1# PyKota sample configuration file
2#
3#
4# File format :
5#
6#   - A mandatory [global] section :
7#
8#     Contains configuration directives which apply for all printers.
9#     Some directives MUST be set in the [global] section, e.g.
10#     database related directives.
11#
12#   - Any number of optional [PrintQueueName] sections :
13#
14#     Contain directives which apply for a particular print queue only.
15#
16#     Override the values of the same directives present in [global].
17#
18#
19# Directives format :
20#
21#   - Directive's name, followed by ':' followed by the directive's value.
22#
23#   - No leading whitespace : leading whitespace tell the parser that the
24#     current directive is the continuation of the previous one. Use with
25#     care and only when you need it.

49# Storage backend for quotas
50# only PGStorage (PostgreSQL) and LDAPStorage (OpenLDAP) are supported.
51# MySQL and BerkeleyDB are planned.
52
53# the 'postgresql' value is deprecated, use 'pgstorage' instead.
54storagebackend: pgstorage
55
56# Quota Storage Server hostname (and optional port)
57# e.g. db.example.com:5432
58storageserver: localhost
59
60#
61# name of the Quota Storage Database
62storagename: pykota
63
64#
65# Quota Storage normal user's name and password
66# These two fields contain a username and optional password
67# which may give readonly access to your print quota database.
68#
69# PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS USER CAN'T WRITE TO YOUR PRINT QUOTA
70# DATABASE, OTHERWISE ANY USER WHO COULD READ THIS CONFIGURATION
71# FILE COULD CHANGE HIS PRINT QUOTA.
72#
73storageuser: pykotauser
74# storageuserpw: Comment out if unused, or set to Quota Storage user password
75
76# Should the database caching mechanism be enabled or not ?
77# If unset, caching is disabled. Possible values Y/N/YES/NO
78# caching mechanism works with both PostgreSQL and OpenLDAP backends
79# but may be really interesting only with OpenLDAP.
80#
81# ACTIVATING CACHE MAY CAUSE PRECISION PROBLEMS IN PRINT ACCOUNTING
82# IF AN USER PRINTS ON SEVERAL PRINTERS AT THE SAME TIME.
83# YOU MAY FIND IT INTERESTING ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY FOR LDAP.
84#
85# FYI, I ALWAYS SET IT TO YES !
86#
87storagecaching: No
88
89# Should full job history be disabled ?
90# If unset or set to No, full job history is kept in the database.
91# This will be useful in the future when the report generator
92# will be written.
93# Disabling the job history can be useful with heavily loaded
94# LDAP servers, to not make the LDAP tree grow out of control.
95# Disabling the job history with the PostgreSQL backend works too
96# but it's probably less useful than with LDAP.
97disablehistory: No
98
99# LDAP example, uncomment and adapt it to your own configuration :
100#storagebackend: ldapstorage
101#storageserver: ldap://ldap.librelogiciel.com:389
102#storagename: dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
103#storageuser: cn=notadmin,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
104#storageuserpw: abc.123
105#
106# TLS support for LDAP
107#
108# ldaptls can be set to either Yes or No
109# the default value when not set is No, meaning that TLS won't be used.
110#ldaptls: No
111#
112# cacert points to the CA Certificate file to use for TLS.
113# Ensure that every user who can launch PyKota commands can read this file.
114# There's NO default value for this directive.
115#cacert /etc/pykota/mycertfile
116#
117#
118# Here we define some helpers to know where
119# to plug into an existing LDAP directory
120#userbase: ou=People,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
121#userrdn: uid
122#balancebase: ou=People,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
123#balancerdn: uid
124#groupbase: ou=Groups,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com

129#lastjobbase: ou=LastJobs,ou=PyKota,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
130
131# These two fields are special, they either accept a branch
132# dn, like an ou for example, or the special keywords 'user'
133# and 'group'. If 'user' or 'group' is used, the print quota
134# entries will be created below the user or group entry itself,
135# which will then be used like a branch (you can mix and match
136# different values depending on what you want to do).
