Addons

Web Console

Adds a secure shell terminal embedded into your web browser, so you can log into your Issabel server without the need to open extra ports or using special ssh client software. License is valid for one (1) year.

The Web Console is an addon (plugin) specifically designed to integrate with the Issabel unified communications solution. This plugin allows Issabel users to access a command-line console directly from the administrative interface, eliminating the need to open ports for external SSH client access.

Key Features:

  • Direct Integration: Once installed from the addons menu in Issabel and activated with a key purchased from the Issabel store, the command-line console becomes available directly in the administrative interface.
  • Enhanced Security: Avoids exposing SSH ports, reducing the risk of dictionary attacks and other unauthorized access attempts.
  • Easy Activation: Users can activate the web console with a license key purchased individually or as part of the Issabel Network package.

Benefits:

  • Reduced Security Risks: By not having to open SSH ports, the likelihood of dictionary attacks is minimized, providing a more secure environment for system administration.
  • Simplified Accessibility: Immediate and secure access to the command line from the Issabel administrative interface, facilitating management and configuration tasks without the need for additional tools.
  • Flexible Acquisition: Available both as an individual purchase and as part of the Issabel Network package, offering options tailored to users’ specific needs.

Reasons to Use the Web Console:

  • Prevention of Dictionary Attacks: Open SSH ports are a common target for dictionary attacks, where attackers attempt to gain access by trying different password combinations.
  • Improved System Security: Avoiding having the SSH service open translates to a smaller attack surface, better protecting data and system integrity.
  • Convenience and Efficiency: The web console allows for administrative tasks to be performed directly from the Issabel interface, making the process more efficient and secure.

Acquisition:

  • Individual Purchase: Users can purchase the web console independently from the Issabel store.
  • Issabel Network: It is also available as part of the Issabel Network package, providing added value along with other additional services and functionalities.
