* Tips & Tricks: Brief Introduction to SSH Tectia Connector
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With SSH Tectia Connector you can provide encryption and strong two-factor authentication to third-party network client applications. SSH Tectia Connector is aimed for corporate end users with little expertise in technical issues or security specifics. It provides an easy-to-use, secure connection client that requires very little or no configuration by the user, and operates transparently in the background. Most of the configuration settings are specified by the administrator. The administrator also defines what the user is allowed to do.
SSH Tectia Connector can be used to tunnel any standard TCP-based user applications. It can be used for example to secure connections from workstations to the department server room, or to connect securely to the office e-mail server and intranet from a remote location.
SSH Tectia Connector uses the Secure Shell version 2 protocol to connect to an IETF-draft-compliant Secure Shell version 2 server. It uses the tunneling functionality on the server to carry the specified TCP/IP communication over the SecSh v2 protocol.
