Specifying a Domain Name

When you are using a client A computer or application that uses services provided by a server. to log onto VShell, you may want or need to specify a domain name. VShell supports the following command formats for specifying a domain name or machine name with the username:

     domain name\username - This format is recommended for access from a command line SSH2 The second version of the SSH protocol which provides a way to encrypt network traffic between a client and a server, with a slightly different set of security features than the SSH1protocol provides. client

     machine name\username

      username@machine name

Specifying a domain name is useful if you have accounts on the local machine and on the domain with the same username and possibly the same password. If the client does not specify a domain as part of the username and accounts with the same username exist on both the local machine and the domain, the local machine account will be used.
