Re: [webmin-l] HP-UX Trusted Mode with Webmin

[flq <fl...@ca...>]

Hi Jamie,

thanks for the reply.

I will have an HP Visualize Workstation running HP-UX 11i
next Monday.  With root access thru ssh.

In the mean time, here is the mods I did in some Perl script
in order to support some functions that I have to implement.

In "useradmin/userlib.pl"

I added these lines of code:

elsif ($pft == 99) {
        # Just invoke the useradd command
        &system_logged("useradd -u $_[0]->{'uid'} -g
$_[0]->{'gid'} -c \"$_[0]->{'real'}\" -d $_[0]->{'home
'} -s $_[0]->{'shell'} $_[0]->{'user'}");
        # And set the password
        &system_logged("/usr/lbin/modprpw -x -l
$_[0]->{'user'} >/opt/webmin/tmp.p 2>&1");
        &system_logged("/usr/bin/cat /opt/webmin/tmp.p |
mailx -s \"Your new password for \`hostname\`\"
my_email_addr\@company.com >/dev/null 2>&1");
        }

and in "useradmin/hpux-lib.pl:

I changed:

sub passfiles_type
{
return 0;
}

to

sub passfiles_type
{
return 99;
}



I know it's not much of a mod but at least it lets me go
forward with the implementation of the tool in our
environment.

Let me know if it is ok for now.

I will be able to give you information about HP-UX Trusted
Mode as I know ins and outs of HP's implementation.

I have many "wish list" requests for Webmin in order to be a
valid solution corporate wise.

Some examples:

1 - Webmin accounts security should have password
complexity, expiration date, etc...

2 - Integration with AD in order to control these Webmin
accounts from a centralized location (LDAP authentication)

3 - The possibility for the Webmin user when he creates a
user on a Unix box to enter an email address to send the
password to.

4 - Using a Unix account as a template to create another
user.

5 - Reason for a locked account

6 - In the "Change password" module instead of entering a
new password, to just reset the account based on the reason
why it was locked.

7 - Change the expiry date of an account. e.g. a renewed
consultant's contract.

These items are all pertaining to HP Trusted Mode.

TIA for your time


Francis
