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
27For now, pykotme.cgi doesn't need any restriction.
28
29If you protect access to printquota.cgi or dumpykota.cgi with
30username+password authentication, the REMOTE_USER CGI environment variable
31is honored, so an user can only see his own datas, but not
32other users' datas. However, the special REMOTE_USER value 'root'
33is allowed an unrestricted access.
34
35If no username+password authentication takes place, then access
36is completely unrestricted.
37
38You must ensure that the user your web server runs as can read
39PyKota's pykota.conf configuration file. No read access to
40PyKota's pykotadmin.conf configuration file is necessary though.
41
42The web server doesn't need to be a print server nor a PyKota
43Storage Backend server, but it must contain a correctly configured
44PyKota installation.
