Is native telnet SSL/TLS aware ?

[INCS Dept.]

Hi,

Currently we have to use telnet instead of ssh (the application needs it), but we want to secure it. We came across stunnel and tried to configure a secure tunnel using stunnel and native telnet. Up until now it isn't running. My question: is native telnet SSL/TLS aware on HP-ux 11.x ?

Bye,

Hey;

No, it's not. I'm not aware of any telnet implementation that's SSL/TLS aware...

Hi,

The default telnet works on port 23 and it is not aware of ssl.

You can get one from here,

check this project,

http://www.fifi.org/doc/telnet-ssl/

It is supported with telnet. I am not sure with hp-ux operating system.

Hello, Native Telnet in HP-UX is not SSL/TLS aware. Stunnel is the best alternate avaiable as of now. What is the error you got while configuring Stunnel and Telnet ?

May you can close the service access using /var/adm/inetd.sec file to others except localhost?

Others can not access your machine with telnet service. Or else use tcp wrappers to achive this.
