In The Royal Server Configuration Tool Navigation Bar, click on the Secure Gateway group and then on the Security Configuration entry.

Note

Any change in this panel requires a restart of Royal Server.

General

Only allow Royal TS/X as clients

This setting only allows Royal TS (for Windows) and Royal TSX (for OS X) as clients of the Secure Gateway.

Block IPs after unsuccessful login attempts

SSH brute-force attacks repeatedly attempt to log in with the same user to guess the password, which can be resource-intensive. This setting helps mitigate such attacks by blocking the IP after a configured number of failed login attempts, preventing excessive load on the server.

Option	Description
Blocking time (in minutes)	Defines the duration for which an IP is blocked after exceeding the allowed number of failed login attempts..
Number of attempts	Specifies the number of failed login attempts that trigger an IP block for the configured duration..
Time frame (in minutes)	Failed login attempts within the specified time frame are considered relevant.
