ssh: allow setting allowed MAC algorithms for built-in server#6435
Conversation
golang's crypto module (used by gogs with its default MACs) defines hmac-sha1-96 that is considered weak by security scanning tools such as Tenable (https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/71049). This commit's app.ini drops hmac-sha1-96 given that it is the safer option. New configuration setting SSH_SERVER_MACS allows one to put hmac-sha1-96 back if necessary (unlikely).
