Registry Keys
Configuration options for PowerShell Server are stored in the Windows registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\nsoftware\PowerShell\Server\16. This registry key holds settings that are available for PowerShell Server globally. Additional registry keys are available for settings related directly to specific SSL Tunnels, SSH Reverse Tunnels, as well as various other settings.
The tree structure of these registry keys is described below:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\nsoftware\PowerShell\Server\16
The following values can be configured within the root HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\nsoftware\PowerShell\Server\16 registry key:
Name | Type | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
AdminCommandRegex | String | Regular Expression used to restrict the commands available to the SSH admin service.

allows for a user to be assigned a specific directory. The value should be a semicolon separate list of username and home directory pairs in the format:
DOMAIN\user1=C:\user1;DOMAIN\user2=C:\user2The user value must include the domain or machine name as appropriate (DOMAIN\user1 or MACHINE\user1). If the directory specified does not exist the user will be placed into the default SFTPRootDir,. If a user connects and no mapping is present for that user they will be placed into the default SFTPRootDir. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SFTPRootDir | String | The absolute path to the root directory for SFTP users. By default the "windir" environment variable
will be used to determine the root directory (typically "C:\").
The special value "$user" may be included in the path which will be resolved to the username of the authenticated user (without Domain or Machine information). When "$user" is included in the path if the directory does not exist it will be automatically created. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

During the SSH handshake, this list will be used to negotiate the encryption
algorithm to be used between the client and server. This list is used for both
directions: client to server and server to client. When negotiating algorithms,
each side sends a list of all algorithms it supports or allows. The algorithm
chosen for each direction is the first algorithm to appear in the sender's list
that the receiver supports, so it is important to list multiple algorithms in
preferential order. If no algorithm can be agreed upon, the component will raise
an error and the connection will be aborted. Valid values are:
aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr,aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,arcfour256,arcfour128,arcfour,cast128-cbc,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated. Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities. Note that when set here, and not in the tunnel specific registry keys (as described on the SSL Tunnels page), the value for this setting will be used for all tunnels. The tunnel specific settings may be used to override this value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note that when set here, and not in the tunnel specific registry keys (as described on the SSL Tunnels page), the value for this setting will be used for all tunnels. The tunnel specific settings may be used to override this value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLTunnelUseInternalSecurityAPI | DWORD | Indicates whether or not SSL Tunnels should use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.
By default, the tunnel will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to 1 (True) tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API. Note that this setting is static and will apply to all SSL Tunnels | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLTunnelProvider | String | The name of the security provider to use.
Change this setting to use security providers other than the system default. Use this setting with caution. Disabling SSL security or pointing to the wrong provider could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application. The special value "*" (default) picks the default SSL provider defined in the system. The special value "Internal" picks the internal SSL implementation. This does not rely on any system libraries. This is equivalent to setting SSLTunnelUseInternalSecurityAPI to True. Note that when set here, and not in the tunnel specific registry keys (as described on the SSL Tunnels page), the value for this setting will be used for all tunnels. The tunnel specific settings may be used to override this value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

interactive terminal offered by PowerShell Server (VT100, Dumb terminal).
This should be a string with the following format:
"<idstring>=vt100|dummy,<idstring>=vt100|dummy...".
For example, to map any client with a terminal identification string beginning with VT to the VT100+ emulation, you can configure this as:
"vt*=vt100"
Any id string not found here will always get the "dumb" terminal by default. The default configuration for this option is:
"vt*=vt100,xterm=vt100" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SvcLogFile | String | If present, the trace information generated by the server will be written to the specified file. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SyslogDaemonHost | String | When running as a Windows service the SSH process will send log messages to the UI process. These are the messages which are logged in the Service tab. By default this communication happens on the loopback adapter of the system. If you wish to send these log messages to a different host instead of the UI process you may set this to the hostname or IP address of the destination to which the Syslog messages will be sent. Syslog facility 23 is used to identify messages from PowerShell Server and filter out any other syslog traffic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SyslogDaemonPort | DWORD | When running as a Windows service the SSH process will send log messages to the UI process. These are the messages which are logged in the Service tab. By default this communication happens on the loopback adapter of the system on port 514. If this port is in use or you wish to use a different port you may specify this here. This specifies the port on which the UI process will listen for incoming log messages and also the port from which the log messages are sent from the SSH process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
