| 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 | If you protect access to printquota.cgi with user+password |
|---|
| 28 | authentication, the REMOTE_USER CGI environment variable |
|---|
| 29 | is honored, so an user can only see his own quota report, but |
|---|
| 30 | not other users' quota. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | To make dumpykota.cgi work, you have to ensure that your web server |
|---|
| 33 | runs it as a PyKota administrator. This means that dumpykota.cgi |
|---|
| 34 | when run must be able to read the pykotadmin.conf file. There are |
|---|
| 35 | several ways to do so, one of them is to put the user your web |
|---|
| 36 | server normally runs as into the pykota group (which must be allowed |
|---|
| 37 | to read pykotadmin.conf), then restart your web server : |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | $ adduser www-data pykota |
|---|
| 40 | $ /etc/init.d/apache restart |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | This is probably not the safest way though, so you may want to |
|---|
| 43 | restrict access further with an username and password, or use |
|---|
| 44 | Apache's suExec mechanism to directly run this particular |
|---|
| 45 | script as the pykota system user. Please refer to your web |
|---|
| 46 | server's documentation for details. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | The web server doesn't need to be a print server nor a PyKota |
|---|
| 49 | Storage Backend server, but it must contain a correctly configured |
|---|
| 50 | PyKota installation. |
