Suggestion: alternative user in host

[lars18th]

Hi,

As I understand the current behaviour is to map users to hosts like:

  <USER_A> -----------> <HOST_1> ... <HOST_N>
  <USER_B> -----------> <HOST_X> ... <HOST_Z>

And each host is linked to just one "user@" in that host.

If this is true, I suggest to support some special method to use variable users. For example, instead of ssh hostname@portal something like ssh hostname:user@portal. For sure, this will be available only to hosts with this functionality enabled, and for users with access to these hosts.

What you think?

Hi,

The idea behind this suggestion is to support "private" accounts on the same host. The current concept of sshportal is to provide access to "shared" accounts on hosts. But, if the user doesn't like to store his authentication tokens in the sshportal database?
