Web-based Laboratory Network Management System that Integrates Multiple Servers

摘要

There are some tools that help system administrators administer machines and networks using graphical user interface and Web interface. This paper presents a Web-based system that automates some processes to connect machines to a network, create accounts, mount remote home directories, set mailing lists, and so on by cooperating with multiple servers, and describes its implementation. By introducing this novel system, a lot of task has been reduced compared with the conventional administrative tasks, and it has become easier for users to create and change their own accounts and connect their machines to the network without login.
