This is a place to start discussing peoples desires/needs for a Hyrax Administrators Interface (HAI).

Background

The Hyrax Administrators Interface allows the administrator to perform debugging,

Definitions

Administrator

The administrator is the human that operates the HAI.

User

The user is a human that uses client software such as Kepler, Matlab OPeNDAP Ocean Toolbox, a web browser, and others to make requests (HTTP, SOAP, etc.) of the Hyrax server.

Use Cases

The administrator uses the HAI to:

1. Turn on/off OLFS debugging and view/save(/stream?) the output.
2. Turn on/off BES debugging and view/save(/stream?) the output.
3. Compare Server output with debugging associated with the request.
4. Check logs.

Design

Required features

1. Secure (SSL?) login and sessions.
2. Log viewing.
3. Debug control.
4. User access control? What does that look like?
