NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® Welcome to a new year! This issue of "News You Can Use" is so full of technical advice that it might just "tip" over! Start off by taking control of display color in SecureCRT®. Then save time and shoe leather by learning how to install applications remotely with VShell®. And you can learn how to increase your system and network security with public-key authentication. Our featured forum post reminds you how to capitalize on startup options for opening multiple session tabs. ------------- -------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------ For some host applications, you need to modify the default color display, whether because the text colors are hard to see, background hues are too bright, or some other reason. To protect against sore eyes, our Support staff wrote a new web tip on emulation display color in SecureCRT. This tip not only reviews color scheme settings, it also discusses how to use ANSI color settings to customize emulation display. Best of all, a Q&A section helps you apply color settings to a variety of common situations such as defining a new default color scheme for all sessions, or trouble-shooting applications that don't display in color. To read more about configuring color settings in SecureCRT, visit the online tip on the support section of the VanDyke Software website. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A second new tip outlines how to install or update software on remote machines that run the VanDyke Software VShell server. Remote installation can save you the time and effort of physically going to each machine, and allow you to automate software installations and updates. Examples are given for the SecureCRT client and a Flash Player update. Learn more about remote installation with VShell today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our third technical treatise this month gives an overview of public-key authentication for users of SecureCRT and SecureFX®. It explains how to generate and upload keys to the Secure Shell server, and how to configure SecureCRT and SecureFX clients: information you can use to increase your authentication security. The complete overview of public-key authentication may be found on the VanDyke Software website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revisiting an older thread on how to open multiple SecureCRT tabs at startup, forum member emailsbecker recently asked how to open multiple sessions after connecting to one or more network "bastion" servers (a hardened system that protects the rest of the network). Mike from VanDyke Software Support points out that as of SecureCRT 6.1, the auto session capability extends to multiple sessions. He also mentions using SecureCRT as a SOCKS proxy, which allows successive sessions to connect through the proxy to the destination.
