Managing remote servers through the Serial Session Viewer 152
Logging session properties
The Logging tab enables or disables automatic logging during the next server session. For more
information, see "Using logging (on page 156)."
Using login scripts
The Serial Session Viewer has a login script function that enables you to automatically log in to a server.
A login script contains a sequence of Expect and Send strings and initial transmission characters that
work with them. The definition of a login script can also contain the strings that indicate a successful and
a failed login.
To use a login script, you must enable Automatic Login in Session Properties dialog box (the default
value is enabled) of the server.
The HP IP Console Viewer contains a default login script for supported console switches. When a Serial
Session Viewer telnet session is initiated to a supported unit, the default login script is run automatically. If
the login is successful (that is, the string defined to indicate success is received), the session continues. If
the login is not successful (that is, the string defined to indicate failure is received), the user is prompted
for login credentials.
You can use the default login script, customize the default login script or create an entirely different login
script. If you customize the default login script and later decide to return to the original, you can easily
restore the default script content.
