I am new to BOINC, experimenting with the Server Install. I successfully installed the server but is having problems accessing the admin pages using my browser. The following message is dsplayed:

Unable to handle request

To allow access to admin pages, you must define a function auth_ops() in html/project/project.inc that specifies your access control policy.

The error says what you have to do, and even gives you a link to the relevant documentation...

Yes, but IMHO this is a bug. There should be a default policy, which allows only special users of class "admin" in to those pages, and a hook called project_auth_ops() which can be used to override. A new project admin should not have to stop to write the policy code to get started. This is ticket-worthy.
