OIT announces an SSH gateway on the web.
The SSH gateway allows you to make an SSH connection through the World
Wide Web. This means that you do not have to install an SSH client
program to make a terminal connection to Glue or Deans.
Note that the SSH Gateway requires a Glue login. You can connect to either service via either login.
This service works from any machine that has a web browser that can run Java Applets, including most internet cafes. You can start an SSH connection
by clicking on a link.
This service provides the same level of data security as a regular SSH client program.
The SSH gateway uses Java applet technology to provide the secure connection. Some operating systems do not have Java installed by default. This page
contains a test applet to check whether your system has a functioning Java virtual machine. Below, you should see the
phrase "Java Virtual Machine is OK. It may take a moment for the applet code to load and run,
and you may receive a security warning. These conditions are normal. If you see the phrase "No Java Virtual Machine Found"
it means that you must install Java in order to use the SSH gateway. You can find Java for Microsoft Windows
systems at this link on java.com.
Java for other operating systems is available at java.sun.com.
