[Feature Request] Independent login and password for Multi Server Setup

Hello,

I'd like to ask you about an implementation of independent login(-s) and password(-s) for Multi Server Setup.

With separate logins and passwords for Multi Server Setup, we could offer Secondary DNS based on directadmin to our customers (VPS/Dedicated servers). It's not secure to give admin password to set up a Multi Server.

Regards,
Alex.

Hello,

Without needing to write a new system for it, you can do it with the all_pre.sh:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=150

I obviously wouldn't rely on this for giving out the "admin2" user/pass to the general public.. it would be more for other boxes that connect to yours where you don't want the world to end if the other password got out.

Beyond that, (future brainstorming), something like:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/commands.allow
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/commands.deny

would be good too, but would be the same idea, just cleaner.

Don't forget that things like email, and ftp still exist for "admin2" to use, so you'd want to stomp them as well, where possible (if needed).

In any case, you'd know who is running what since you gave them the user/pass.. so they're "not likely" to abuse it.

Hello John,

Thanks, I've never used more than one admin, so it's right time to try it.

And I like your idea with:

Beyond that, (future brainstorming), something like:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/commands.allow
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/commands.deny

Click to expand...

I think that will be good enough.

Alex.
