Telnet settings policies

Telnet settings policies define protocol-level settings. You can create multiple policies and choose the appropriate one for each Telnet connection.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/telnet/settings_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 settings policies.

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

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific policy.

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