AW: [cobalt-users] Creating Users

["Oliver Schlag \(privat\)" <chairman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hy,

we've solved this Problem by using a mysql Table. The customer writes all
accounts he wants to get into a table and we read it out with a cron job. In
this job we check if the customer is allowed to create a user and if the
style of the username (max. characters, special prefix for a customer and so
on) are correct. If all this is correct we create a new user.

With the mysql table we prevent the user from needing root access to our
server and we only allow the customer to create accounts from a specific
server (host in mysql from which access is granted).

Hope that helps and sorry for my bad english.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Oliver Schlag

Take a look at http://www.atdot.org/ to see what you're in for. Unless your
user has tons of space, he won't have room for many accounts. This is the
type of thing a server owner/operator usually runs, not a hosting client.
As far as running the script on a different server, I don't think that's
easily set up because of permissions. It might be a security problem.
