Login
The configured Login Module is executed for the following Terminal Server connections:
- All Telnet connections
- Unauthenticated SSH and RLogin connections
This module is responsible for querying the user's login ID and initiating the login process.
The name of the login module (by default, login) is configured in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Login.
The default login module is exec/login.js and supports the following configuration options in the [login] section of the ctrl/modopts.ini file:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| email_passwords | true | Send forgotten passwords to users via email (SMTP) |
| confirm_email_address | true | Requires user to confirm their email address before sending a forgotten password |
| login_prompts | 10 | Maximum number of login prompts to display before disconnecting |
| inactive_hangup | 30 | Seconds of dumb-terminal (e.g. non-ANSI) user/bot inactivity before disconnecting |
| guest | true | Display the “or Guest” login suggestion when a “Guest” user account exists |
| legacy_prompts | false | Send legacy name/number/password prompts (NN: and PW:) followed by bare carriage returns, to support really old login scripts |
Customize
If you choose to use a customized or entirely different login module, it is recommended that you use a different module name (not “login”) and/or copy the login module to your mods directory before modifying.
