.. Intro Text WIP. Needed is a full description of what sysadm is and
|
|
what it can do. SysAdm is a middleware utility designed to provide a
|
|
user access to firewalled servers and systems from any location with
|
|
an open access point to the internet. To accomplish this goal, a
|
|
bridge device has been created, which relays all traffic between the
|
|
firewalled system and the user's controlling device. In order to
|
|
address security concerns, the bridge device is always considered
|
|
"untrusted" and several layers of encryption are added to all traffic
|
|
flowing through the bridge to ensure the bridge can not be used to
|
|
record or alter critical information flow. Once a secure connection
|
|
has been established, a user can fully control a firewalled system or
|
|
group of systems through the SysAdm utility. Installing packages,
|
|
creating work tasks, running build servers and automation;
|
|
controlling a secure system from any Internet connected location with
|
|
minimal risk of a security breach is the ultimate goal of SysAdm.

Welcome to SysAdm™! This documentation is intended to educate the user
|
|
on initializing and managing the SysAdm™ middleware. Initialization and
|
|
management will be documented in two separate chapters,
|
|
:ref:`gettingstarted`, and :ref:`management`. API documentation is being
|
|
handled at https://api.pcbsd.org.
