TELNET Proxy

The SunScreen telnet proxy logon process takes place in two stages:

• First, you must telnet and log on to the Screen and be authenticated by the proxy

• Then, you can log on on to the target system and be authenticated in the usual manner.

For information on setting up the telnet proxt, see "PROXY_Telnet".

To Use the Telnet Proxy

The following these steps illustrate what a user logging into a system through the telnet proxy would experience. In this example, the proxy is running on a Screen named Screen and the user wants to connect to the system namned foo.com:

1. Type the following:

   % telnet Screen

   The following text appears:

   SunScreen Telnet Proxy Version: 3.1

2. Type the username at the prompt:

   Username@Hostname: username@foo.com

3. Type your password to authenticate you to this proxy:

   password:

   The password is not echoed. If you are successful, you will see the normal telnet connection information for the system foo.com, for example:

   % Trying 172.16.6.74... Connected to foo.com Escape character is `^]'. UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0 (foo.com) login:

4. Log in to the system as you normally would and, if required, type a password.
