ajaxterm for Debian
-------------------

  * Ajaxterm only supports utf8.

  * With the default settings, you have to install openssh-server and
    allow password authentication. Open file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and
    set:

        PasswordAuthentication yes

    As an alternative, you might choose to run ajaxterm as root. Change
    the default daemon setting in file /etc/default/ajaxterm to:

        AJAXTERM_UID="root"

    Ajaxterm will then fall back to use /bin/login.

  * Apache setup

    By default Ajaxterm only listen at 127.0.0.1:8022. For remote
    access, it is strongly recommended to use https SSL/TLS, and that is
    simple to configure if you use the apache web server using
    mod_proxy.

    If apache2 is not already set up for for https SSL/TLS, ensure
    openssl is installed to issue a self signed certificate (apache.pem):

        export RANDFILE=/dev/random \
        openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes \
            -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem \
            -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

    With apache2, copy the site file:

        cp /usr/share/doc/ajaxterm/examples/apache.conf \
           /etc/apache2/sites-available/ajaxterm.conf

    Edit it to suit your needs, enable site, enable apache features, and restart:

        a2ensite ajaxterm

        a2enmod ssl
        a2enmod proxy_http

        /etc/init.d/apache reload
