Clients

Go to top

 

Official IWTCMS CLI client

To launch an official client, type: python iwtcms_client.py --help

Unofficial IWTCMS GUI client by AXCWG

 

You also can download an official client if you go to the main page of server in the browser

SSL

Go to top

 

I will not tell you how to generate a certificate here, I will only tell you how to use it with IWTCMS. let's be brief

In the config file, we have ssl section:

// Other settings

# read more about setting ssl here: https://modrinth.com/mod/i-want-to-control-my-server
ssl {
  # use SSL: enabling SSL for embedded server, clients must connect with SSL or they can't send/receive any data. By default it's disabled(false) BUT highly recommended to enable(true) it and setup SSL connection.
  use SSL = false // boolean
  # custom Sertificate: if enabled IWTCMS won't generating new sertificate, instead it reads sertificates from config/iwtcms/keystore.jks
  custom Sertificate = false // boolean
  # Actually idk what do this shit, but alias must be entered here. Usually you use it for custom generated certificates. By default it's "iwtcms". You can read more here: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/123944/what-is-the-purpose-role-of-the-alias-attribute-in-java-keystore-files
  ssl Alias = "iwtcms" // string
  # sslPass: password for certificates, certs will be automaticly generated with this password or if you use any other certificates it will use pass to read it.
  ssl Pass = "keystorePassword" // string
}

// Other settings

In fact, everything is already written here in the comments, but I want to add:

use SSL - I always recommend enabling it even if you don't have generated certificate, if custom Sertificate disabled IWTCMS will generate new certificate every launch and SSL should work fine.

Btw if use SSL enabled non ssl connections disabled at all, you cant connect to it. Use https:// instead of http:// and wss:// instead of ws://

 

custom Sertificate - Just disables auto generation of certificates and instead in reads certificate from config/iwtcms/keystore.jks

 

ssl Alias and ssl Pass must match with alias and password in generated certificates

Users

Go to top

 

IWTCMS supports user profiles, very simple but useful

// Other settings

auth {
  # useAuthentication: enabling password for clients, client can't receive/send messages from/to server before login. By default it's disabled(false) BUT highly recommended to enable(true) it password.
  use Authentication = false // boolean

  # needs ONLY IF useAuthentication enabled
  # here you can configure users
  # you can add custom users or remove existing
  users : [ // list
    {
      # anonymous
      name : anonymous // string # do not change if you wanna keep permits for anonymous
      # password : anonymous # doesn't matter
      permits : {
        read real time logs : false // boolean
        read logs history : false // boolean
        execute commands : false // boolean
      }
    }
    {
      # admin
      name : admin // string
      password : iwtcms // string
      permits : {
        read real time logs : true // boolean
        read logs history : true // boolean
        execute commands : true // boolean
      }
    }
    {
      # guest
      name : guest // string
      password : guest // string
      permits : {
        read real time logs : true // boolean
        read logs history : false // boolean
        execute commands : false // boolean
      }
    }
  ]
}

// Other settings

The auth block in the config is responsible for all authentications

use Authentication - enables auth, if it disabled anyone can connect, listen, send commands, and any other shit with server with IWTCMS can do.

 

users - list of all users, there's no limits for users count

Every user has their own permits, False forbids action for user, True allows action.

If any permit is not defined, IWTCMS will use it analog from anonymous user.

If an anonymous user or anonymous permit doesn't exist, then follow this pattern: not defined? - forbidden

If a user does requests without cookies (without logining in), it uses permits from anonymous.

Anonymous didn't need password if his password exists, IWTCMS will ignore this password.

Api

Anchors for api:

Fan fact: IWTCMS follows REST API, cool yup?

https://127.0.0.1/apiList | ApiListGET

https://127.0.0.1/api/logsHistory | LogsHistoryGET

https://127.0.0.1/api/login | LoginPOST

https://127.0.0.1/api/permits/{username} | PermitsGET

wss://127.0.0.1/ws/console | WsConsole

Static files

This part of documentation written for developers who want to write their OWN client

Btw if written cool client you can open issue for promoting, if your client works well, your client can be added to About Clients as client or example code

Btw 2 if you need example of client look to About Clients and Official IWTCMS CLI client (written on python)

Fucking API (I'm already tired of writing this documentation, but I still need to write a whole chapter about Api)

Here as examples, I will use enabled SSL and localhost with port 25566 (127.0.0.1:25566), replace 127.0.0.1 with your ip, 25566 with your port and use appropriate prefixes for the appropriate protocols (see About SSL)

Let's start:

If you want to see all avail pages for requests (and websockets also), go to:

https://127.0.0.1/apiList

I'd recommend finding links in your clients here, names of pages unlikely to be changed, but urls can be changed (sorry but IWTCMS still WIP)

page name	type	response type	uses auth api (needs cookies)?	needs body
ApiListGET	GET	JSON	No	No

 

If you want to see the history of all logs since server launch, go to:

https://127.0.0.1/api/logsHistory

Returns list of all logs since server launch

page name	type	response type	uses auth api (needs cookies)?	needs body
LogsHistoryGET	GET	JSON	Yes	No

 

If you want to log in, go to:

https://127.0.0.1/api/login

Put to your request body JSON with username and password and get logged

body example:

{
    "username": "guest",
    "password": "guest"
}

page name	type	response type	uses auth api (needs cookies)?	needs body
LoginPOST	POST	Plain (Login successful / Login failed)	No (sets cookies)	Yes

 

If you want to see all permits of user, go to:

https://127.0.0.1/api/permits/{username}

replace "{username}" with the name of the user you want to learn permissions from

page name	type	response type	uses auth api (needs cookies)?	needs body
PermitsGET	GET	JSON	No	No

 

If you want to reach the server console, go to:

wss://127.0.0.1/ws/console

Main feature of IWTCMS, connect to websocket and get all logs! If you want to execute minecraft command, send command as plain text to server through websocket, and it will be executed by IWTCMS

page name	type	response type	uses auth api (needs cookies)?	needs body
WsConsole	Websocket	Websocket plain messages (logs)	Yes	No

 

Static files

Since IWTCMS integrates a real ktor web server, it hosts a lot of static files with it, here is their list:

file name	path	alternative paths	file type
style.css	/style.css		css
404.html	/404.html	any path witch not found (404)	html
index.html	/index.html	/	html
favicon.ico			ico
icon_clearbg.png	/ icon_clearbg.png		png
iwtcms_client.zip	/iwtcms_client.zip		zip
