| sshproxy is a pure python implementation of an ssh proxy. 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. |
