Customizable action buttons in VISULOX Cockpit / Objects

A customizable action for example is selecting a user in VISULOX Cockpit / Objects / Users and start a shell script to reset the password of the selected user.

There are 5 buttons for which an individual script can be set. These buttons can be arranged individually on the VISULOX Cockpit / Objects pages for users, groups and applications (other GUI parts on request).

Each button needs four elements:

Configuration parameters in VISULOX

visulox config -name vlxgui.buttonscript.0="do-users:Remove:Remove user from Datasource:single"
visulox config -name vlxgui.buttonscript.1="do-users:Reset:Reset password:single"

Button script

A template is available: /opt/visulox/tools/buttonscript.sh.template

This template should be renamed to buttonscript.sh.

Notes on the buttonscript:

• When the button is pressed, /opt/visulox/tools/buttonscript.sh is called.

• The script has the VLX parameters of the selection.

• The script has the calling user data.

• The script has the button index.

• The script can have an error code and an text on stdout. This is presented to the user in the GUI.

• The script runs with "vlx" ID (not with transit vlx id).
