Timbuktu Pro uses a flexible and comprehensive security scheme. You can specify many different levels of access for remote connections to your computer: you may allow all guests access to some services, while limiting other services to specific users that you define, and admitting other users on a case-by-case basis. Timbuktu Pro puts you in total control and you can even prevent remote users from connecting to your computer entirely.
Timbuktu also offers a wealth of security and ease-of-use options designed to make remote collaborating and communicating flexible, fast, and safe. From locating fellow users across the Internet to assisting users within your corporate network, Timbuktu is unrivaled in its supported features.
And full integration with NT-based security takes full advantage of the systems you already have in place.
Multiple Access Mode technology supports all Internet, local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), dial-up, and direct dial connections. |

System Authentication.
Leveraging the security of the OS X platform, Timbuktu users can now authenticate using OS X usernames and passwords.
Reverse Connection Support.
This allows you to drag and drop files directly from the screensharing window to your own desktop, without opening a new connection, even if you're connected through a NAT router or firewall.
Push Installation.
You may now push install Timbuktu Pro onto computers you administer which have enabled Remote Login. This process will also upgrade Timbuktu Pro on computers that are running a Timbuktu Pro version older than the version on your computer.
Remote Configuration Options.
Using the push-install feature you can distribute Zones files, Timbuktu Pro preferences, site keys, and activation keys.
Rendezvous Integration.
Timbuktu Pro version 8.8.3 supports Rendezvous - Apple's zero-configuration networking technology. It's one more way to easily find and connect to other users!
Plus, Rendezvous can assist you with finding computers for push installation, by displaying all computers with remote login enabled, even if they do not yet have Timbuktu Pro installed.
Ask for Permission Enhancements.
Add another layer of access control by requiring your Registered Users to ask for permission before each connection. You will be able to allow or deny the incoming connection before it occurs.
Exchange Permission Enhancements.
Exchange service permissions have been improved. When remote users establish system authenticated connections to your computer, they will be granted the same file-system access privileges that are assigned to the Mac OS X user profile with which they logged in..
Note: In order to use Exchange to transfer files from your computer, or to drag-and-drop files during a Control session, the remote user must have access privileges for those files. |
