Hi,
How can I disable the SSH access to a Linux app service?
I know that the SSH access is configured mainly for debugging and diagnostic purposes, but I'd like to know how I can disable this for compliance purposes.
Thanks
Linux app services use blessed images from oryx. You can't adjust SSH on these images and there isn't a feature available that allows you to disable. What you can do, however, is use configure a custom container and in the base image, don't enable the ssh server to run or expose the 2222 port.
Hi @Ryan Hill many thanks for taking your time out to provide an answer. So it is possible to disable public access to the diagnostics SSH access and although this is not the same as the SSH access to the actual servers this is what I was referring to.
If it helps anyone else, the way to disable this is to go to the app service resource in question. -> Networking -> Access restriction -> Allow Public Access -> Advanced Tool Site (Kudu), and from here you can add your IP address or a list of IP's that this rule will make it so every IP that is not matching the IP in the Rule will be denied.
