12.1 Subconfiguration Overview

Using subconfigurations, you can apply settings to particular client hosts, users, and/or groups. Subconfiguration information is saved in the server configuration file The default configuration file location is: C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\RSecureServer\rsshd_config.xml .

The server uses the following logic to apply subconfiguration settings.

  1. Global settings apply to any client user who does not match a configured subconfiguration.

  2. Host-specific settings override global settings.

  3. Group-specific settings override host and global settings.

  4. User-specific settings override host, group, and global settings.

When you configure subconfigurations, you'll see these items in the server panels:

Reload inherited settings

Removes subconfiguration-specific values from all settings on this pane. All settings values revert to their current inherited state.

NOTE:This change is not finalized until you save your configuration using File > Save.

(blue asterisk) Setting is no longer inherited

An asterisk indicates that the value of a setting is specific to the current subconfiguration. The server always applies the specified value, regardless of any subsequent changes you make to global or inherited settings.
