[one-users] RPC API and PHP (auth pb)

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Nicolas,

serveradmin is used by Sunstone and related interface services. Did
you try it out with other users (ie, oneadmin)?

Depending on what type of service you are building, you may be
interested indeed in serveradmin. Could you elaborate a bit more on
that?

Regards
