Raw Blame History

Although the STIG recommends disabling root logins via ssh, the default in this role is to allow it. The openstack-ansible deployment uses the root user by default at this time, but that may change later and allow for this configuration to be set.

To disallow root logins via ssh, simply adjust this configuration variable:

ssh_permit_root_login = 'no'

NOTE: The quotes around 'no' or 'yes' are very important. Ansible will treat no and yes as booleans by default and that will cause a True to land in your sshd configuration file. This will causes errors during sshd's startup.
