more flexible sunray kiosk mode

Friday, June 13th, 2008

a short link for reminiscence reasons: check out the FLButselector package, a framework to make sun ray kiosk/cam mode more flexible, assigning per-token and per-dtu default applications.

here are the techspecs:

As of current release, you can do quite a lot by assigning applications not only to “correctly” registered tokens, but to DTUs as well - in 4 other combinations of authorization (no token, unregistered token, registered token without “piped” fields and registered token pointing to a missing program).

You can also use the “Disabled” checkmark for tokens (i.e. lost or stolen) and define the script’s default policy about unknown/missing tokens.

It has been developed and successfully used under Solaris 10 SRSS3.1 CAM and SRSS4 9/07 + patch Kiosk modes. Notes/patches welcome for other platforms.

you can fetch it at cos.ru or at the sunray-users subversion repository.
