ISPManCCP 0.0.1alpha1

Customer Control Pannel for ISPMan

ISPManCCP is a customer control panel to use with ISPMan.

It’s the alternative to the deprecated customer control panel included with ISPMan.

Current features

Disallow changes by Locked domains.

Change Domain Password:

• Enforce passwords with a minimum six char’s length(configurable);

• Enforce at least two numbers in the password(configurable);

• Make sure a user is not using a word from a dictionary(words file can be setup, for example, the cracklib file);

Edit User Accounts:

• No remote mail aliases are allowed, ie, only aliases for the same domain;

• Email forwards are checked for valid DNS MX records;

• No underscores nor numbers are allowed for first and last names;

• Change mail quota;

• Change FTP quota and status;

Delete User Accounts.

Create User Accounts:

• Makes sure a domain can create any more accounts;

• Security restrictions are about the same as the imposed above.

Note: Mailgroup’s support is not available on this release, probably next one.

Download and Installation

The one thing ISPManCCP can’t do for you is install python-ldap and pyDNS, but most distributions can provide that for you.

NOTE: If you choose not to install pyDNS, the only that will happen is that email forwarding addresses will not be checked for a valid DNS MX record. python-ldap on the other hand is required and will make setup fail if not present on your system.

After python-ldap and pyDNS is installed, ISPManCCP can then be installed with Easy Install by typing:

> easy_install ISPManCCP

Make a config file as follows:

> paster make-config ISPManCCP config.ini

Tweak the config file as appropriate.

Serve the application

You can serve the application with paster by typing:

> paster serve config.ini

Since most ISPMan installations will already have apache installed, you can opt by having apache proxy requests to/from paster.

I find this the ideal setup because I can just run paster with a specific user and group(one with permissions to read from the ISPMan installation and still user port 80.

A minimal apache vhost configuration example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName ccp.domain.tld
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    <Location />
        SetHandler None
        ProxyPass http://localhost:5000
        ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5000
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

And that’s about it.
