Good day, I am rather new to OpenNebula, however was looking to create a portal in which I can build a custom front end UI to OpenNebula and using the XML-RPC API to carry out login authentication. I would like to request assistance in how this may work and if there are previous examples of such. I’m looking to cut down on the functionality that a user has access to as well such us only being able to create VMs and not have access to other aspects/features. Your help is highly appreciated. ---

Hello @Qaiss You can do all that kind of customization via [Sunstone yamls](https://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/deployment/sunstone_setup/suns_views.html). You can find [here](https://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/deployment/authentication_setup/index.html) all the documentation about all the authentication methods and how you can manage them. Best, Álex. ---

You can just make an Sunstone like server with Sinatra or Rails(if you would use Ruby too) and opennebula gem. Or same with Java or Golang, using ONe XML-RPC API clients for those ---

These are some good replies, however I am looking for a way to call upon opennebula through an external html developed site. Things like calls to display vms, edit vms, and so on. Plus the login process in which I have a personalized Login page built through HTML and CSS to allow end-users to access the specific features provided. ---

You can use OpenNebula XML-RPC API directly from your new website(which would be bad approach), or develop a middleware, that’s what we did to develop a custom web application for our customers, since we wanted to remove a lot, use our own auth system and integrate some features in to UI(such as backups which have nothing to do with ONe). ---

This sounds more like what I am looking for, would you happen to have examples on how you did it? ---

There are also xml-rpc api bindings for PHP [feldsam-inc/one-php - Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/feldsam-inc/one-php) ---
