Trusted Service Providers

AbsoluteTelnet/SSH attempts to improve application stability and security by only using recognized and approved (trusted) network service providers.  Unrecognized and untrusted service providers can sometimes cause instability in an otherwise stable system.  If AbsoluteTelnet/SSH bypasses an un-trusted service provider in favor of a trusted one, you will receive a message during the connection process that looks something like this:

Skipped un-trusted service provider  <service provider name here> 

On occasion, this behavior can prevent successful connection, particularly when a system tries to enforce the usage of a  particular service provider that we do not recognize.  If you received the message above and you're having trouble connecting, try disabling this behavior by changing the 'allow untrusted service providers' to 'yes' in the Options->Properties->Global settings.
