I need to remotely manage virtual machines (many of them) via secure channel. SSH inbound is disabled. Anyway to use some web based tool running behind SSL. It will be used to push updates, config changes including execution of shell commands/scripts?
The servers in question would also be in private network but has outbound connectivity with only 443 for inbound access.
Thanks!
You could use the n2n peer-to-peer tunneling protocol to help ensure access to remote systems where you can't control the firewalling setup.
I use it for the exact purposes you're planning... in addition, it's useful for remote SNMP polling and OpenNMS.
