Issue:
Can I have a single login for all serial ports when connected under Easyport web using SSH

Solution:
Some customers have complained that they have to login to each serial port they connect to under Easyport web using SSH. The process is a hassle and time consuming as the user goes back to the easyport web menu each time to select a different port. There is a way however for EasyPort web users to connect to all authorized ports once they have opened up the first SSH session. This can accomplished by using the "menu" hotkey feature inside the SSH java window. Example: An EasyPort Web user first logs into the IOLAN so that the ports they are authorized to use appears. Then connect to any SSH port. The SSH java client is downloaded by the IOLAN to the user PC which presents an SSH/telnet window and login prompt. Login to SSH ( required by the local java app on the PC for encryption purposes ). Once logged into SSH, a secure tunnel is then in effect between the user and the IOLAN. If the user then wishes to connect to a different port, a "~menu" hotkey is typed in on the same SSH window . The IOLAN sees this hotkey sequence and presents the user with a list of the ports that they can connect to ( just like the easyport menu,..see below ). So once they get by the first double login ( once to the IOLAN and then SSH for encryption), they can then connect to as many ports as they like without having to login to each port. At least one port needs to be configured as ssh if you need a secure SSH tunnel ( other ports can be telnet or SSH )
