When connecting via SSH to a new system, TinyTERM asks the user to approve the host’s fingerprint. This dialog cannot be bypassed.

When using TinyTERM’s ActiveX control CenTE.ocx programatically, this dialog does not come up. If the host’s fingerprint is not already registered with TinyTERM, the connection fails silently. The only workaround is to connect to the host using TinyTERM to register the fingerprint first.

Century Software, Inc., has had a customer request that this dialog have an option to bypass it programatically. This would remove the need for manual connections to register the fingerprint.
