Integration corner

Abstract

These lines are thought to provide a clear and efficent integration among different eBox modules. Therefore, it gives an efficent and orthogonal way to work. Here some topics will be listed in order to leave ideas of possible eBox modules integrations.

Network Object

Currently, in TCP/IP stack a machine is likely to have the following attributes:

Attributes	eBox Module
Physical Address (MAC)	DHCP
Logical Address (IP)	DHCP - DNS - Objects
Human Readable Address (Name)	DNS
Application Level -> Grouping	DNS - Objects

A cute integration of all of this could be great

Mail Virtual Domains and DNS

DNS provide MX records to allow MTA sends mails to the proper destination through its DNS usage. It could be great to allow at the creation of a DNS domain, set a mail virtual domain just setting a tick there.

HTTP proxy and users

dd As printers, file sharing and mail allows, support users and groups integration at HTTP proxy to provide rules per user. It brings different problems such as objects integration and rule application.
