ReCoBS is a security concept designed by the German Federal Office for Information Security ([[https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN/Home/home_node.html|Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik]], BSI). It places a terminal server (in our case, a Linux box running X2Go) in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) between two firewalls. This terminal server may freely surf the net, but it cannot initiate "downstream" connections towards the LAN. From the LAN side, it is possible to connect "upstream" to the terminal server (in our case, via X2Go/SSH), but direct outbound connections to the Internet are blocked by default. Where we're diverting from the standard ReCoBS approach is that we're using a single firewall with a third ethernet port for the DMZ, and we're running both the firewall and the X2Go terminal server as virtual machines on a stripped down Debian Linux with KVM. Also, we're providing a web proxy server with a default deny policy, so that you can whitelist "safe" domains like microsoft and antivirus updates, or online banking portals, and access those using your locally installed browser or online banking software (which makes more sense from a security standpoint, if you think about it). While the system isn't limited to a particular hardware configuration (we've shipped regular midi-tower cases as well as 19", 1HU rack-mount servers), our standard model is a fanless (i.e. entirely passively cooled), very compact case with enough CPU and RAM for up to 5 concurrent users. A picture, showing the box on top of a stack of copy paper for easy size comparison, is available [[http://www.baur-itcs.de/20-servermodelle/10-lexcomputechtwister|here]] This allows us to offer an affordable solution even for small offices like a general practicioner's office. Obviously, there is a high demand for data protection solutions in the healthcare sector (as probably everyone can understand immediately), and this is where we've sold quite a number of Electronic GloveBoxes so far. Of course, it could also be used by lawyers, product designers (think industrial espionage), and similar professions where you just don't want to see your customer records/confidential data leaked onto the Internet. To provide a seamless user experience, we're using the X2Go Published Applications feature of the X2Go Client - in fact, we're the ones who [[doc:sponsors|sponsored]] the development of said feature. What we're publishing is a minimal set of internet applications (browser, mail client, PDF viewer and OpenOffice/LibreOffice), accessible via right-click on the X2Go icon in the taskbar. Thanks to the Published Application Mode, these applications interact with the Desktop as if they were installed locally on the machine, there is no annoying full-screen desktop window that you need to drag out of the way to access your local applications, like you might know (and hate) it from using VNC or RDP. Please visit our website for further information and to view a screencast. The website is only available in German at the moment, but if you are interested in selling GloveBoxes in your country, feel free to contact us by e-Mail and we'll provide you with English translations of whatever you may need. Also, while the screencast has German on-screen text and no translation yet, it should be rather easy to figure out what it's about, even without understanding the language. * Overview: [[http://baur-itcs.de/10-elektronischeglovebox/]] * Screencast: [[http://baur-itcs.de/10-elektronischeglovebox/50-videos/]] * e-Mail: [[mailto:kontakt@baur-itcs.de]] ---- Kudos to [[http://das-netzwerkteam.de/|sunweaver]] for jumping in and providing the initial revision of this page. :-) -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/

X2Go falls into server and client components. On the server there are some obligatory core components (not very many!) and a variety of server add-ons and extensions. ===== Functionality Scope ===== When talking about the functionality scope of X2Go, this mainly addresses the server-side of X2Go. Any functionality provided by the server, of course, needs its counterpart in the X2Go Client. Thus, implementing features into X2Go always is X2Go Server and X2Go Client development. ==== X2Go Server Base Setup ==== The minimal setup of an X2Go Server is the installation of the ''x2goserver'' plus the ''x2goserver-xsession'' package. X2Go Server installs out of the box and is immediately usable (session login, audio, client-side folder sharing). Any other functionality needs configuration work and possibly a server-side add-on component of X2Go. ==== Possible X2Go Server Add-Ons ==== * X2Go Desktop Bindings for various Desktops * X2Go Desktop Sharing * X2Go Published Applications * X2Go Session Brokerage * Multi-node X2Go setups * Client-side Printing with X2Go * ... ===== Success Stories ===== This section provides some success stories of companies or single users who have sucessfully deployed X2Go in their working context. * [[doc:deployment-stories:electronic-glovebox|The Electronic Glovebox]] (by Stefan Baur) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-swiss-school-with-windows-ad-sso|X2Go in a Swiss school, with Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Single-Sign-On]] (by Ueli Leutwyler) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-hpc-cluster-upenn|X2Go used to access High-Performance-Computing cluster at University of Pennsylvania]] (by Michael Stauffer) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-martinos-center-for-medical-imaging|X2Go at Martinos Center for Medical Imaging]] (by Paul Raines/Sam Mehl) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-cisco|X2Go at Cisco]] (by Larry Battraw) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-westlake-financial|X2Go at Westlake Financial]] (by Chris Halbersma) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-six-group-com|X2Go at Six-Group.com]] (by Daniel Zuck) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-nasa-jet-propulsion-laboratory|X2Go at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] (by Elizabeth Real) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-cern-university-of-cincinnati|X2Go at CERN/University of Cincinnati]] (by Adam Davis) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-uwaterloo|X2Go at the University of Waterloo, Canada]] (by Mirko Vucicevich) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-tu-graz|X2Go at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz)]] (by Nikos Chararas) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-rwth-aachen|X2Go at the Department of Mathematics, RWTH Aachen University]] (by Frank Knoben) * [[doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-dom-texas-am-university|X2Go at the Department of Mathematics, Texas A&M University]] (by Steven L.
