34                   =================
35                   Pegasus webadmin interface provides a limited edition of administering the
36                   cimserver through web. Currently, modification of cimserver config options
37                   viewing the Providers registered and subscriptions view are supported. In
38                   future management of subscriptions and provider management will be added.

40                   How to build pegasus for using webadmin?

44                   webadmin interface's backbone is CIM-RS details at [1] and webserver facility
45                   built on pegasus. CIM-RS accepts payload represented as JSON[2]. The response
46                   in JSON can be consumed webserver and can be shown as a webpage.
47                   CIM-RS is built as a integral part of cimserver, not controlled by any env and
48                   webserver facility is controlled by PEGASUS_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_WEB, which is
49                   enabled by default. To disable it set PEGASUS_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_WEB=false.
