The release is designed as a drop-in replacement for version 2.6. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new features were added in Teleport 2.7? Teleport 2.7 adds secure copy (SCP) file upload and download support directly in the web-based terminal, new configuration options for enforcing idle SSH connection timeouts and disconnecting clients on certificate expiration (for PCI-DSS, SOC2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance), and performance optimizations for large clusters with many thousands of nodes. _daily.dev helps infrastructure teams track SSH access tooling releases like this one._ ### How do I configure idle SSH connection timeouts in Teleport? Idle SSH timeouts are set in /etc/teleport.yaml under auth_service using the client_idle_timeout setting, which accepts values like 30m, 1h, or 1h30m and defaults to never. A related setting, disconnect_expired_cert, forcefully disconnects clients when their certificates expire mid-session and defaults to no. These settings were introduced in Teleport 2.7 to support PCI-DSS, SOC2, and HIPAA compliance without recompiling from source. _Teams hardening SSH access for compliance can follow config changes like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenSSH 10.3 released](https://daily.dev/posts/openssh-10-3-released-krgsb6m3v) · LWN.net · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#devops](https://daily.dev/tags/devops), [#compliance](https://daily.dev/tags/compliance), [#ssh](https://daily.dev/tags/ssh) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-7-release-announcement-vigbcpsiq) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Teleport 2.7 Release Announcement","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-7-release-announcement-vigbcpsiq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-7-release-announcement-vigbcpsiq"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:22:07.574Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:44:41.840Z","description":"Teleport 2.7 adds secure copy (SCP) file transfer support to its web-based terminal, new configuration options for enforcing idle SSH connection policies to...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--0_ODbtD2--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2008","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--0_ODbtD2--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2008","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Teleport","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Teleport","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Dw-Bbw6O--/c_limit,w_256/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487494/logos/teleport?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/teleport"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-7-release-announcement-vigbcpsiq","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"devops,compliance,ssh","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Teleport","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/teleport"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Teleport 2.7 Release Announcement"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-7-release-announcement-vigbcpsiq#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What new features were added in Teleport 2.7?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Teleport 2.7 adds secure copy (SCP) file upload and download support directly in the web-based terminal, new configuration options for enforcing idle SSH connection timeouts and disconnecting clients on certificate expiration (for PCI-DSS, SOC2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance), and performance optimizations for large clusters with many thousands of nodes. daily.dev helps infrastructure teams track SSH access tooling releases like this one."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I configure idle SSH connection timeouts in Teleport?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Idle SSH timeouts are set in /etc/teleport.yaml under auth_service using the client_idle_timeout setting, which accepts values like 30m, 1h, or 1h30m and defaults to never.
