Change RCON access on an Operation: Harsh Doorstop server

Rcon Password, Rcon Max Auth Attempts and Rcon Max Connections control remote administration. Keep the password private and use the allocated RCON address rather than the game port.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and record the current remote-administration settings.
  2. Set a long, unique Rcon Password in Startup.
  3. Keep sensible authentication-attempt and connection limits instead of removing them to troubleshoot a wrong password.
  4. Start and update the stored credential in your authorized RCON tool.
  5. Test one administrator connection, then verify ordinary game access still works.

Check the result

If an admin tool cannot connect, check the assigned RCON endpoint and password first. Do not open a random new port or weaken the authentication controls as a first response.
