[Jonas Smedegaard]Please someone propose what a simple LDAP admin GUI could contain.I am not sure, but suspect the feature set of lwat is a good list. Anyone got a complete list for what lwat could do? I know it could - create users usable on unix and windows - generate passwords - single user or from a list (CSV?) - change user info (names, home directories, passwords) - allow users to change their own passwords - create file groups - maintain file groups (move users in and out of groups) - update DNS and DHCP information for a computer in LDAP - create computer netgroups and maintain them (move computers in and out of groups) - maintain automount maps in LDAP Anything more?
Please, others, throw in your comments on this!
The most important was not the feature set, but the simplicity of the GUI, thought.
I believe I understood that from your original post. Thing is, CipUX offers an XML-RPC interface, and I am considering writing a desktop application (i.e. not a web app!) and it would then help tremendously to know which features was most urgently needed to implement.
Technically, I will most likely code this in Perl as that is what I am capable of and find trustworthy. Currently I am considering to use either Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory or Wx::Perl::Dialog, and use an MVC code structure which can hopefully later be extened to a refactoring of the existing web interface CipUX::CAT::Web.
Comments welcome, of course :-)
Happy hacking,
