Compatible Algorithms

Leave a Comment / Secure Shell Algorithms / By bpence

Compatible algorithms are chosen at connection time from the algorithm lists enabled and supported by both client and server. If you received the error message “No set of compatible algorithms could be found” while attempting to connect, the server and client could not agree, and that message may have brought you to THIS PAGE! Generally,

From time to time, crypto algorithms are deprecated for use in SSH. Absolute discourages use of deprecated algorithms are MAY in the future remove them. For maximum compatibility with older servers though, Absolute usually retains their functionality but notifies you that they’re being used. That notification for example may have brought you to THIS PAGE!

Through the new scripting features of AbsoluteTelnet/SSH, users can now enable automatic session logging with this script. The script uses two AbsoluteTelnet/SSH functions. It uses Terminal.GetHostname to get the hostname which it uses to construct the logfile name, and Terminal.OpenLog to actually open the log. The rest is pure VBScript to get the date and time and to create

This script could go in the login script location in Options->Properties->Scripts section if this script is specific to the session file you currently have open. It could also go in Options->Properties->Global as the global login

AbsoluteTelnet – SSH Port Forwarding

Leave a Comment / SSH Client, Tutorials / By Chip

SSH provides a feature known as port forwarding (or tunneling) that allows you to securely tunnel data from other less secure applications through the SSH encrypted session. Connections can either be initiated locally and forwarded to a server on the remote network or can be initiated on the remote and forwarded to the local network.

AbsoluteTelnet – SmartCard and Token Authentication

Leave a Comment / SSH Client, Tutorials / By Chip

Public key authentication can provide more secure login than password authentication. With public-key authentication you generate a key pair to use to validate your identity instead of using a shared password that both you and the host know. The server is given your public key, and possession of the private key is enough to prove
