Ftp Dialogue with User Authentication

The login dialogue for user-authenticated ftp differs similarly. (The following example uses the same authorization rule shown above.)

Note the differences between this example and the standard ftp connection dialogue, as well as the differences between this dialogue and the standard Eagle ftp dialogue.

  1. The user specifies the Eagle Gateway as the destination host, not the true destination host
  2. The Eagle Gateway prompts for the true destination hostname and username, in the format username@hostname
  3. The user also appends the Gateway username on the same line as the destination hostname and username (omission of this optional means the same username is to be used for both systems)
  4. The Eagle Gateway prompts for the user's password on the destination host.
  5. The Eagle Gateway prompts for the Gateway user's password

The Eagle will continue to screen commands until the user logs out.

When the connection to the destination host is closed, the service daemons will re-connect to gwcontrol to report that the connection is no longer there. Gwcontrol then removes that connection from the active list and updates the log.
