Hello guys,

I have been reading through the forum and did not find what I was looking for 😊.
Maybe I did not look properly, so if anyone can advise that would be very helpfull.

Here is the situation, I manage about 30 servers with my visualcron and every time a new guy join the team he as to connect to each server and create his account then map all the servers on his visual cron.

The results are catastrophic because every time the new guy misses a serveur or has an issue.

So is their any way I could write a script that could create the accounts on all the servers (I am using ActiveDirectory accounts) and then generate a conf file for him to use ?

Thx guys

Are you talking about the "connections" to different servers? There is a file you could copy called "servers.xml". It is located in the local app data folder. You can find it if you open VisualCron->File->Manage folders->Click on Settings folder button.

Perhaps you can just copy that file to the new user?

The problem with copying the servers.xml file is that the user name and password are encrypted so either we all have the same user/password or it's not working.

That is exactly the purpose of my question. Can I create a script that would add accounts to servers ?

In the later versions you have active directory support so you can just enable a group that should be able to logon into VisualCron and all new users will automatically work.

Thanks for this info, but when I try to add a new user and in the AD search window I look for my group it's now finding any thing.

Should I use a diffrent screen than "Add a new user"

An other question, what is the algorithm used to crypt the server name, username and password ?

Is it a MD5 hash ?


Ex:

<ServerClass>
<Id>ffee3003-4a63-4f05-a509-a4024e427aae</Id>
<Server>LLghB8FKOpXPRpeP63GenQ==</Server>
<Port>16444</Port>
<Username>0MrOTTu4Wl9xh6AkmBRTIg==</Username>
<Password>NIAfrZolUs0gyjX02Wt0qA==</Password>

The users will be created automatically (when they login). Not it is not an MD5 hash. It is another encrypted string which you can't create yourself.


If you need detailed control how and when users are created you need to use the VisualCron API to create new users.

Ok for the API.

Regarding the AD functionality I don't understand how I actually add the AD group. (which menu)

Server tab->Server settings->Users
