A centralized password for XBMC clients
#1
Is there a way to have a centralized password for the Master User? I am going to build up the XBMC system with many clients, say 50+.
And they need to change the password everyday (one time password). If not centralized, we need to change the password one by one. Any clues?
Or other suggestions?

you could create a cron style script that pulls a new "master" version of profiles.xml from a network share. xbmc will need to be closed before you copy the new profile.xml otherwise xbmc will overwrite the changes when it exit/restarts, and it will need to restart to see the changes of that file.

Thanks for the advice. Just wondering how to create the encrypted password in profiles.xml. I am thinking of writing a bash/PHP script for generating the profiles.xml and send from the server over to clients individually as each client has its own password.

profiles.xml

Actually can XBMC login to the LDAP server for authenticating users? If so, it's more easily to maintain users.
Or must be system users?
