Error: OSC 8 hyperlink encoding not supported in MindTerm SSH applet

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

When executing commands that return OSC 8 hyperlink-encoded text through the MindTerm SSH applet in Privileged Access Manager (PAM), the hyperlinks do not function or the command output may fail to render correctly. This issue does not occur when connecting directly via standard SSH clients like PuTTY.

Cause

The MindTerm SSH applet does not currently support text encoded in OSC 8. This is identified under defect DE666939 and is considered a product limitation/enhancement request.

Resolution

There is currently no fix for this limitation in the MindTerm SSH applet. To resolve this issue, use a TCP/UDP service (SSH Proxy) to connect to the target servers instead of the SSH applet.

Additional Information

To verify if an issue is related to OSC 8 support, run the following command in the terminal: printf '\e]8;;https://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\\n'

If the link does not render correctly, the terminal does not support OSC 8 encoding.
