It allows users to connect to remote sites without having to remember +or even know the password or key of the remote sites. There are 2 possible scenarios which could possibly interest you. + + Scenario 1: Team mode +If you're in charge of a lot of remote sites, and your company has several administrators to do some remote administration tasks, +then no user will ever need to know the password or key of the servers he administrates. When an employee quits your company, +you just have to delete his entry in the proxy database, and he will never be able to connect to the remote site. + + Scenario 2: Forwarding mode +You want to allow some people to connect through your firewall to a range of server inside your DMZ or LAN, but you don't want to +open one port for each server. What you can do is open the sshproxy port and setup the password database to proxy each +external user to it's own desktop, or create groups of users allowed to connect to your DMZ servers. +</longdescription> +<use> + <flag name='client-only'>Install only the client wrappers</flag> +</use> +</pkgmetadata> |
