[one-users] RPC client: how to determine my user id?

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi Carsten,

I just wanted to let you know that we have implemented an XML-RPC method
one.user.info, that can be called with -1 to know all your own user
information.

You can follow the development here:
http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/552

Regards,
Carlos.
