Description Dirk Wiesenthal univentionstaff 2014-09-29 11:30:20 CEST
The central app center administration currently does not allow to "Open" the app on another server if this would mean to open a UMC module.

Two issues with openRemoteSession which should be used by the App Center:

 * It does not return the new window so that one could open the UMC module remotely. The window would have to be returned app.on('loaded'). Alternatively (maybe easier and also handles the case when no new window is opened but the very same window is used) one should be allowed to pass at least the query-string (?module=$app_module).
 * openRemoteSession checks the hostname in the backend prior to sso. This makes sense but it does not work when trying to open a host by its IP address. In this case the backend function should search LDAP for the IP and check against this host's name.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #35781 +++

It should be possible to use one App Center UMC module to administrate the installed Apps in the domain. I think it should be possible to disable this feature via UCR and should should be enabled by default on all DC masters and DC backups.

The following things should be possible with the central App Center module:
 - show installation status of an App (on which host)
 - installation/uninstallation/update of an App on the local host or on a remote host

When this is fixed. One also needs to update appcenter/AppInstallationsItem.js (canOpen() and open()) and fix the lines with "Bug 36016" comments

The functionality would be also good for Bug #32872.
