[Server-devel] thoughts on registering SoaS with an XS and moodle integration
Hello, I would like to ask what the plan is for allowing Sugar running on hardware other than an XO to register with an XS. I had a quick look at /usr/bin/registration-server in the XS and schoolserver.py in a Sugar installation and I was able to trick the XS into registering an SoaS by modifying schoolserver.py on the SoaS. I removed the part of the code that checks for the XO information and modified the def that handles registration to send randomly generated strings for serial and UUID instead. I guess it's really not that hard to do but it would be nice to have an accepted way of doing it. For instance, maybe we could modify schoolserver.py to generate a serial and UUID if Sugar is not on an XO laptop instead of saying the required info is not present. Also, how is moodle integration coming along. Is there documentation somewhere with details on how this will be achieved ? Will this involve modifying registration-server or ejabberd ? Thanks in advance. Best, Hamilton ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

The only requirement is that serial numbers be unique. Generating that in a script can be challenging. Perhaps a one way hash of the MAC address ? But MAC addresses are only unique to one media.
