.msi package of UTS is available for administrators
using mass deployment tools such as GPO.
.msi files are suitable for creating customized deployment
configurations using Microsoft Orca and MSI transforms.
Microsoft Pseduoconsole support
Pseudoconsole support is a very powerful feature and brings
many of the capabilities presented by Microsoft in so called
Windows Terminal to SSH and Telnet. Microsoft is very enthusiastic
about Windows Terminal (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal)
but at the time of this writing we have to treat our
Pseudoconsole support as experimental for reasons explained in
user manual.
Global and Per User
GUI Configuration (Global)
Sets registry key: EnablePseudoconsole 1=enabled, 0=disabled
Default: Disabled 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GS_Tnet\Parameters
Environment variable (Per User, overrides global setting)
gwtn_enable_pseudoconsole, Y=enable, N=disabled
Send screen size to 3rd party client
GSW UTS sends screen size to 3rd party clients. Supported by modern
terminal emulation clients such as GSW ConnectBot and Putty
SSH Server would not use the default UTS domain specified by 3rd party
clients. This value is under UTS but SSH Shield needs to use it to
provide the same behavvior as for telnet.
New environment variable added that contains the installation path
of the UTS.
gwtn_install_path - installation path of the UTS
Added support for Windows Server 2016 and 2019 core.
Windows core limitation:
There is no support for HTML rendering or HTML help in Server Core
editions and consequently GSW graphical UTS Configuration Utility
descriptions are not rendered.
Added Mouse support for third party clients (8.09.0003)
Compatible with "XTERM-style mouse reports". This includes PuTTY
and GSW ConnectBot.
Defect Resolutions:
Function key F5 would not work with Wavelink client. Problem
introduced in v8.09.0003
