Introduction

Ajaxterm is a web based terminal. See http://antony.lesuisse.org/qweb/trac/wiki/AjaxTerm

Download

smeserver-ajaxterm-1.0.3-0.noarch.rpm

Installation

yum localinstall smeserver-ajaxterm-1.0.3-0.noarch.rpm

This installs and starts the Ajaxterm service. There is no need for the signal-event post-upgrade/reboot

Configuration

The Ajaxterm service is configurable by properties of the ajaxterm record in the SME server configuration database.

Restrict to local login on localhost

config setprop Ajaxterm allowOnlyLocalhost yes
service ajaxterm restart

Only a login to local host is possible (default setting). Ajaxterm runs the 'su --login USER' command to login. You are asked for a username and password

Allow ssh login on all hosts

config setprop Ajaxterm allowOnlyLocalhost no
service ajaxterm restart

Ajaxterm runs the 'ssh' command to login to a host. You are asked for hostname or IP, ssh port, username and password. If localhost or 127.0.0.1 is given as the host Ajaxterm falls back to the 'su --login USER' login command.

Ajaxterm service port

By default Ajaxterm runs as a service (a python script) listening on port 8022. You can change the port using the following commands:

config setprop Ajaxterm servicePort NEWPORT
service ajaxterm restart
service httpd-e-smith restart
