Centralized Login Server via Open ID Connect

Feature Importer shared this idea 14 years ago
Completed

As a Datacenter, I want a Centralized Login server, so that I can log into many servers from one main server.

The idea is to have a centralized login where techs can be added/removed as they are hired/etc. This prevents the need to create an account on every cPanel&WHM server when a new tech is hired.

This is a feature that has been migrated over from the cPanel Forums. All previous comments and discussions concerning this feature can be located at:

"This prevents the need to create an account on every cPanel&WHM server when a new tech is hired."

>> Create a SSH account, or actual cPanel account? If ssh, there are a few services out there that provide a central login server...or you could easily build your own. If cpanel account, can you further explain why you need a separate cPanel user for each employee?

And if you want just a WHM login, you can easily do that with the API's ... check on github for the xml-api class. A developer would be able to build something in a very short time.


I guess your request is not clear

You can do this with IPMI, or a shell - I don't think it would be a good idea to have this implemented for security reasons.

learn to use ssh keys, or the api - this is just begging for your whole server-farm to get exploited in one step

i've used ezeelogin to provide this exact functionality before, i think this feature request is really out of the scope of cpanel/whm tbh

I can imagine a lot of cPanel servers compromised just because of a feature like this. It's a nope.
