SLNet Security

SLNet abides by all Windows security features. It does not alter nor change any security settings or privilege levels set by normal Windows mechanisms.

When a Telnet user logs into your system via SLNet, they must be a valid user that an administrator created using the Windows User Manager or User Manager for Domains. SLNet sets that user's process to run in the security context appropriate to that user. The user then has exactly the same privileges he would have on your machine if they sat down in front of it and logged into the console.

Specific login authentication

Adding flexibility to the use of SLNet RF, you can now decide to only allow specific authentication types (SLClient, NTLM or Clear text) to logon or you can decide to use different combinations (SLClient and Clear text or NTLM and clear text).

Logon by IP address

IP login adds to your security, allowing you to specify the IP address, user name and password for auto logon. SLNet RF allows you to set up an auto logon using a user account and IP address for authentication. With auto logon anybody connecting to SLNet will automatically be logged on without having to enter their user name or password and will be deposited in the shell specified in the configuration screen for your user.

NTLM Authentication

SLNet RF version 4 supports Microsoft’s NTLM Authentication method. When logging on with a client that supports NTLM such as Microsoft default or Net term, you are automatically authenticated with the user name and password you login on your desktop.

Connection Control:

• Only allow specific IP address or IP address range
• Only allow specific SLNet user accounts
• Run the Telnet service on a different port
• Maximum Connections Limit
• Multi-Line Banner Support: For User access warnings
• Maximum Logon Attempts
• Allow Users to wait for connection, or not
• Secure encrypted logon (our client only)

Customizable Prompts

Some hackers use programs to randomly search for open ports and for prompts like Logon. To avoid that, SLNet RF gives administrators the ability to customize the log-on and password prompts. For example, administrators can change the SLNet RF prompts, and use “Yes?” instead of Logon.
