TeraTerm Install Notes

Important Notice

Since TTSSH contains crypto code, there's some implications for use, including patent restrictions for U.S. residents. An RSAREF implementation of LIBEAY32.DLL needs to be used by U.S residents. This data can not be legally exported out of the United States/Canada.

Observations

TeraTerm supports unattended install options! Yes, thank you!
SSH extensions are just copied into installed directory
Run ttssh.exe to get ssh extensions active
Need to preset some config data, incorporate into install routine. This will predefine some settings for telnet sites
TeraTerm install command should be: setup /S /LE

Set up of unattended install distribution point

Create a teraterm directory (unattend/teraterm)
Unzip ttermp23.zip file into above directory
Create a ttssh directory (unattend/ttssh)
Unzip ttssh13.zip into above directory
Replace libeay32.dll with U.S. legal RSAREF libeay32.dll file (see above links)
Read RSAREF info link above and comply with licensing regs for RSAREF use
Copy a good ssh_known_hosts file to unattend/ttssh directory
(/etc/ssh_known_hosts is a good place to look)
Create teraterm.ini file
1. Install a test installation
2. Edit teraterm.ini file, change Telnet=on to Telnet=off
  (Fixes a bug with CR-NULLs in some ssh sessions)
3. Run TTSSH
4. Cancel initial connection dialog
5. In SETUP menu, do:
  - Terminal Setup: Check Term Size = Win Size, 80 x 30
  - TCP/IP Setup: Remove example hosts, add our own
6. Save setup as teraterm.ini, copy to teraterm distribution directory above
7. Edit teraterm.ini file, change transfer directory to F:\
Copy created teraterm.ini file to unattend/teraterm directory
Create shortcut icons for common host connects, park in unattend\teraterm
- hopi.lnk as c:\program files\teraterm\ttssh hopi.dtcc.edu:22 /ssh
- zuni.lnk (similar to above)
- apache.lnk
- outland (staff only).lnk as c:\program files\teraterm\ttssh outland.dtcc.edu
