Citadel logo

If you would like to use the Citadel logo on your site, either because your site is 'powered by Citadel' or because you are listing Citadel among software packages you support, etc. then you can download the logo from here. Please use these images as is. In particular, we would appreciate it if you did not separate the icon from the name, as the logo is constituted by the two of them appearing together.

Instant Messaging & Chat Commands

CHAT (enter CHAT mode) This command functions differently from every other command in the system. It is used to implement multi-user chat. For this to function, a new transfer mode, called START_CHAT_MODE, is implemented. If a client does not support chat mode, it should never send a CHAT command!

Webcit Templating Engine

Wilfried Goesgens — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:00:22 -0500

Developing Templates If you run webcit with -T1, it will re-parse your template on every call, so you can instantly check back your edits. Note that it won't find new template files without a restart. In general an URL of the format will load yourtemplate.html from the static/t/ directory.

Commands that change the behavior of this Citadel System

Overall Configuration IGAB (Initialize Global Address Book) This command creates, or re-creates, a database of Internet e-mail addresses using the vCard information in the Global Address Book room. This procedure is normally run internally when the server determines it necessary, but is also provided as a server command to be used as a troubleshooting/maintenance tool. Only a system Aide can run the command. It returns OK on success or ERROR on failure.

Source Code

Required dependencies The Citadel system relies on the following libraries in order to provide its full set of functionality. (If you are using pre-built packages, or the Easy Install system, these libraries will be brought in for you automatically.)

I want to automate certain stuff with the citadel server. How would i do that?

Citadel speaks its own Protocol registered to IANA TCP Port 504. This protocol can be found on the Citadel Protocol Definition Page. You can either speak to your citadel server via TCP Port 504, or the citadel.sock UnixDomainSocket. Sendcommand can issue one privileged command at a time to citserver; Netcat is a proper tool, if you just want to pipe the output of a shellscript over to your Citadel server.

How can I install WebCit so it runs alongside Apache/Nginx on port 80 / 443?

Wilfried Goesgens — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:03:05 -0500

If you're using the .debs you can use their mechanics to achieve this. Reconfiguring the webcit package will give you the chance to change your current setup: dpkg-reconfigure citadel-webcit Apache WebCit contains its own standalone HTTP server, so if you're already running Apache on port 80, obviously you can't run WebCit there. The usual solution is to simply run WebCit on another port (port 2000 is the default, but it doesn't really matter).

Single sign-on with Citadel and Microsoft Active Directory

Art Cancro — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:51:42 -0500

Citadel has the ability to authenticate users against an external LDAP server. Two schemas are supported: the standard RFC 2307 POSIX compliant schema, and the completely non-standard Microsoft Active Directory schema. This knowledge base article covers the latter, which should work with any Active Directory server from Windows 2000 onward. We will be demonstrating it using Windows Server 2003.
