SSH vs LOGIN

dave broome_1 — Thu, 10 Oct 2002 12:26:20 GMT

We have been advised to remove login and rlogin from our HP servers and replace them with SSH. How do we configure a terminal emulator to automatically use SSH and not login? TE used on site are:
HOSTACCESS, TIGER TERM and POWERTERM.
We are able to login to a seperate server and then SSH to the application server but how do we connect directly from a client machine through SSH? Any help is gratefully received.

HP's implementation of SSH is available from http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=T1471AA HP-UX Secure Shell A.03.10.002

Documentation is available at http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/internet/index.html#HP-UX%20Secure%20Shell

Hi Dave
You need to use SSH client to connect to servers.

Hi Dave,

since I do not know any of youe TEb products personally, I cannot say wether they support SSH in addition to TELNET/RLOGIN.
So you may have to use another product!
What I do use myself is "OpenSSH" running in a "bash" window on my W2K laptop, and both tools are from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and are free (OpenSource). Works great for me...
My more Windows-oriented colleagues use "putty", which seems to be free (or not expensive), so maybe that's a replacement for your old TEs?

FWIW,
Wodisch

As someone else mentioned, PUTTY is a free winders program which I give to winders users. Remembers setups and connections, supports most TERM commands, and easy to use.
Other clients are availabie for all other Unices. I use openssh with Linux for most of my admin stuffs.

Shannon

Between your HP-UX servers (ie, ftp, telnet), just use OpenSSH which can be downloaded from HP's website: software.hp.com. For PC's, there are very few free clients (Putty is one but it SSH-1 only and SSH-2 is preferred)

Otherwise, you will not be able to use terminal emulators that do not have SSH support. The best emulator for HP-UX comes from WRQ and is called Reflection. The terminal emulator is Reflection for HP, and for Xwindows, use Reflection/X. Version 10 is the latest and supports OpenSSH.
