20====================================================================
21
22This directory contains CGI scripts which you may find useful to
23put on a web server along with PyKota command line tools.
24
25Be sure to restrict access to these CGI scripts as necessary.
26
27If you protect access to printquota.cgi or dumpykota.cgi with
28username+password authentication, the REMOTE_USER CGI environment variable
29is honored, so an user can only see his own datas, but not
30other users' datas. However, the special REMOTE_USER value 'root'
31is allowed an unrestricted access.
32
33If no username+password authentication takes place, then access
34is completely unrestricted.
35
36If you don't protect access to pykotme.cgi with username+password
37authentication, then only the job's size will be displayed
38to you. This is due to the cost of a print job on a particular printer
39depending on the user because of the overcharging factor's value.
40So if you want pykotme.cgi to produce complete web quotes, you must
41ensure that the user logs in from his web browser whenever he uses
42this CGI script.
43
44You must ensure that the user your web server runs as can read
45PyKota's pykota.conf configuration file. No read access to
46PyKota's pykotadmin.conf configuration file is necessary though.
47
48The web server doesn't need to be a print server nor a PyKota
49Storage Backend server, but it must contain a correctly configured
50PyKota installation.
