Few questions - filtering and control center

[sirex]

Is it possible to filter the configuration parameters for a module  (as in, the configuration parameter for the daemon the module controls) so that there is a layering effect. A basic user could only alter some details, and an advanced user could alter more. Can this be done with passwords / diffrent users / having a popup dialog asking you to enter a password of a user with higher privileges ?

Will the new control center (in 02/09 or so) alter from the current mechanism of the control center in any major way ? (still vpn, https, and SOAP?). Will the soap interfaces needed to communicate with it alter in any way ?

I'm afraid to tell you that the layer support you ask it is not currently supported.

Regarding to the new control center, it is completely different thing, indeed it is service based. However, the same technology is used. More news are to come.

do you know if multi user / filtering is planned at all ? -- if not can i request it ? (beers to whoever checks it in

the control center being diffrent might or might not matter to me, it'll depend on what the info is once its available - just wanted to know if its a waste of time configuring the modules to work with the current control center layout.

I think it is under development right now. Filtering profiles for objects and user as you suggests.

The ebox-control-center as it is is currently unmaintained. A year ago or so I stopped its development, I don't know it is currently working with last versions in any way.

digging this up, as i could really do with asking.

is the source code for the unstable/unmaintained/unloved control center available ? - being able to see how it operated might really help me, even if its not fully functional.

The control center code is available in this URL:

http://trac.ebox-platform.com/browser/trunk/server/control-center

You may check out from the subversion server as well .

If you'd like to maintain the code, it will be great !
