Re: [389-users] Problems with running Management and Directory Consoles on remote servers

[Aaron Hagopian <airhead1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had very good luck running java application over the NX protocol (http://nomachine.com/). �It actually runs over SSH so it doesn't take extra firewall ports to get going. �I have used the 389 console over nx and it works great. �I actually just use the built in freenx libraries that are in EPEL instead of the nomachine ones. �You can set the nx client for remote desktop or run single apps (very similiar to citrix).

Another suggestion for those still wanting to do pure ssh is to add the '-C' option in conjuction with '-X' for compression. �There is still latency but compression does make it a bit more�bearable.

I'll have a think about it, it's going to move down the priority list
now though. Just from my hazy memories of RH423 I'd thought it was
reasonably easily to achieve.

Point taken. Still a bit crap that X forwarding, Swing, et al don't play
nicely together.

Basically, yes. I've found DSGW a bit limited, but will try bash it into
shape for our needs.


Thinking out loud, maybe some kind of publishing of the Java console
through a web interface as well.
