When using TN3270 emulation in TinyTERM Plus 4.7.4, some SSL connections will fail. This is tied to the addition of the LU name to the TinyTERM status bar. Earlier versions of TinyTERM Plus do not have this but.

CR 1080

Century Software, Inc., has received a request to add an option certificate-based authentication to SSL connections in TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iPad.

CR 1037

When making an SSL connection with TN3270 emulation, the status line at the bottom of the TinyTERM window shows the message, “Connected = no connection.” This is cosmetic. The connection works normally.

CR 949, fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.7.0

The SSL/TLS connection type was added for TN3270 and TN5250 emulations in TinyTERM Plus 4.41. RSA key authentication was added to that in TinyTERM Plus 4.42.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make SSL connectivity available for all terminal emulations. This has not been implemented thus far.

In TinyTERM version 4.x for Windows, you can have multiple IP addresses or telephone numbers in one .tpx file. For each phone number or address you want to use, open the Session Properties and enter it in the “Host name, IP address or phone number” line. Click OK, then save the session. Repeat this until you have entered them all. Make sure “Establish connection on open” is not checked.

To choose from the listed numbers, open the Session Properties. The “Host name, IP address or phone number” line will be a drop-down list, showing your multiple addresses and phone numbers. Select the one you want, then click OK. Connect as usual.

Any network connection requires a TCP port be open and available on the server. There is an excellent list of common TCP ports at www.iss.net.

If you are using a non-standard port in TERM, you can specify the correct port by adding to the address, after a colon. For example:

term -l telnet:192.168.0.1:1023

will cause TERM to use telnet to connect to port 1023, rather than using the default port of 23. TinyTERM for DOS can also be configured this way.

In TinyTERM for Windows, you will need to go into the advanced setup for the telnet, SSH or SSL/TLS protocol. That dialog box will include a port number that can be edited.

At this writing, no file transfer protocol has this capability. This includes FTP in the emulator, as well as the protocols available in the Century FTP Client or SecureFT. The NFS client and server likewise cannot be changed.
