How to Setup the Remote Admin
Setup OpenSim
First you should enable the remote admin interface to do so just add the following lines to your OpenSim.ini file Port should be set to a nonzero value to have the remote admin on a different port
As of r/16843 you can limit access to remote admin to specific IP addresses by using the optional access_ip_addresses. You can list all IP's allowed to access remote admin by seperating each IP by a comma. If access_ip_addresses isn't set, then all IP addresses can access RemoteAdmin.
[RemoteAdmin] enabled = true access_password = secret port = 0 ;access_ip_addresses = 0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0, ...
Example in C# .NET
This example needs the Nwc.XmlRpc library, located in your OpenSim bin folder.
public void CreateUser(Uri url, string adminPassword, string firstName, string lastName, string password, string email, int regionX, int regionY) { var address = Dns.GetHostEntry(url.DnsSafeHost).AddressList[0]; var ht = new Hashtable(); ht["password"] = adminPassword; ht["user_firstname"] = firstName; ht["user_lastname"] = lastName; ht["user_password"] = password; ht["user_email"] = email; ht["start_region_x"] = regionX; ht["start_region_y"] = regionY; var parameters = new List<Hashtable> { ht }; var rpc = new XmlRpcRequest("admin_create_user", parameters); rpc.Invoke(url.ToString()); } [Test] public void NativeUserRegistrationTest() { CreateUser(new Uri("http://yourgrid.com:9000/"), "secret", "Test2", "user2", "apassword", "email@address.com", 0, 0); }
Another Example in C# .NET

RemoteAdmin executable for Windows
The RemoteAdmin executable for Windows is a command line tool based on the RemoteAdmin PHP Class.
Downloads and documentation on the RemoteAdmin Executable webpage
Example in PHP
This example needs the RemoteAdmin PHP Class file available here.<?php // Author : Olish Newman // Source : http://code.google.com/p/opensimtools/wiki/RemoteAdminPHPClass // Licence : BSD License // Including the RemoteAdmin PHP class. It can be downloaded from the link above. include('RemoteAdmin.php'); // Instantiate the class with parameters identical to the Python example above $myRemoteAdmin = new RemoteAdmin('127.0.0.1', 9000, 'secret'); // Invoke admin_broadcast $parameters = array('message' => 'the answer is 42'); $myRemoteAdmin->SendCommand('admin_broadcast', $parameters); // Invoke admin_shutdown (example for use without parameters) $myRemoteAdmin->SendCommand('admin_shutdown'); // Invoke admin_create_user (multiple parameters) $parameters = array('user_firstname' => 'Ruth', 'user_lastname' => 'OpenSim', 'user_password' => 'MyPassword', 'start_region_x' => '1000', 'start_region_y' => '1000'); $myRemoteAdmin->SendCommand('admin_create_user', $parameters); ?>
Note: This script does not appear to work for create user because it tries to pass the start region x and y as a string when the RemoteAdmin needs a string. The class needs to be edited to pass it as a number or edit the remoteadmin source to convert the string to a unsigned int.
Another example in PHP5, using CURL.//This is the slightly modified RPC-class of the BSD-licensed WiXTD webportal <?php class RemotePC { function __construct() { $this->serveruri = "http://myhost"; $this->serverport ="9000"; $this->password ="foobar"; } function call($command,$parameters) { $parameters['password'] = $this->password; $request = xmlrpc_encode_request($command, $parameters); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->serveruri); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $this->serverport]); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request); curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return xmlrpc_decode($result); } } ?>
Example in Perl
Because the OpenSim internal web server just accepts HTTP/1.0 requests, it's worth to give a perl example. It's not a daily thing to do HTTP/1.0 within the LWP environment. You can get the Perl example here.
