Monitor Interface

The monitor interface of the VolanoChat applet is created by setting the monitor parameter to true. The monitor interface looks like the applet shown below:

The applet tag which embeds the applet shown above is:

<applet codebase="vcclient"
        archive="COM/volano/VolanoChat.zip"
        code="COM.volano.VolanoChat.class"
        width="500" height="60">
<param name="cabbase" value="COM/volano/VolanoChat.cab">
<param name="monitor" value="true">
<param name="color"   value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="group"   value="Welcome to Volano!">
<param name="text"    value="english.txt">
</applet>

The monitor password is defined by the server.password VolanoChat server property. The monitor interface prompts for the monitor password directly on the Web page. This interface operates just like the standard VolanoChat applet but adds the additional capabilities of removing a visitor from a chat room, kicking a visitor off the server, or permanently banning a visitor from the server.

The ban function will add the visitor's Internet Protocol (IP) address to the list of banned host computers. The ban list is purged each time the server is restarted. To ensure that an IP address is always banned from the server, add the address to the list of denied hosts in the access control file. See the Access Control section for more information.
