KSSH is a KDE front-end to ssh.

It can work as a standard KDE application that launches ssh connections in a terminal or as a konsole session.

This means that you can press in any konsole "New Session" and then select "Secure Shell".

LibPHPBase is a class-library with various tools for creating websites, the most important and useful parts are:

HTML Abstraction

A set of classes representing HTML-tags making OO-based site design easy. The generated code strives to be clean and to follow w3c-recommendation.

Session/Authentication handling

A small and easy authentication/session-handling solution

Javadoc-like documentation generator

Yadayada

Screenie is a small and lightweight screen frontend that is designed to be a session handler that simplifies the process of administrating detached jobs by providing an interactive menu.

Xrdesktop is a GTK-Perl frontend for rdesktop that allows saving and editing of session configurations.

Xrdesktop aim is to support all the command-line options of rdesktop in an easy-to-use GUI.

At the moment it supports a Name field for keeping track of entries, the IP/Hostname, username, window geometry, keyboard mapping, fullscreen, forced bitmap updating, a variable passthrough for adding your own rdesktop variables, and the prevention of license requests.

The eventual goal is to support all of rdesktops command-line features in
the gui.

This program is released under the GNU GPL

Auth MemCookie is an Apache v2 authentification and authorization modules are based on "cookie" authentification mecanism.

The module dont make authentification by it self, but verify if authentification "the cookie" are valid for each url protected by the module. The module validate also if the "authentificated user" have authorisation to acces url.

Authentification are made externaly by an authentification form page and all authentification information nessary to the module a stored in memcached indentified by the cookie value "authentification session id" by this login page.

How it Works

Phase 1 : The login Form

Authentification are made by a login formular page.
This login page must authenticate the user with any authenticate source (ldap, /etc/password, file, database....) accessible to langage of the page (php, perl, java... an ldap login page sample in php are in samples directory).

Then must set cookie that contain only a key the "authentification unique id" of the "authentification session".

The login page must store authorisation and user information of the authenticated user in memcached identified by the cookie key "authentification unique id".

The login page can be developted in any langage you want, but must be capable to use memcached (they must have memcache client api for us)

Phase 2 : The Apache v2 Module

After the user are logged, the apache 2 module check on each protected page by apache ACL the presence of the "cookie".

if the "cookie" exist, try to get session in memcached with the "cookie" value if not found return "HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED" page.

if session exist in memcached verify if acl match user session information if not match return "HTTP_FORBIDDEN" page.

SMK PHP Authentication Class package can be used to authenticate users against a MySQL database of user records.
It can verify whether there is a record for an active user given the user name and password. If the authentication succeeds, it creates a record for a new session in another database table.
The new session identifier is set to a session cookie. This cookie can be verified in subsequent accesses to determine whether the user was previously authenticated and the session did not expire.
Installing:
- Import the "script.sql" in your MySQL Database (It adds a default user "Testman", password "t")
- Alter the db.inc.php accourding to your system setup. Please adjust the SESSION timeout since it is maybe to high for you.
- Build a login page similar to my example "login.php". you should include the two files
require_once(auth.class.php);
require_once(db.inc.php);
- in all the "registered only" pages include "require_once(auth.php);" on top. Please check "index.php"
Enhancements:
- A new behaviour option for session timeout was added.
- By setting or unsetting the _TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE constant in "db.inc.php" you can determine if the Session timeout is relative to the login time or relative to last user activity (page reload or sumbision).

Gnome-RDP is a Remote Desktop Client for the GNOME Desktop. Gnome-RDP supports the following protocols: RDP, VNC, SSH.
Additional programs required: rdesktop, tightvnc, ssh, gnome-term.
Enhancements:
- Custom screen resolution for RDP sessions
- Database converter from ver. 0.2.0 to 0.2.2
- (bugfix) Disabled user field in case of VNC session
- (bugfix) Sound redirection combo displayed the value of Image quality. It has been fixed and now displayes the correct value.
- Double click on session name initiate the connection to remote computer. Double click on category expands/collapses its node.
- sessionTreeView expands to modified session after closing the options
