Hi team,

A quick query, in the sshd allowed setting might include MaxStartups (below link is the definition), would like to see if this is available in Fortress config?
If yes, then how to set up such?

Hello,

We do not have the exact configuration option, but you can use the Idle Session Timeout value under the Default user configuration to close any session that has not authenticated. Each session that connects is not counted toward the Maximum Connections count until authenticated to prevent a Denial of Service attack.
