Solaris

Even if you do not offer putty.exe for download but only launch an already installed instance of it the security implications are likely as hard as downloading and supposedly such a solution won't ever be working with different browsers.

And if you do not have a very clean management, where you absolutely can be sure that putty.exe is always located under the same path "C:\Program files....", you'll have a hell of chaos of the various clients.

When I see terminals pushed the way you describe, it's usually done with things like Citrix. Wanting total control of someone else's window before the terminal is established isn't so much SSH as virtualization.

Of course: TIMTOWDI

I'm not sure if you're talking about that desktop rubble.

I just checked it out, because I'm curious about it. I had it up in 5 Minutes at a Linux test webserver. Seems to be not that much trouble to stuff in some individual settings.

What I've realized is: Gateone is a python application under the hood. (Thought it was only pure html). I'm not sure if it's that easy to have that python environment within solaris.

I have another idea: Isn't there a common file extension for Putty-SSH-Session-Configurations? If yes, you possibly may create and offer such a session-config-file for download, which will your clients browser probably make to offer it to the user to open it with the linked program(putty) and start the correctly configured session.

Did you try google? Lots of answers.

launch putty session from browser - Google search

My point is, what he wants isn't an SSH client, it's a virtualization tool.

Accepted as your personal opinion.

For myself, from the few sentences that chaithanyaa wrote, I have no basis to speak out such a recommendation, not the least knowing if that really may be of any good and requiring considerable efforts to be invested.

So I let the poster decide for himself/herself what he/she sees fit - not excluding the option you gave.

And yes: As far as I understood you, you possible see your advice as what is best here.

That too is why I called TIMTOWDI in: As a reminder that most of the time there may be more than the single best thing.

Many thoughts - even if no whole solution itself - possibly extend the understanding of the problem the ability to figure out a proper solution - increasing overall knowledge and learning of all participating persons.

As an aspect of a community, others may be personally pleased if there's no single best solution, which would void the value of other posts, but showing there is an important part in everyones post.

Back to the topic

I'm still the opinion that a simple ssh-web-term has good features to offer here:
But I'm still not sure what meets the posters needs best.
