Support Passwords about aker

[anazmy]

Hey there,

Thanks a lot for the nice words, for password based authentication, yes, please go ahead and submit a PR, just check the branch you're using as I have added integration with freeipa with some differences in the code base.

Second, for network devices, that's an interesting use case I didn't have in mind, I was aiming to monitor ssh sessions on Linux servers and later check on windows (rdp) sessions, I have to think about including this use case specially with freeipa in the picture,but like I said password auth is indeed good to have.

Thanks! Which branch should I be using? master or phase0-freeipa?

[anazmy]

Master, as freeipa branch should be relying on ssh-keys and later kerberos tickets,though I have to handle this exception as well in freeipa branch.

Btw have you tested it with Linux servers? Any feedback?

I'm currently using it for labbing. I haven't tried it on Linux servers of any sort of scale (just one), but it vastly improves my labbing experiences. Right now, the only thing that's really bothering me from an end user perspective is that any sort of problem causes the application to close, which boots me from my SSH connection to the gateway host. I would much prefer that it tell me there was a problem and then return me to the node selection screen.

For reference, my lab currently consists of 15 network devices of various types. I haven't looked at any of the security-related features yet. Just getting started. Currently primarily using it as a gateway/jump host and less as a security aid. I do plan on examining the security features of the next month or two, though, and potentially deploying it for production use.

You're absolutely right , I had the same feeling when I faced issue #10 , I'm thinking now on best way to provide error message on the screen and failing user back to the selection menu .
