---id: RHEL-07-040490 status: implemented tag: sshd ---

The Protocol configuration is set to 2 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sshd is restarted.

Deployers can opt out of this change by setting the following Ansible variable:

security_sshd_protocol: 2

Warning

There is no reason to enable any other protocol than SSHv2. SSHv1 has multiple vulnerabilities, and it is no longer widely used.
