News and Announcements / Re: Usage of eBox Platform

« on: August 24, 2009, 06:45:21 pm »

Using as a GUI for a firewall in a datacenter (right now only used for a couple specific production servers, as a pilot, more or less) and as an openvpn server (again, for the GUI). Our organization is mostly windows-centric, so having the GUI so I don't have to either train other users or do routine operations myself is a necessity.

A side note, at least when I looked a year ago or so when I set this up, ebox is by far the simplest/nicest platform for certificate management, a key for openvpn. All the other web-based GUIs for PKI I've looked at are huge and extremely involved to get set up. When all you need is a single CA, this is nice, simple, and effective.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Edit user bug

« on: December 09, 2008, 08:25:37 pm »

I ended up just doing:

apt-get remove libebox
apt-get install ebox ebox-ca ebox-dhcp ebox-dns ebox-firewall ebox-mail ebox-network ebox-ntp ebox-objects ebox-openvpn ebox-samba ebox-services  ebox-usersandgroups ebox-webserver libebox

and after that, it was working fine. I originally upgraded from 0.11.99 so I don't know if  that made a difference or not.

Installation and Upgrades / Edit user bug

Whenever I try to edit a user (eg: /ebox/UsersAndGroups/User?username=test) I get the message:

  You have just hit a bug in eBox. Please seek technical support.
  An internal error related to a template has occurred. This is a bug, relevant information can be found in the logs.

Relevant log entry (/var/log/ebox/ebox.log):
