[SOLVED] How to Connect as an Admin Client to Union?

[sean]

Hey there,

I can't seem to find anywhere in the documentation or Reactor API of how to connect to Union server as an "authenticated" Admin client...is it just a matter of connecting to the the Admin Gateway port? I assume the Admin password needs to be specified somehow but I have no idea where to do this...I am trying to make my own Admin tool...

hi sean,
to login as an admin, connect to the admin port, then send an "a1" upc with the password, like this:

Code: Select all

reactor.getMessageManager().sendUPC("a1", "yourPassword");

for a list of admin commands, see the unofficial admin upc specification here:
http://www.unionplatform.com/specs/uap/

note that in the future, we plan to move all commands from that spec into the main upc specification, and limit usage using union's security roles.

Thanks Colin, I was able to figure out that I needed to send an "a1" message by monitoring the Server messages while using the Union Admin tool.

Thanks for the reference to all of the other Admin commands...I don't think there is a link to it from the main site, I guess since it's still in "unofficial" status.
