Telnet Server

 

The Telnet server works optimally for most installations. It accepts logins from a variety of clients, including the Telnet clients shipped with Windows 2000,
Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows 98, as well as a variety of character mode terminal clients from virtually any operating system. In addition, it can be 
configured to meet specific site requirements such as improving security, simplifying logins, and supporting stream or console mode.

 

Authentication

 

The SFU Telnet server supports Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) for authentication of client logins. NTLM allows users to be automatically authenticated to
the Telnet server based on their Windows NT login. This makes using Telnet completely transparent to users, while ensuring that clear text passwords do not
pass over the network. However, NTLM must be supported on the client side of the login as well.

 

When users are logged in to a system that is using NTLM login, they are restricted to local drives on that system. If they need to map network resources, they
can do so by explicitly mapping with full credentials.

 

Administration

 

The Telnet server is administered using the SFU MMC snap-in or the tnadmin program.

 

The following options are available:

l

 

Authentication gives you the choice of NTLM or Username/Password.

¡

l

 

Sessions allows you to see data about the currently active sessions (such as user, domain, system, and logon date/time) and to either send a

message to the session or terminate it.

 

Services for UNIX MMC Console

 

SFU includes a single MMC for managing all of SFU. The MMC provides a cohesive management interface that allows you to administer all systems on the
network from any console. Further, since SFU supports the Windows management interface (WMI), management can be scripted from the command line.

 

You can access the MMC Console by selecting Computer Management under System Management on the Advanced Administration Menu. See "

Using the

PowerVault Advanced Administration Menu

" in the "NAS Manager" section of this guide.

 

ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6

 

SFU includes ActiveState's ActivePerl 5.6, a full-featured port of Perl 5.6 and Perl Script to Windows Powered operating systems. Among other improvements,
ActivePerl 5.6 includes support for fork() emulation at the interpreter level, improving the portability of scripts and modules. ActivePerl also provides full
support for the Windows Script Host, making ActivePerl an excellent tool for system administration tasks.
