#include <ArServerBase.h>
Inheritance diagram for ArServerBase:
Data request callbacks are added to an ArServerBase object by calling addData().
This class takes care of locking in its own function calls so you don't need to worry about locking and unlocking the class before you do things.
The counterpart of this class for clients is ArClientBase.
You can require user names and passwords for making connections to the server, so each user has a set of permissions for different command groups. To do this, load configuration from a userInfo file with loadUserInfo(). You can log the user info (and what commands users have) with logUserInfo(). You can log the command groups with logCommandGroups() or logCommandGroupsToFile(). For a description of the file see ArServerUserInfo. There is also an example in ArNetworking/examples/serverDemo.userInfo.
In addition to the user and password requirement you can set a server "key" (a special string of text) required (in addition to user and password) to access the server with setServerKey(), though this is ONLY used if user and password information is requied (so that older clients can connect if there's no user and password information required).
The way that the passwords are transmitted across the network is this: Upon connection the server sends a randomly generated (for that connection) string of text to the client which we'll call the passwordKey. The client then combines the serverKey (a string which must be known to connect to the server at all), the password, and the passwordKey (that string that is generated uniquely for each connection) and comes up with an md5 of that string and sends that md5 value across the line. The server then compares the md5 from the client with the md5 generated with the correct information on the server... if they match the password is good, otherwise it rejects the connection. This is NOT perfect security but should be much better then plaintext. If you care about perfect security then use an ssh tunnel with something like PUTTY from the machine the client is on to the machine the server is on with an openssh server set up (this'll likely even work in windows with cygwin) and set up a firewall on the machine the server is on that disallows port the server port connection from outside and only allows ssh from outside (and get a book or three and read those).
This class now handles identifiers for the ArServerClients... all server bases will let a client set a self identifier string, and a here goal... those may be used by any server. Messages can be sent to just server clients that match that message (so that its easier to send messages to people who sent commands).
Master servers (the main connection server base on the central server) can also give each connection an id number (with identGetConnectionID). Things that then connect to the other server bases on a master server (slave servers) should then set their ConnectionID (with identSetConnectionID) so that things can relate the different connections together.
