Reflection for Secure IT, UNIX Client and Server

Reflection for Secure IT is a family of Secure Shell clients and servers for Windows and UNIX—all designed to protect data in motion. By replacing nonsecure Telnet and FTP with Reflection for Secure IT, administrators can safely transfer sensitive data, manage remote servers, and access corporate applications over encrypted connections.

VERSION 7.0 HIGHLIGHTS
UNIX CLIENT

  • Enhanced support for Kerberos through gssapi-keyex streamlines user account and credential administration by eliminating the need for host and user keys.
  • SSH connection reuse feature reduces authentication prompts to users running multiple SSH sessions at once.
  • Updated key generation utility enables faster creation of host and user keys.
  • Full range of documentation formats—PDF and HTML—provides quick answers to your
    configuration questions. 
  • Strict Mode support enforces proper access controls of users' private keys during public key authentication.

UNIX SERVER

  • Enhanced support for Kerberos through gssapi-keyex streamlines user account and credential administration by eliminating the need for host and user keys.
  • Dead and idle client detection restores valuable system resources consumed by active, but unused, server connections.
  • Full range of documentation formats—PDF and HTML—provides quick answers to your
    configuration questions.
  • Strict Mode support enforces proper access controls for users' ssh authentication and authorization data during public key authentication.
