Features

• Browser-Based Remote Shell Access - Provides a web-based terminal emulator allowing users to access remote server shells via HTTP or HTTPS.
• Web-Based Terminal Emulators - Provides a complete HTTP browser terminal emulator for executing shell commands on remote hosts.
• Browser-Based SSH Gateways - Provides a gateway that enables secure SSH connections to remote servers through a web-based interface.
• Terminal Canvas Renderers - Renders terminal sequences in the browser using a high-performance canvas-based emulator.
• HTTP-to-SSH Proxies - Provides the fundamental bridge that routes web requests to a backend SSH client for remote host access.
• Stream Multiplexing - Uses a persistent WebSocket connection to multiplex bidirectional terminal input and output streams.
• Remote Server Connectivity - Enables the establishment of secure shell connections to distant servers using specified credentials and ports.
• SSH Client Connections - Provides the ability to start SSH sessions with local or remote machines via hostname and user identity.
• SAML2 Identity Propagation - Integrates SAML2 identity propagation to authenticate users via external providers and map them to system accounts.
• SSL/TLS Connection Security - Implements SSL/TLS encryption for the transport layer between the browser and the server to protect terminal data.
• Web-to-System - Authenticates users through SAML2 providers to map web identities directly to system accounts.
• Remote Administration Interfaces - Provides a web-based interface for executing administrative commands and managing distant hosts.
• PTY Bridges - Uses a PTY bridge to spawn pseudo-terminal processes on the server and capture their output for the browser.
• Web-Based Terminal Emulators - Serves a fully interactive terminal emulator directly to web browsers over HTTP and HTTPS.
• Reverse Proxies with Integrated Security - Acts as a secure gateway that routes encrypted terminal traffic through a reverse proxy.
• URL-Based Session Parameters - Allows specifying destination hosts, ports, and working directories directly through URL parameters for streamlined access.
• Remote File Downloads - Triggers browser-side file downloads by detecting specific escape sequences in the terminal data stream.
• Proxy Traffic Management - Supports routing traffic through reverse proxies to ensure secure access and custom base paths.
• Identity Authentication - Integrates SAML2 for single sign-on and session-based authentication through external identity providers.
• Identity Header Injections - Injects SAML2-validated user identities into HTTP headers to map web identities to system usernames.
• Iframe Integration - Supports embedding the terminal interface within iframes for integration into other web applications or dashboards.
• Infrastructure and Tools - Terminal access via web browser over HTTP.
• Developer Tools - Terminal access via web browser over HTTP/HTTPS.