137#userquotabase: user
138#userquotabase: ou=UQuotas,ou=PyKota,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
139#groupquotabase: group
140#groupquotabase: ou=GQuotas,ou=PyKota,dc=librelogiciel,dc=com
141
142#
143# How to create new accounts and groups
144# authorized values are "below" and "attach(objectclass name [, fail|warn])"
145#
146# "below" creates the new accounts/groups as standalone entries
147# below the above defined 'userbase' ou
148#
149# attach(objectclass name [, action]) tries to find some existing user/group
150# using the above defined 'userrdn' or 'grouprdn' and 'userbase'
151# 'groupbase', and attach the PyKota specific entries to it.
152# if action is "warn" and no entry exists to attach to, a new
153# entry is created, and a message is logged.
154# if action is "fail" and no entry exists to attach to, program
155# logs an error message and aborts.
156# if action is not set, the default value is "fail".
157#
158# a possible value:  newuser: attach(posixAccount, warn)
159#newuser : below
160#newgroup : below
161#
162# LDAP attribute which stores the user's email address
163#usermail : mail
164
165#
166# Choose what attribute contains the list of group members
167# common values are : memberUid, uniqueMember, member
168#groupmembers: memberUid
169
170# Activate low-level LDAP cache yes/no
171# Nothing to do with "storagecaching" which is higher level
172# and database independant.
173# This saves some search queries and may help with heavily
174# loaded LDAP servers.
175# This is EXPERIMENTAL.
176#
177# BEWARE : SETTING THIS TO 'YES' CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR NOW
178# BETTER TO LET IT SET TO 'NO'
179# ldapcache: no
180
181# Where to log ?
182# supported values : stderr, system (system means syslog, but don't use 'syslog' here)
183# if the value is not set then the default SYSTEM applies.
184logger: system
185
186# Enable debugging ? Put YES or NO there.
187# debug is set to yes in this sample
188# configuration file, so debugging is activated
189# when configuring PyKota. After all works, just
190# put NO instead to save some disk space in your
191# logs.
192debug : Yes
193
194# Mail server to use to warn users
195# If the value is not set then localhost is used.
196smtpserver: localhost
197
198# Crash messages' recipient : in addition to the log files
199# each software crash can be sent to the author of PyKota
200# or any other person of your choice. By default this
201# is disabled. The recipient pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com
202# reaches PyKota's author.
203# The 'adminmail' (defined a bit below) is CCed.
204#
205# Privacy concerns : what is sent is only :
206#
207#        - a copy of the software's traceback
208#        - a copy of the software's command line arguments
209#        - a copy of the software's environment variables
210#
211# suggested value
212# crashrecipient: pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com
213
214# Email domain
215# If the value is not set, and the mail attribute for the user
216# is not set in the PyKota storage, be it LDAP (see usermail directive
217# above) or PostgreSQL, then email messages are sent to
218# username@smtpserver
219#
220# If the value is set, then email messages are sent to
221# username@maildomain using the SMTP server defined above
222#
223# Set the appropriate value below, example.com set as per RFC2606.
224maildomain: example.com
225
226# Should we force usernames to be all lowercase when printing ?
227# Default is No.
228# This is a global option only.
229# Some people reported that WinXP sends mixed case usernames
230# setting 'utolower: Yes' solves the problem.
231# Of course you have to use lowercase only when adding
232# users with edpykota, because ALL database accesses are
233# still case sensitive.
234#
235# If utolower is Yes, the usernames received from the printing
236# system is converted to lowercase at the start of the cupspykota
237# backend or of the lprngpykota filter.
238#
239# If utolower is No, which is the default, strict case checking
240# is done, this means that users 'Jerome' and 'jerome' are
241# different. Printer and groups names are ALWAYS case sensitive.
242utolower: No
243
244# Should we split usernames on a specific separator when printing ?
245# Default is No, i.e. if the value is unset.
246# This is a global option only.
247# This option adds support for Samba's Winbind utility, which
248# prefixes usernames with domain name and separator character.
249# Of course if you set this then you have to use NO separator when
250# adding users with edpykota.
251#
252# If winbind_separator is set, the usernames received from the printing
253# system are split on the separator's value, and only the last part
254# (real username) is used.
