of insecure login are as follows:

-SSH·server·connection·is·established·with·one·of·the·following·insecure·cipher·algorithms:·des_cbc,·3des_cbc,·arcfour128,·arcfour256,·aes128_cbc,·aes192_cbc,·aes256_cbc,·md5,·md5_96,·sha1,·sha1_96·and·sha2_256_96.

-SSH·server·connection·is·established·with·one·of·the·following·insecure·HMAC·algorithms:·md5,·md5_96,·sha1,·sha1_96·and·sha2_256_96.

-Length·of·identity·key·(RSA,·DSA)·is·less·than·2048·bits

Possible Causes

Cause 1: SSH server connection is established with one of the following insecure cipher algorithms: des_cbc, 3des_cbc, arcfour128, arcfour256, aes128_cbc, aes192_cbc, aes256_cbc, md5, md5_96, sha1, sha1_96 and sha2_256_96.

Cause 2: SSH server connection is established with one of the following insecure HMAC algorithms: md5, md5_96, sha1, sha1_96 and sha2_256_96.

Cause 3: Length of identity key (RSA, DSA) is less than 2048 bits.

Procedure

Cause 1: Use secure cipher algorithm to establish the connection like aes128_ctr and aes256_ctr.

Cause 2: Use secure HMAC algorithm to establish the connection like sha2_256.

Cause 3: Configure identity key (RSA, DSA) with length 2048 bits.
