• CipUX

CipUX is made up of several parts: on bottom is the LDAP server. On top of that, the LDAP abstraction layer CipUX::Storage can be found. The layer for handling generic CipUX objects comes afterwards: CipUX::Object. On the top the CipUX::Task module delivers daily administration task functions to different institutions: (1) The graphical CAT user interface. (2) The CipUX shell command line, and (3) the XML-RPC daemon.

CipUX interfaces:

CipUX-CAT-Web (CipUX Administration Tool)

• With the graphical user interface, you may perform several tasks without Linux knowledge (today CAT is a CGI based tool for Apache, but other versions may be developed effortlessly).
• With the Moodle plug-in (under development by the French team), even an inexperienced user can do the work of an administrator. It is available for CipUX 3.2.6 and CipUX 3.2.12

CipUX-Shell-Tasks

• There are over 242 CipUX command line task commands which may be used by a semi-experienced administrator. They may be used for creating new tasks, writing macros, or defining cron jobs.

• You can use cipux_task_client to access them.

CipUX/low level commands:

• These very powerful commands give access to every single value of the LDAP database for high skilled users, without needing expert LDAP knowledge.
• cipux_storage_client
• cipux_object_client

CipUX/XML-RPC daemon:

• Other applications may also use CipUX for administration tasks, even over the network, by using its remote procedure calls.
