New in SecureCRT

  New in SecureCRT 6.2

The major new features for SecureCRT 6.2 are:

New session management options

·   Edit multiple sessions at the same time: The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.

·   Remember and connect to sessions from last use: A new option remembers which sessions were open the last time SecureCRT ran and connects them automatically.

Logging enhancements

·   Rotate SecureCRT log files nightly: There is an option to create a new log file at midnight -- you set a variable in the log file name to write log output to a new file daily.

·   Use parameter substitutions in log file paths: If a log file path does not already exist, it will be created automatically.

·   Specify different log files for the same session: A new command-line parameter, /LOG, allows a log file to be specified on the command line.

Improved memory usage

·   Increase your scrollback without increasing memory use: The scrollback buffer memory is now allocated dynamically significantly reducing the amount of memory SecureCRT uses.

SSH2-related enhancements

·   Use a smart card to authenticate: Support for PKCS#11 simplifies smart-card authentication.

·   Manage your keys: Agent support in the Activator allows keys to be explicitly added and removed.

New installer option

·   64-bit Windows support: A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms.
