This project is a rewrite of the ISPMan project.

ISPMan was written in 2000 because at that there was no other project to do what we wanted to do.

Lot of things have changed since then. There are exciting new technologies, new products and installation of complex projects have become easy

This new project will do all that ISPMan does and more. This time we have something to use as example so the project will be much more structured.

DEMO See links on the right panel To login to the demo use the username admin@localhost and password secret

ISPDirector will provide multiple interfaces to multiple roles.

• CLI interface to administrators.
• Web interface to administrators/resellers/customers
• URL based like interface to developers/tools with output in multiple formats (JSON, Serialized php, xml, etc)

The application design will be done with all the experince gained in the isp industry and with all the mistakes that we have made (so you dont have to) and learned from.

Things will be kept simple.

For example we will use MySQL as the main storage backend. Where LDAP is needed, the data will be generated as required.

The project is open source and will be available in

• Source code format (svn, tarballs)
• Virtual appliance(s) (Xen, Vmware)
• Hardware appliance(s)
• Perhaps a hosted version as an experiment
