Comment on Making an SSH client the hard wayparent

Comments

This seems to really expand the scope of how keys are handled and authorized. It at least appears to be optional, however.

Or just use userify's public key distribution model (then you can stick with a simple and proven design that just automates the standard SSH design that's been around for decades)

Or just do it the old way, by hand: drop your teams' public keys on groups of remote servers, setup their sudo access, and you're done.

Or just use Ansible or Chef or Terraform, or any of those other server orchestration tools, too (just without the permission layer/bulk remote session kills/user deletes of Userify).

of course, if you really need an ssh terminal in a browser, then you have to go with one of these sorts of crazy things, and at least it's not using passwords!
