Quest OpenSSH offers secure, password-less remote login and encrypted file transfer services to VAS, ensuring a safe and reliable communication platform.
I recently had the chance to try out Quest OpenSSH, a software package that provides password-less, secure, encrypted remote login and file transfer services for Vintela Authentication Services (VAS). As a derivative of OpenSSH, an open-source implementation of the SSH protocol, Quest OpenSSH offers high-quality features and capabilities for users.
One of the main benefits of Quest OpenSSH is its default single sign-on for Quest customers using VAS or VMX. Users can be automatically and securely authenticated against Microsoft Active Directory using GSSAPI, providing peace of mind for security-conscious organizations.
In addition to its compatibility with other SSH tools, including Quest PuTTY, Quest OpenSSH also comes with integrated enhancements such as high-performance network support and TCPwrap access controls. Both the client, ssh, and the server, sshd, are included in the software packages, which are subject to open source licence conditions.
The latest release of Quest OpenSSH includes a number of updates and improvements, including fixing an X11 security issue, adding support for the Solaris NIS+ pam_dhkeys module, moving manual pages back into the main package, and improving PAM config file initialization. These updates further enhance the software's security and functionality, making it an excellent choice for organizations seeking a reliable and powerful SSH solution.
