Re: [Opensim-dev] (CreateUser) Http Post

There have been no changes to the RemoteAdmin (standalone) XMLRPC createuser 
functionality.
However, I have heard an unconfirmed report that it is not working. Can anyone confirm/deny these? Chris, if this functionality is important to you I would also strongly recommend that you test your createuser code against 0.7.4 and current master and raise a bug report if appropriate.
There may be some confusion because 'createuser' refers to both the standalone RemoteAdmin facility and a ROBUST service call available on the private ROBUST service port (off by default). The ROBUST version was not available in 0.7.2 so you must be using RemoteAdmin.
These calls do the same thing but have largely different implementations. The RemoteAdmin version has some additional code that is meant to provide flexibility in setting up default avatars but I'm not sure this is working either.
In the long term, I don't think it makes sense to have both of these. The code would be more consistent and less complex if the service call was also available in the standalone configuration.
However, I believe this would require the service call to have more security. So I don't think it won't happen imminently - I would fully expect this to be available in OpenSimulator 0.7.5 and probably for a considerable time beyond (with the caveat above about whether it's currently working).

Hi Folks,

I've hesitated to say anything ... but frankly this thread has been
overwhelming: you've scared me!!!

I've used (will use again) the createUser functionality in my Agent-based
Models (based OS 0.7.2) AND it has worked just fine via C# program generated
calls from within OpenMetaverse.

Moreover, I plan to use the functionality again: since it is critical to the
success of my model's results.

Was the function changed in 0.7.3 - 0.7.4?

Worse, is this thread suggesting there will be "another" change (one
on-top-of another)?

Thanks for the responses, got that all resolved and setup, new issue now

is I have a web interface deal with renaming parcels. When I perform an
update to a parcel in the Land table it doesn't update the name in world.
When I change the name of the parcel in world it updates to the database
though. I have the opensim.ini use this database as the estate storage. Any
ideas?

With this particular scenario I've previously taken the approach of just
piggy-backing on the API exposed by diva's wifi module.

If you want to find out more about how to talk to the robust services,
take a look at OpenSim.Services.Connectors. If you're using .NET you
should be able to just reference that dll and use the connector
objects that already exist.

Changing the data in the Database directly in most cases require a
simulator restart. When shutting down a simulator it will however often
update the databse with old data, so you should do the changes while the
simulator is offline.

These kind of changes should best be done by the simulator which then
also sends a viewer update to the avatars already on the region. For
this one can use the RemoteAdmin module and add the new functions you

need.
