Integrate join pop up as wizard page
Last modified: 2014-09-03 12:56:05 CEST
The join credentials are currently questioned by displaying a pop up. This doesn't look comfortable. It would be nicer if the wizard contains another page where join credentials are displayed. The page could also contain a checkbox whether the join process should be done. The change wouldn't have only optical benefits but also it would be simpler to implement a validation of the join credentials (because the dialog is currently shown after the validation of changes). E.g. a warning could be shown if the password is wrong (etc.) before the actual join process starts which would lead to an failed join progress which is a bad user experience.
Making the join process optional is also good because currently you are not able to start system-setup configuration when the master can not be reached (e.g. if you don't have network connection(/correct subnets,gateways) which you want to configure via system-setup).
Some ideas what could be checked in a validation: * DC master reachable and is UCS+master system * username, password ssh authentacation works * UCS version is higher/equal to current system * another object with the same MAC already exists
