| 20 | ==================================================================== |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | This directory contains CGI scripts which you may find useful to |
|---|
| 23 | put on a web server along with PyKota command line tools. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Be sure to restrict access to these CGI scripts as necessary. |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | For now, pykotme.cgi doesn't need any restriction. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | If you protect access to printquota.cgi or dumpykota.cgi with |
|---|
| 30 | username+password authentication, the REMOTE_USER CGI environment variable |
|---|
| 31 | is honored, so an user can only see his own datas, but not |
|---|
| 32 | other users' datas. However, the special REMOTE_USER value 'root' |
|---|
| 33 | is allowed an unrestricted access. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | If no username+password authentication takes place, then access |
|---|
| 36 | is completely unrestricted. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | You must ensure that the user your web server runs as can read |
|---|
| 39 | PyKota's pykota.conf configuration file. No read access to |
|---|
| 40 | PyKota's pykotadmin.conf configuration file is necessary though. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | The web server doesn't need to be a print server nor a PyKota |
|---|
| 43 | Storage Backend server, but it must contain a correctly configured |
|---|
| 44 | PyKota installation. |
