We've been prototyping an alternative distribution channel for the console and have setup a demo that leverages the mozilla app store to deliver the AS7 web console to users: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/kea/?src=mkt-search It currently requires a patched version of the AS fully support CORS [1], but the general idea is that you can retrieve to through a marketplace like the mozilla one (chrome would be another alternative) and connect to any domain controller, wether it runs locally or remotely. If want to give it shot, point four firefox browser to the marketplace URL, launch the app and connect to our CORS demo instance that runs on EC2: http://as7-preview.dyndns.org:9990 user: admin pass: webstore123! Shoutouts to Harald for making this happen. He did provide the CORS patch and did all the marketplace integration. Tell us what you think.
