Access and Session Control System?

If you also want to control where they go from the jump box, you might
want to look at http://www.xceedium.com/en/index.php as they claim to
add rules to what a remotely logged in user can do.

Juniper SA is very nice and get's intuitive after you familiriaze
yourself with it's workflow which is a pain if you're new to the box.

The server(s) will be running apps for doing different tasks - such as Shavlik, etc..,  (patching, reports, logging, etc..), so I am envisioning allowing an outside vendor/employee (from the internet or corp. net) to RDP or SSH to a given Windows or Unix based machines, then perform their application work from that jumping off point - kind of like a terminal server; but I'd like to control and audit the sessions as well.

I have considered doing a meetingplace server, then providing escorted access for them, or doing just the FW and a "jump" host - but need the endpoint and session solution, or just using VPN - but don't want to install a host on the vendor machines. I also have looked at a product called EDMZ - wondered if anyone had experience with it?
