[Sugar-devel] Sugar-Server enhancement

[Manash Raja]

Hello Jerry,

Thank you for your help. It worked! As you said, the _REGISTER_URL was
getting overridden by what was set in network control panel.

I am visiting IRC chat room through http://webchat.freenode.net/ in browser
as I am facing some troubles with clients due to my proxy enabled internet
connection. Hence, I am not able to stay logged in into IRC for long. Hence
apologize for the same. I am getting a Raspberry pi though to use openvpn
and then I can stay logged in for long :)

I will document the steps I went through for the setup in virtualbox if it
might help new developers.

Okay, so registration is done. What I find in cpsection/network/model.py is
that to clear the registration the schema org.sugarlabs backup-url is set
to blank in clear_registration() method. I am setting up another XS now to
register with. So is only the value in org.sugarlabs backup-url is specific
to a server? And of we can provide option to the user for the same, will it
solve the issue as it seems?
