> While Apache Knox aids in helping to lessen the need to gain physical access
> to deployment machines, there are still numerous compelling reasons for users
> to require such access:
> 1. Debugging, log access, etc
> 2. CLI use and automation
> 3. beeline and other clients that are deployed to gateway machines
> Gaining access to a shell for these purposes currently requires the user to have
> an ssh client installed and valid credentials that can be used for ssh, such as:
> username and password or SSH keys. Separate management of credentials for this
> access introduces some additional complexities which may even violate enterprise
> infosec policies and require the secure distribution and management of keys.
> The intent of this proposed improvement is to add a browser based terminal application
> that will provide secure access to a shell on the Knox machine. Just as any resource
> exposed by or hosted by Knox, you would be able to protect access to this terminal
> with any of the available security providers. We would also like to make this
> available out of the box as available from the Knox Homepage. This would make the
> terminal/shell available via KnoxSSO thus providing shell access with your existing
> enterprise credential authenticated SSO session.
