Hi everyone,
I'm Jerin, working on a Kea Monitoring Dashboard (GUI) as part of GSoC
programme. Was hoping to receive your advice regarding the below-mentioned
queries and any other suggestions for the dashboard.
I wanted to know whether Kea provides an authentication mechanism since the
interface needs to access the server controls remotely. I believe this
functionality is absent from the API and CA, so I could use your advice on
how to go about it.
Also, I presume the leases statistics provided by the API covers complete
information for the entire server, or do I need to query the backend
databases/memfile separately.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Regards,
Jerin

=> no, the choice is to allow only local access (the idea is if someone
has root powers on the local system nothing can protect against him)
and to document ways to extend this to protected remote access
using nc/netcat for Unix sockets or any http/https common tools
for kea-shell (my favorite is stunnel but others work well too
and are documented).

=> the server provides complete statistics even (just merged) when
the backend is shared between two (or more) servers.
