stoney wiki: prov-wiki-mediawiki

Overview

This pages contains all necessary information one needs to know about the prov-wiki-mediawiki provisioning daemon. This daemon provisions the stoney wiki service according to what was requested in the self-service web interface. Changes performed on the web interface (for example creating a new stoney wiki service) will be written to the LDAP directory. The changes in the LDAP directory are spotted by the prov-wiki-mediawiki daemon, which then executes the appropriate action (for example creating directories and setting quota values for the new stoney wiki service) and change the LDAP again. This change in the LDAP can be made visible in the web interface. This way the user can see, that the new stoney wiki service is ready for use.
