---id: RHEL-07-040310 status: implemented tag: sshd ---

The PermitRootLogin configuration is set to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and sshd is restarted.

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

security_sshd_permit_root_login: no

Warning

Ensure that a regular user account exists with a pathway to root access (preferably via sudo) before applying the security role. This configuration change disallows any direct logins with the root user.
