Server Side Script Sample: CreateUser Script

This is a simple script that acquires the ServerUserDatabase interface and can be used to create and delete users on the server. The sample is constructed to illustrate how to parse and construct property lists and interface with standard Nebulae objects (ServerUserDatabase in this example.)

To test this script your movie can send the following messages to the Nebulae server:

Recipient: system.script.createUser

Content: [#userid:"username", #password:"password", #userlevel: 20]

Recipient: system.script.deleteUser

Content: [#userid:"username"]

The advantage of using the server side approach is to be able to create users when using the SQL database for user authentication, transparently. When used with the standard Nebulae MUSDB these commands will produce results similar to

system.DBAdmin.createUser

system.DBAdmin.deleteUser

Compiling this file will generate one Java Class, CreateUserSample.java. It should be put in a directory listed in the classpath when Nebulae is initialized, in order to be loaded by the Java Virtual Machine. You should also configure the Scriptmap.cfg file to associate the CreateUserSample class with a movie name on your server, for example:

CREATEUSERTEST = CreateUserSample
