Revision 2032, 1.8 kB (checked in by jalet, 20 years ago)

Now dumpykota.cgi behaves like printquota.cgi wrt the REMOTE_USER environment
variables if the script is username+password protected.
Small fix in printquota.cgi wrt ldap auth with Apache : the workaround was
not used everywhere.

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
36You must ensure that the user your web server runs as can read
37PyKota's pykota.conf configuration file. No read access to
38PyKota's pykotadmin.conf configuration file is necessary though.
39
40The web server doesn't need to be a print server nor a PyKota
41Storage Backend server, but it must contain a correctly configured
42PyKota installation.
