Command Connect / Guard - X11 statement

The access to an endpoint can be either SSH or Telnet.

Telnet does not have an automatic X11 forwarding mechanism.

SSH allows to forward an X11 environment to the endpoint.

In Command Guard X11 forwarding is disabled hard-coded. This is done for security reasons.
In Command Connect, the X11 policy on the client (See: /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the VISULOX Node) and the endpoint (See: /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the endpoint) are considered.

/etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_conf

CODE

ssh_config:		ForwardX11 yes
sshd_config:	X11Forwarding yes

This allows to open additional xterms in Command Connect. These xterms are not taken into account for Close, Arrange and Exit. They are independent.

To enable X11 forwarding in Command Connect it is also possible to use the -sshoptions -X parameter of the Command Connect application to use regular SSH commands.
