I need to have the following setup
is this possible ?
There are about 15 computers in LAN
ONE computer will act as the gateway to the internet
ALL other 14 computers will access the internet via THAT gateway computer
all 14 computers will run windows XP
The gateway computer will run LINUX
ALL 14 client computers will use
or any sftp , ftp and ssh client
The gateway computer needs a sftp, ssh and ftp proxy server software
and THAT proxy needs to be a special proxy with the following capability
say computer1 in LAN wants to access an external server via SFTP and ithe external server's details are
1 IP address
2.Actualusername
3.Actualpassword
I need to configure the special proxy with the above actual values
AND anyone from one of the windows client computers will fire up their SCP/sftp client software and connect to the proxy using a unique username and password in LAN
like
Proxy computer IP
unique username
unique pass
NOW the proxy running on the gateway when it encounters this unique username and unique pass, IT must immediately know to "tunnel" or pass the connection to the
1 IP address
2.Actualusername
3.Actualpassword
actual server..
The objective of the whole exercise is to prevent users in THOSE 14 computers from even knowing which server they are accessing and also to shield from them the important usernames and passwords
so a mapping file may need to exist in the proxy
internal username:internal password --> external ip:external username:
external password
internal username1:internal password1 --> external ip1:external
username1: external password1
internal username2:internal password2 --> external ip:external
username2: external password2
so for example any LAN machine which connects to the proxy using a
sftp client using say internal username1: internal password1 should be
seamlessly connected to the external ip1 server via sftp
In other words a user in a client machine in the LAN launches his sftp
client and connects to say 192.168.0.99 (the socks5 proxy server
machine) and types in internal username1 internal password1. Now the
squid proxy must refer the mapping file and in turn connect via sftp
to an external server of ip external ip1 , external username1 and
external password 1
Is the above arrangement possible ? if so please point me to THE PROXY softwaRE which does this ?
Please also ask me if you need more clarification
