SSH Tectia Connector

SSH Tectia Client and Server solution Implementation Interoperability

SSH Communications Security has actively participated in the standardization of the Secure Shell protocol in the IETF. One of the driving forces behind our Secure Shell development has been and is to design products that adhere to the protocol standard to gain maximum interoperability with other vendors' implementations.

The progress and status of the ongoing standardization effort for the Secure Shell v2 protocol can be best followed at the Secure Shell (SecSH) working group page at
www.ietf.org/html.charters/secsh-charter.html.

PKI Interoperability
SSH Tectia Connector supports digital certificates for secure and scalable user authentication. Also, smart cards and other hardware tokens can be used for strong, two-factor authentication. By supporting the standard and commonly used cryptographic APIs, SSH Tectia Connector interoperates with a wide variety of third-party PKI products.

Smart Cards/Hardware Tokens:

• AET SafeSign with Giesecke & Devrient Card
• Aladdin eToken
• Gemsafe
• SafeNet iKey (formerly known as Rainbow iKey)
• Schlumberger
• Setec

Certification Authorities:

• Entrust Authority
• Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Certificate Authority
• RSA Keon
• SSH Certifier

RSA SecurID
The SSH Tectia client/server solution enables the use of RSA SecurID two-factor authentication instead of a memorized password when added security is needed. Please see Strong Two-Factor Authentication with RSA SecurID - Application Note for more information.

Secure Application Connectivity
To make sure SSH Tectia is easy to use in heterogeneous multi-application environments, SSH conducts regular in-house compatibility testing with a wide range of commercial application software. Tested application products include SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite, Lotus Notes, and common e-mail applications. Compatibility documents that provide guidance for setting up tunneling with different types of software are available in the SSH Resource Center. See SSH Resource Center for more information.
