[one-users] XML-RPC API's

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi

We have updated the session information has been updated in the
XML-RPC API reference. I Hope now is clearer ;).

http://www.opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:api

About the oneadmin password. First time you start OpenNebula it takes
the name and password for 'oneadmin' from the ONE_AUTH variable. Note
that oneuser list command can only be excuted by onedamin so you
should have set the ONE_AUTH variable....

http://www.opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:cg#opennebula_users

BTW, do not forget to share the screen-shots of your web interface with us!

Thanks for the feedback!!

Cheers

Ruben

All that I am doing in this is have a login page with authenticates by checking for the username:password string in the system env variable and then after authentication user is given an option to upload a topology file or select random OS's that s/he wants deployed.

What is the syntax for packaging the parameters and making the corresponding function calls. I am using the Frontier::Client perl module to make the xml-rpc calls. Can I have an example? I am specially confused with the syntax and values for passing the session string.
