The Monitoring Client operates just like the standard VolanoChat Client, but it also provides the chat administrator with the options to Kick and Ban unwanted visitors.
The VolanoChat Monitoring Client is password protected. The password is
set by modifying the server.password
property in the server
properties.txt
file. See the section on
Server
Configuration for details.
Add the following applet tag to a web page. The
monitor
parameter must be set to
true
. This will enable monitoring capabilities on the VolanoChat
Client created from the Web page.
<applet codebase="http://hostname/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="Monitor's Room"> <param name="text" value="english.txt"> </applet>
When used with the correct password, the monitoring version allows you to
Kick users out of the VolanoChat Server or to Ban them permanently from
entering. The Ban function will add the visitor's IP address to the ban list.
The Ban list is purged each time
the server is restarted. To ensure that an IP address is always banned from the
server, refer to the
Access
Control directives in the Server Configuration section.
