== Welcome to sshGate server ==

sshGate is a tool which helps to configure an OpenSSH server in order to have
a SSH proxy. sshGate uses the double SSH method to be able to connect to
a target host. In fact, sshGate has private ssh-keys of target hosts, makes
ACL checks and can log what users do on a given target host.

                        /-------> target host N
                       /-------->     . . .
         user ----> sshGate ----> target host 1
                      |-> ACL
                      |-> targets private sshkeys
                      |-> users public sshkeys

== Install & Upgrade ==

If you crab the source for github.com, you need to build a sshGate-server tarball.
For more information : https://github.com/Tauop/sshGate/wiki/BuildPackages

Just run the ./install.sh script and answer to questions.
It you make a upgrade, the installed configuration can be re-used, and
data migration can be performed.
