Why root ssh access is required for hypervisors in RHEV3.X setup? Is it possible to disable root ssh login ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • ssh using root user is enabled by default on rhev/rhel host, Some corporate IT policies prohibit the usage of root ssh so is it possible to disable it?

  • Per the rhev installation documentation, Enabling ssh root login on RHEL Host is prerequisite. Are there any settings/setup which can bypass that ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.X
  • Red Hat Entrerprise Hypervisor 6.X
