Option for per request authentication
AODtorusan opened this issue · 11 comments
Would it be possible to add an option to re-request the authentication each time you do a new request for an SSH session ?
We're using webssh on a jumphost server, but most target devices use different credentials. This means that almost every time we need to flush the browser authentication cache when we want to connect to a device, which is cumbersome.
+1 - same use case, same issue.
I love it. It’s in the queue.
I did a small workaround for that. However, you have to patch few files...
@vbeskrovny - Would you be able to share your workaround?
Sure, the link is under my profile or here: https://github.com/vbeskrovny/WebSSH2-session
@vbeskrovny I'll take a look at this when I have a moment and try to integrate it if that's ok.
Cool, thanks. By the way I wanted to add custom calls to the onDisconnect events, to add some nice prompts and fancy UI, but the "bundle.js" has no source... :(
The provided patch, will add a /logout URL, which will re-request the authentication and then redirect you back to the referrer (e.g like http://localhost:2222/ssh/host/myhost.com).
It also adds a menu entry "Switch User" that opens /logout and forces re-authentication.
Thanks @vvalchev, I will look at this shortly!
@richard-scott and @AODtorusan I've merged this into master can you see if this now fits your use case or do you feel we need to expand it to cover your use case?
Here's what the screen looks like:
And the resulting prompt (I've been working on the styling to fit current style and methods)
Option added to config.json as options.allowreauth to toggle this feature
