About security and authorization

Terminal application is protected by using unique long identifier of CSP-session cookie now (v 0.9.9.5 and higher). This means that logged user will have all roles and privileges that it has on server. Unauthorized users will become "UnknownUser", so be patient.

Description

Feature	Description
WebSocket protocol	Provides stable and solid client-server connection.
Autocompletion	While entering commands, notice hints appearing in gray font. Hit <TAB> to extend your current input with suggested variant. If there is more than one hint available, you can choose best variant by pressing <CTRL> or <ALT>.
File/Globals watching	Monitor any changes in globals or files using /tail command
Syntax highlighting	Browser can divide code into logical blocks and style them according to syntax.css style definitions.
Appearance	Change the look of web-terminal as you wish, and even make you own theme!
History	Browser remembers command history, just use arrow keys to walk through it.
Copy/Paste	Select and copy text you need. Paste any combination of symbols into terminal input.
Security	Access to WebSocket is granted only if client has a hash generated by csp page. This makes it impossible to bruteforce opened WebSocket.
Accessibility	Copy your current URL and send to anybody you want. Terminal is session-independent, so you can use your own variables without thinking about other users.
And even more...	New features and bugs are coming!
