Waiting For Caller (WFC)

The Waiting For Caller (WFC) Module

The wfc.js module provides a Waiting For Caller (WFC) type dashboard from a bygone era. Many traditional features are available including newer concepts for modern times. Node spy is left out as it feels like something that should be left in the past.

WFC

Accessing the WFC

By default, the WFC may be accessed via the !WFC main menu command when connected over a secure connection via a user with the proper ACS. This can be configured as per any other menu in the system. Note that ENiGMA½ does not expose the WFC as a standalone application as this would be much less flexible. To connect locally, simply use your favorite terminal or for example: ssh -l yourname localhost 8889. See Security below for more information.

Security

The system allows any user with the proper security to access the WFC / system operator functionality. The security policy is enforced by ACS with the default of SCAF2ID1GM[wfc], meaning the following are true:

  1. Securely Connected (such as SSH or Secure WebSocket, but not Telnet)
  2. Auth Factor 2+. That is, the user has 2FA enabled.
  3. User ID of 1 (root/admin)
  4. The user belongs to the wfc group.

:information_source: Due to the above, the WFC screen is disabled by default as at a minimum, you’ll need to add your user to the wfc group. See also Security for more information on keeping your system secure!

To change the ACS required, specify a alternative acs in the config block. For example:

mainMenuWaitingForCaller: {
    config: {
        // initial +op over secure connection only
        acs: SCID1GM[sysops]
    }
}

:lock: ENiGMA½ will enforce ACS of at least SC (secure connection)
