SSH tunnel setup

Sometimes it is not possible to communicate with an Infoman or server directly (e. g. for security reasons). In this case, you can create a SSH tunnel.
Currently you can setup SSH tunnels for individual Infoman and for servers. To do this you need to open the Properties window of the desired destination (Infoman or Server). You'll find the entry SSH Tunnel, click on the ellipsis button to open the tunnel configuration.
The table contains all tunnel segments that are passed before an action is really executed on a device. The segments will be passed in the same order as they appear in this table (starting from top).

Example

Assume you are using the IDM and want to reach a server named proveo EFM 4 which has the IP address 10.38.1.26

Due to security restrictions this server cannot be reached directly by it's IP. However, the server named Segment B can communicate with proveo EFM 4 and Segment B can communicate with the server Segment A. Fortunately Segment A is accessible from outside this network and all servers support SSH-connections.
Since you've already added proveo EFM to your server list, all you need to do now is to add the other servers to the tunnel configuration like this:

Note that Segment B comes afters Segment A. The order in which the tunnel entries appear is important!
Once you've confirmed the configuration you can perform all possible tasks with Infomans and Servers alike. Be aware however that you must authorize yourself on each segment with a password.
Viable user names and passwords must be known to you. While you must enter the user name in the tunnel configuration, the password is only required once you actually connect to the device over a SSH-tunnel.
Also note that the default port for SSH connections is 22. If the tunnel segment you want to use has a different port, enter it in the corresponding column.

Further controls

• It's possible to rearrange the order in which the tunnel segments are connnected by Drag & Drop.
• Click on an entry with the mouse and use the "-"-button to delete it from the table. If no entry is selected, the button removes the last entry in the table.
• The + button adds a new entry. All newly created entries are invalid. You must provide the username and the hostname before you can confirm your configuration. To create a valid entry use this format username@host.
