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:
For example: "actions": { "audit": true, "four_eyes": true, "content_policy": { "key": "433849548566ab327522e6" "meta": { "href": "/api/configuration/policies/content_policies/44287216854f482e7f2b24" } }, } |
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.
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/telnet/authentication_policies
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 details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API. Note that 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). |
