OS4X Core web interface

Configuration

The OS4X Core administrative web interface is configured via the file

database.inc.php

where the first lines are intersting only:

<?php
// Since 21.10.2006, you have two options to configure your web interface:
// - by pointing to an OS4X configuration file (like "/etc/os4x.conf")
// - by typing in the database connection values directly
// The type of used configuration is defined in the variable "config_type" using either "file" or "direct".
// Using the "file" method only works if the web interface is located at the same host as OS4X is running!

$config_type="file";
// $config_type="direct";

$config_file="/etc/os4x.conf";

// confguration part for direct configuration: just uncomment the following 5 lines and change values as needed
// $mysql_host = "localhost:3306:/tmp/mysql.sock";
// $mysql_user = "os4x";
// $mysql_password = "os4x";
// $DBName = "os4x";
// $tableprefix="os4x_";
// $serverID = 0;

// enable this flag if a user-sight of this web interface is wanted
// valid values: true/false
// $userview=true;
// $userview=false;

enabling user view

"User view" is a special mode of the web interface where all administrative operations are disabled and only interesting views of the OS4X web interface are enabled.

By setting the variable "$userview" to "true", the following components change:

• the header of the web interface disables interacting with the daemons (starting, stopping, dumping logs etc.)
• Configuration is viewable, but not changeable
• CAPI configuration is viewable, but not changeable. Scanning new devices is disabled.
• OFTP2 cipher suites and their configurations (including variable definitions) are disabled completely.
• Tools (database backup, license update & overview, automatic certificate generation) are disabled completely.
• Partner overview only contains basic OFTP parameters and no functionality to create, edit and/or delete entries. OS4X Enterprise functionality is disabled. Links to statistics for partners are enabled.
• Send log doesn't contain links to edit partner parameters any more.
• Receive log doesn't contain links to edit partner parameters any more.
• xERP log doesn't contain links to edit partner parameters any more.
• Script logs doesn't support restarting events any more.
• Send queue doesn't contain any editing functionality. Creating new entries is disabled. Deleting is enabled. Mass-actions are disabled. Aborting active transfers is enabled. Viewing the progress is enabled.
• Receive queue has no delete- and abort-functionality. Link to edit partner parameters removed.
• All additional OS4X Enterprise specific links have been removed.
• all unlinked PHP scripts contain a check for accessibility. In user view mode, the abort with the message "You are not allowed to view this page!".
