New home for BerryStats!

I am moving my main page for BerryStats from www.vbshf.com to Google Sites. They have a really cool interface and dynamic way of creating various pages which seems to fit my needs quite well, allowing you to see more of the guts of the project as it progresses, including a more dynamic changelog, feature & enhancement list, and more!

Check it out here:

http://sites.google.com/site/berrystatsadmin/Home

This is where you will find the latest downloads from now on - I will update the link at the right accordingly!

0.52 uploaded: Setup.asp page + some updates!

.52 beta 8/13/08 newness:

  • Modified backend XML save/load function, should now update only the elements that changed, rather than delete/saving the file altogether.
  • Created 'setup.asp' page for first time installs, no more manual editing of configuration.xml!
  • Updated/fixed Domino view to include username and groupname - you must apply this new view!
  • Updated Exchange view to include username and groupname - you must apply this new view!
  • Updated lite.asp so that it would run the besuseradmin client with Domino username (if username was present). Need people to test this!

.52 beta fixes:

  • When exporting a spreadsheet to Excel, it opens up as an .asp file instead of .xls - this is because the downloaded file was not being declared as an XLS mime-type
  • menu drop down for licenses would show 1 more license than server status page
  • BB Browser will now redirect to index.asp after a successful logon
  • BlackBerry 8700g was showing no image - this is due to BES or BlackBerry reporting back as only 8700, new image created for 8700_small.jpg
  • Mail server was showing up as 'Exchange' server, now is 'Mail' server

    Self Service?

    I'm thinking of also including a self-service page for BlackBerry users so they can reset their own activation password (they can set everything else on the device easily enough, I think).

    What do you think?

    I realize that there is a Web Desktop Manager that RIM is offering, but this requires ActiveX installations on each client that runs it. I figured this would be a bit lighter.

    What other functions do you think should be included on a "Self Service" page?

    Issue: LDAP authentication needs a little work...

    Not to worry, you should be able to disable LDAP authentication in the meantime if this isn’t working for you.

     

    If you are experiencing problems with LDAP and can’t get logged in, enable ‘debug’ in the admin window.  When you try to log in, you should see an LDAP error like this:

     

    Error code: -2147217865

    Error description: Table does not exist.

     

    It appears that I need to add the ability to specify a user account to use when querying the AD structure for proper group membership.  I was wondering if this would come up…

     

    I’m working on the code today and tomorrow and hope to have something for you by Tuesday.

    Glitch with 0.5 download on 8/6/08: error in config.asp: strAuth

    I neglected to include the newest version of the configuration.xml file which included an 'Authentication' node, which causes the above error.

    I've since updated the zip download and included the file as an attachment in the main download post as well.

    Thanks to Jeremy Knight for finding that for me!
