| How to build pegasus for using webadmin? | How to build pegasus for using webadmin? |
| ======================================== | ======================================== |
| If you are building from sources, No need to set any build environ variable. It |
Building source files for webadmin will need to build for both CIM-RS and |
| is enabled by default. Webadmin is made possible by CIM-RS protocol |
webadmin. CIM-RS is built as an integral part of server(not controlled by |
| |
by build macros) and webadmin i controlled by PEGASUS_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_WEB, |
| |
which is 'true by default'. |
| |
To disable it set PEGASUS_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_WEB=false. |
| |
|
| |
What is relation between Webadmin and CIM-RS? |
| |
============================================= |
| |
webadmin interface's backbone is CIM-RS details at [1] and webserver facility |
| |
built on pegasus. CIM-RS accepts/yields payloads represented as JSON[2]. The |
| |
response in JSON can be consumed by webserver easily, for example through |
| |
javascripti, for displaying as a webpage. |
| |
|
| |
How do I bring up the webadmin? |
| |
=============================== |
| |
Enter the your local host name along with port number in the address bar of a |
| |
browser. For example, if your hostname is localhost.localdomain. Just type in |
| |
localhost.localdomain:5988. |
| |
|
| |
Which ports do CIM-RS aand webadmin use? |
| |
================== |
| |
Webadmin and CIM-RS currently uses the DMTF's CIMOM ports i.e 5988(http) and |
| |
5989(https). This port will be updated with dedicated port for CIM-RS when |
| |
available. |
| |
|
| |
Is there any security concerns for webadmin? |
| |
================================================= |
| |
In order to avoid modifying the server config options by any users, pegasus |
| |
should be started with 'enableAuthentication=true' which forces users to login |
| |
for the webadmin. |
| |
and in order to restrict to particular groups, 'authorizedUserGroups' should be |
| |
set to the groups, whose members should be allowed to modify the config |
| |
options. |
| |
EnableAuthentication and authorizedUserGroups details can be found in manpage |
| |
of cimconfig(8) |
