Chuck Visitor	root user? - 2006/09/12 02:44 Hello, I should say this is some great piece of software! Here's my question: it's unclear at the docs how to create a root user. Can you clarify that? Fort example, let's say that the password for the root user will be "rootpass", so I guess the "[admin]" section of the palabre.conf file should look like: [admin] password = rootpass But what next? if I want to use the database for the user autentification, should I add some user to the database with the same password? And if Yes, what name should I use? Should it be strictly "root" or it may be something like "admin" or "master"? And how to check if the user was recognized as root? Can you post a couple of examples of the tags that only root can send to the server and what it should answer? A "getinfo" or "shutdown" examples would be great! Thanks, Chuck

Célio Visitor	Re:root user? - 2006/09/12 09:31 Hi In fact for now, ther's only "one" root user, and he may choose it's username at eeach logon Enabling or not DB Access won't change anything. DbAccess is using the "password" attribute, and root pasword is using the "rootpass" attribute (in the connect node) so for example you will connect through : <connect nickname="Anythingyouwant" rootpass="Yourrootpasswordinpalabre.conf" /> The "getinfo" node is not really finished yet and is not really helpfull for now ... So the root user can shutdown the Palabre server "cleanly" by notifying all users. And can broadcast messages to all connected users <m broadcast="1">HELLO WORLD !</m> The getinfo node will act as a small statistic viewer about number of rooms ... how long since the creation of the rooms , number of clients, ... I'll try to build a Flash administration on top of that :) Have fun

Chuck Visitor	Re:root user? - 2006/09/12 14:57 I have put this to the conf file: [admin] password = secret [database] checkpassword = true dbType = mysql dbHost = ip_of_my_database dbUser = root dbPassword = my_db_root_password dbDatabase = my_database_name Now I'm using a demo client to connect as root and getting this: 161341 Incoming : <error>Authentication Error</error> 161322 Sending : <connect nickname="chuck" rootpass="secret" /> So it seems that when checkpassword is turned ON, the root connectivity is broken, as the server still looks for the nickname in the database. When I'm setting checkpassword=false, the root user can connect to the server.
