Advanced Node Details - adding SSH link

FormerMember over 16 years ago

I've been adding the links for running config and startup, telnet, etc - all work. I can't though get the SSH link to work. Since most of our equipment uses SSH and SSL, I'd like it to auto open SecureCRT the way the telnet link does. Any suggestions?

In this folder: C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Resources\2-1-NodeDetails
Edit this resource file: 01-AdvancedNodeDetails.Resource with the following lines - Telnet works but SSH doesn't.

    <tr>
    <td class="Property" width="10"> </td>
    <td class="PropertyHeader">Telnet</td>
    <td class="Property"> </td>
    <td class="Property"><a href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%></a> </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td class="Property" width="10"> </td>
    <td class="PropertyHeader">SSH</td>
    <td class="Property"> </td>
    <td class="Property"><a href="SSH://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">SSH://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%></a> </td>
    </tr>

From the "admin" screen, add the "User Defined Links" resource to the "Node Details" view.

Then customize the resource by adding a new SSH URL (SSH2:// for SSHv2 and SSH1:// for SSHv1)

Lastly, open SecureCRT and make sure you have browser integration enabled.

That should get you started

Another tid bit. Let's say you wanted links for rdp:// and dame:// (dameware) or you didn't want to have to upgrade to 5.5. Using this link from MS shows you how to register the protocol in URL handling and lauch the appropriate program.

Using these registry files you will not need to upgrade SecureCRT and can use Putty etc (as long as you edit the application string).

You don't have to upgrade to v5.5, It's just nicely built in to v5.5. You can use SecureCRT v5.1, or any version of SecureCRT really, by following the FAQ located here http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/faq/018.html

I've got SSH1 & SSH2 working with SecureCRT but telnet is not working. When I click on it I get a new IE window saying "The webpage cannot be displayed"
With SSH1 & 2 a SecureCRT window pops up and works. I checked my registry and telnet is set up like these as well. I even click on that option in SecureCRT's global settings and it doesn't work.

Wow. I haven't actually heard of anyone using Dameware since the 90s. Blast from (my) past. :)

Is there any possibility of re-uploading the broken screenshots?
Thanks!
