Targeting an application

For each system or application that Bravura Security Fabric will target using agttelnet , add a target (Manage the system >Resources >Target systems):

  • Type is Telnet target system.

  • Address uses options described in the table below.

  • Enter the account ID and password of the target system administrator you configured in Configuring a target system administrator . If the target system does not require administrative credentials, set the Administrator ID and Password to a non-empty value.

    Table 1. Telnet target address configuration

The address is entered in the syntax:

<script>[/{server=<name|IP>;port=<N>;SSL=true|false;terminal=<ANSI/VT100|IBM3270|IBM5250>;timeout=<N>;writeoption=<option>;CApath=<directory>;CAfile=<filepath>;checkCert=<true|false>;}]

Note

You can extend the address wizard by adding address line elements using the addressattrs function, as explained in PSLang Scripts for agtdos, agttelnet, and agtssh . This is useful when creating a scripted target system with a scripted platform definition file.
