New reports in version .54!

You can now create your own custom reports and make them available in BerryStats, version .54.

I will be working to make it possible to lock these down to unauthorized users, but if you don't have to worry about that, then give .54 a try!

.53 released

This change should take BerryStats out of beta...

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

LDAP authentication is on its way!

I'm working on the LDAP authentication (which seems to work just fine).

I will have two user groups (maybe three) that will be set up so they can get in and view/modify users on the BES server.


I just now need to add the capability to add/modify the settings for the LDAP authentication to the admin.asp page.

More user page goodness...

Additional BES User Admin Client options...

Now you can assign user to a group (page will query existing groups and present them in a drop down chooser) as well as assign an IT policy to a user (pre-populated drop down as well).

And yes, through the BB interface too! I will try to get some screenshots of the BB browser interface. I am still working on some layout idiosyncrasies when it comes to desktop vs. mobile browser.

Run resource kit commands via BlackBerry indterface

Excellent!

I've made the appropriate changes to the code, which now uses HTML forms to submit resource kit commands through BerryStats.

That means that you can:

• add new user
• delete existing user
• reset device password
• set activation password
• resend servicebook
• resend peer-to-peer key
• send PIN
• send Email
• view device applications
• view device modules
  
• set owner info

All through the BlackBerry browser!

Obviously, this is not a mobile screenshot, but you get an idea of how the new menu system works for Besuseradminclient.

Updated admin window

Note the ability to create a customized activation email. Also, you can see the TinyMCE (like FCKEditor) editor which allows some basic formatting. This comes through in the HTML based email.

Other notes:

• XML save feature has been changed drastically
• Haven't started on LDAP authentication yet
• Trying to add some more error checking and logging
  

Next up:

I will probably separate out Brent Grim's reporting to a new window rather than try to do everything within the confines of the new windowed-look of Berrystats. There will be a similar search interface, but you won't have 20 columns to contend with when looking at the summary of users that are returned via the search. The search feature will be more focused on returning a user that you will manipulate (and as such, see all of their relevant data anyway) rather than using a full-fledged report just to get at an account.

Reporting:

I think I will start working on a rudimentary reporting interface in general, which would allow you to bring in saved report criteria in the form of XML files.

Update: BerryStats is continuing...!

I have been working on revamping some of the code in BerryStats, and am focusing specifically on giving it the ability to work via the BlackBerry Browser interface. Basically, this involves converting some Javascript to form based executions.

Next up is making it Firefox compatible. Right now, it looks great in IE, but looks like hell in anything else. Sorry about that - :) The CS3 gods would smite me in a second if they knew what I was up to. Now, I am not a developer by nature, so don't yell at me just yet!

Finally, I will be working on an authentication method so it will validate to your AD structure or use a local password, etc. This might actually involve creating a secondary database to run alongside of the BlackBerry BesMgmt DB. I've been trying not to go this route to make the web app as light as possible, but it seems that this might be the best solution overall.

For the meantime, here's a teaser of the new interface:
