WARNING - Modifying the main.brs file is no longer advised on Brightsigns as of Jan. 24, 2026. Please reference this article moving forward: Configuring Custom Plugins for BrightSigns.

 

Description: By default, SSH is enabled on BrightSigns as part of the Appspace app package; this may need to be disabled for security reasons.

Applies to App: 2.x

Instructions: Manually edit the main.brs in the autorun.zip file.

File: sd/appspace/main.brs

Look for the section:

' telnet    registrySection.delete("telnet")    registrySection.write("ssh","22")    registrySection.flush()

 

Change this to:

' telnet    registrySection.delete("telnet")    registrySection.delete("ssh")    registrySection.flush()


Suggested deployment strategy: Make this change, then push the update via a device task.
