TCCRadius webadmin



Synopsis:

This is a web package that allows an administrator to keep track of all TCCRadius 
customers.

The administrator can deal with any aspect of their customer's TCCRadius 
account.  The administrator can view a customer's history, change passwords, 
activate and deactivate accounts, and can view history of the webadmin itself.

Note:  The webamin is relatively new and needs feedback.  Please email 
support@tccsoftware.com for any comments or suggestions.  Also please visit 
www.tccsoftware.com for updates to the webadmin.

Requirements:

1.	Perl 5 and Win32::ODBC
2.	Internet Server
3.	ODBC DSN connection established
4.	webadmin successfully installed using the MSI installer.



Setup

Make sure you have an ODBC DSN connection established and that the 
connection information is written down.  Write down the database field and table 
information where you store your TCCRadius users.  Also make sure that you 
know where your TCCRadius log files are stored.

1.	Go the directory that you installed the webadmin.
2.	Run the setup.pl program by double clicking the program or typing in, "perl 
setup.pl" at the command line.
3.	Read the menu and go through the full setup if this is a new install.



Create a webadmin login user

Login information is stored in a text file.  This file can be read by any user, but 
the password is encrypted by the passwords.pl program.  Use the passwords.pl 
program to manage users for the webadmin.

You need to create a user to login to the system.

1.	Go to the directory that you installed webadmin.
2.	Run the passwords.pl program.
3.	Read the menu and create a user.
4.	Remember that user's login information.



Login for the first time

1.	Go to the web directory where you setup the webadmin.
2.	If a page does not come up, make sure your web server has default.asp listed 
as the default page for a directory.
3.	Login with your username and password that you created using passwords.pl 
program.



Manage Users

You can manage your users with this feature.


Add/Edit/Delete

1.	You can view a user if you know their username.
2.	If you want to update a user it is best to type in their username and 
then edit/view.  Then you add/update the user.
3.	To add a new user just type in a username that is not used and a 
password.  The new user will be created.  If the username is already in 
use, then the existing user will be updated with a new password.  
Unless your adding new user's I would recommend using the list users 
features.


List all users

You have the option of jumping to any user's starting with a letter of the 
alphabet.  There is also the option of jumping to the next 20 in the list.  Or, 
down at the bottom of the list is a numbering of each page that the query 
returned.

Each user is displayed whether they are active or inactive, username, 
password, and any attributes.

You can quickly edit a user by clicking on the edit link by their record.

You can also delete a user by clicking on the delete link by their record.

To mass activate, deactivate any number of users listed on the page, check 
or uncheck the active checkbox, and then click submit.


Active

Same as list all users but only lists the active users.  If a user is deactivated 
the user are removed from the list.


Inactive

Same as list all users but only lists all inactive users.  If a user is activated 
then the user is removed from the list.



Transaction Logs

Allows a webadmin user to keep track of what has been going on with the 
webadmin.



Configuration

Allows a webadmin user to update any changes to the configuration settings for 
the webadmin.

More detailed settings are present than what is given in the setup.pl script, but the 
setup.pl script verifies the most necessary settings making sure the scripts will 
work.



User's Usage History

A webadmin user can view a specific user's history.  This script checks the 
TCCRadius ACCTSum logs for usage history.



Security

If you are worried about hackers please follow the instructions below to secure 
the webadmin.


Using Microsoft IIS

1.	Go into the webadmin directory on your IIS.
2.	Go to the config directory.
3.	Get into the properties for the config directory.
4.	Click on the directory tab.
5.	Uncheck read.
6.	Click ok.
7.	Do steps 2 to 6 for the lib directory.
8.	Do steps 2 to 6 for the logs directory.
9.	Do steps 2 to 6 for the Templates directory.

The webadmin should be secure from internet users, now you just have to keep 
track of user's on the computer itself.
