Openssh is a secure shell replacement for remsh/rsh/telnet. The normal login programs such as remsh/rsh/telnet are unsecure in that login information and passwords are transmitted unencrypted over the network which means anyone snooping can find out your logins and passwords! ssh is encrypted so secure. You can download from www.software.hp.com and see more documentation on it at www.ssh.com/products/ssh

Hi,

If you are concerned with security ssh (or openssh) for that matter is a must have for remote host sessions.

It supports confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation by allowing encrypted data to be transferred between client and server, allowing the client to authenticate the server, allowing the server to authenticate the client etc. User authentication can also be via public/private key pairs. It also supports integration with PKI and CAs.

It also allows you to perform tunnelling of other protocols (such as SMTP, POP3, HTTP etc) over SSH to encrypt the data transferred. Its VPN-like functionalities provide a cheap alternative to expensive VPN solutions, if you are not overly concerned with performance.

In fact, we have been using SSH tunnelling to encrypt Oracle traffic from the Net8 client to the Oracle database server and also from the OAS to the Oracle database server as well because ANO is not always supported.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

You can get the software from the Porting Centre. There are a number of posts of configuration etc.
