Congratulations! By displaying this page in your web browser, you have successfully completed the first step of the Webster section of the NodeBrain Tutorial. Your webster1 script looks like this. #!/usr/bin/nb -d # File: tutorial/Webster/webster1 -rm log/webster.log set log="log/webster.log"; define webster node webster; webster. define uri cell "http://0.0.0.0:62443"; webster. define Authenticate cell "no"; User Authentication Since the goal of Webster is to provide an administrator interface to a NodeBrain agent, the host caboodle, and perhaps the host system, we need to implement user authentication and authorization to use administrator features. Otherwise Webster will only display content like a normal insecure web server. You have a couple options.
Exploring the Webster Interface Now that you have a little security in place, you should be able to access the Webster interface, which not only pretends to be a web server, but also pretends to be a web CGI application. The interface is accessed with URL's having a path starting with a colon followed by a request.
If you find yourself repeating Webster requests frequently, you can set bookmarks in your browser, or use Webster bookmarks. Use the "Bookmarks" menu item in Webster to display your bookmarks. Copyright © 2014 NodeBrain.org |
