Re: [Xen-users] Web Console Access
Hi Jonathan,
do you definitely need a web console (so really browser-based) or would
you consider a SSH-based console?
I personally prefer SSH because it is more secure, easier to set up and
it is somehow the default way of accessing remote consoles. You can do
a modified SSH setup that only allows access to the console, or
optionally, access to xm console, xm list, xm shutdown, xm create but
restricted to the own VM of your customer. With chroot-jails etc.,
other commands cannot be executed.
SSH also has the advantage of good copy & paste of larger commands,
and the possibility to work with multiple client certificates and / or
passwords. Probably your administrative interface allows uploading of
multiple public keys, so that your customers can have multiple
adminsitrative accounts for the server (but only one can access the
console at a time).
I've got no experiences with ajaxterm, but you should really control
its security:
Console access is quite useful for hackers, e.g. some customer may
forget to log out root or if you use pvgrub / pygrub, a simple
init=/bin/bash added to the kernel command line allows resetting the
root password...
So it must be a really secure application, not vulnerable to XSS, SQL
Injections, Connection hijacking, ... and SSL encrypted.

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any idea on how to give my customers
a "web console" for their VMs?
Using http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/ I
can manually set up a remote session for them, by doing
ajaxterm.py -c xm console <DOMNAME>
However is there any way to make this automatic? Maybe I could put it in the vif script?
Thanks
