Embedded SSH Session

Hi Russel,
The problem for now is that we use an external tool for that. We are now integrating the VPN system into RDM Mac and we have a step next to do the same with the embedded SSH tunnel.

By SSH do you mean SSH shell?

Hello David,

Thanks for the quick response :-).

Yep I mean ‘SSH Shell’. I want to be able to set it up as I do in my Windows environment with Password integration and have them all tabbed in the RDM application.

This is a little bit tricky. We need to integrate a tool with a GUI. We plan to do that soon. This is the next project that we want to assign to one of our software architect.

Hi,
We are about to release the iterm integrated in RDM. You should see it soon in a next RDM update.

Hi,

Version 1.1.12.0 of Remote Desktop Manager for Mac include an integrated version of iTerm.
You can download it here. http://mac.remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/Download

Give it a try and tell us what you think

I did test the Iterm on version 1.1.12.0 the embedded part is working fine but when I close the ssh session the tab remained open. Only option is to close the tab manually.

Hi,

I have made a fix for this and it should be available in the next release.

Thanks!

Richard

Hello, thanks for the updates with this.

I have tried to use the latest versions a couple of times with the embedded iTerm but I have an issue with it still.

I have configured a session and it is using the embedded iTerm to SSH into a remote machine. However the tabbed window gives me the following error:

'sh: /Applications/Remote Desktop Manager.app/Contents/Resources/sshpassword.ex: Permission denied'

and i get a dialog box with the following message:

'Short lived session warning

A session ended very soon after starting. Check that the command in the profile 'Default' is correct.'

Do you happen to know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Russell

Hi

Please can you let me know the permissions of the mentioned file? You can run the following command on Terminal:

ls -l "/Applications/Remote Desktop Manager.app/Contents/Resources/sshpassword.ex"

And let me know the output?

Thank you!

Richard

Hi Richard -

sshpassword.ex seems to be shipping without the execute flag as well as keeping the xattr com.apple.quarantine after being approved. I don't think the quarantine xattr is going to stop anything with they way you're executing the shell script, but the script not shipping as executable is preventing the password passthrough from working.

Hope this helps!

Richard,

The permissions on that file are:

-rw-r--r--@ 1 russells admin 233 13 Jan 17:05 /Applications/Remote Desktop Manager.app/Contents/Resources/sshpassword.ex

I have added the execute bit on the file and it all works. SO it is like @belthesar states, it is not being shipped with the correct permissions.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Russell
