Telnet channels

The available Telnet channel types and their functionalities are described below.

Channel Special options Description
telnet Yes

telnet: Enables access to the server's terminal. This channel must be enabled for Telnet to work.

Channel-specific actions:

  • content_policy reference: The ID of the Content policy to apply to the connection.

For example:

"actions": {
  "audit": true,
  "four_eyes": true,
  "content_policy": {
    "key": "433849548566ab327522e6"
    "meta": {
      "href": "/api/configuration/policies/content_policies/44287216854f482e7f2b24"
    }
  },
}

Telnet authentication policies

Lists the configured authentication methods that can be used in a connection. Each connection policy uses an authentication policy to determine how the client can authenticate on the SPS gateway.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/telnet/authentication_policies
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists Telnet authentication policies.

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/telnet/authentication_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/telnet/authentication_policies<object-id>