255#
256# If winbind_separator is not set, which is the default, strict
257# username equality checking will be done (modulo the setting
258# of the 'utolower' directive), this means that users 'DOMAIN1/jerome',
259# 'Domain2/jerome' and 'jerome' are different.
260# winbind_separator: /
261
262# When creating users or groups accounts, should we reject users
263# or groups which are unknown from the system ?
264# The default if unset is NO. This means that by default, you
265# can create users or groups for which `getent passwd username`
266# or `getent group groupname` returns nothing.
267#
268# Allowed values : Yes | No
269# Default value : No
270#
271# reject_unknown: No
272
273# Do we want to hide jobs' title, filename and options for privacy
274# reasons ?
275# This may be required in some countries (Italy comes to mind).
276# Allowed values are YES and NO.
277# If unset, the default value is NO, meaning that jobs' title, filename
278# and options will be saved into the history.
279# This option can't be set on a per printer basis, only into the
280# [global] section.
281privacy : no
282
283# What is the accounting backend to use
284#
285# supported values :
286#
287#    - hardware : asks the printer for its lifetime page counter
288#                 via either SNMP, AppleTalk, or any external
289#                 command. This method is the recommended one
290#                 in PyKota since its beginning.
291#
292#                 In the lines below "%(printer)s" is automatically replaced
293#                 at run time with your printer's Fully Qualified Domain Name
294#                 for network printers, if PyKota can extract it from its
295#                 environment.
296#                 e.g. myprinter.example.com
297#
298#         Recommended values :
299#
300#             accounter: hardware(snmp)
301#
302#               Extracts the printer's internal page counter via SNMP.
303#
304#         Or :
305#
306#             accounter: hardware(pjl)
307#
308#               Extracts the printer's internal page counter via PJL queries over port tcp/9100.
309#
310#         Other Examples :
311#         
312#             accounter: hardware(/usr/bin/snmpget -v1 -c public -Ov %(printer)s mib-2.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 | cut -f 2,2 -d " ")
313#         
314#         Another untested example, using npadmin :
315#         
316#             accounter: hardware(/usr/bin/npadmin --pagecount %(printer)s)
317#         
318#         Another example, for AppleTalk printers which works fine :
319#         (You may need the pap CUPS backend installed, and copy the
320#         pagecount.ps file from untested/netatalk into /etc or any
321#         appropriate location)
322#         
323#             accounter: hardware(/usr/share/pykota/papwaitprinter.sh "MyPrinter:LaserWriter@*" && /usr/bin/pap -p "MyPrinter:LaserWriter@*" /usr/share/pykota/pagecount.ps  2>/dev/null | /bin/grep -v status | /bin/grep -v Connect | /usr/bin/tail -1)
324#         
325#         An example for parallel printers like the HP Laserjet 5MP :
326#         
327#             accounter: hardware(/bin/cat /usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pjl >/dev/lp0 && /usr/bin/head -2 </dev/lp0 | /usr/bin/tail -1)
328#         
329#         This value can be set either globally or per printer or both.
330#         If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
331#         
332#         Some examples and comments provided by Bob Martel from csuohio.edu
333#         
334#         For several printers I could not get the page count using snmpget.  I
335#         resorted to snmpwalk:
336#         
337#             accounter: hardware(/opt/local/net-snmp/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -Cc -c public %(printer)s | grep mib-2.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 | cut -d " " -f4)
338#         
339#         The last example is still more ugly, some of the printers only provided
340#         their counters without names, but at least always on the same line:
341#         
342#             accounter: hardware(/opt/local/net-snmp/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -Cc -c public -Ov %(printer)s | grep Counter32 | tail -2 | head -1 | cut -d " " -f2)
343#         
344#         An example using netcat and a preformatted PJL job which you can find
345#         in the untested/pjl directory, which is sent to a JetDirect print
346#         server on port 9100 :
347#         
348#             accounter: hardware(/bin/nc -w 2 %(printer)s 9100 </usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pjl | /usr/bin/tail -2)
349#         
350#         An example using the contributed pagecount.pl script which does
351#         the same as above, but should work on more printers :
352#         
353#             accounter: hardware(LC_ALL=C /usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pl %(printer)s 9100)
354#         
355#         NB : the LC_ALL=C is used because sometimes Perl can correctly set locale and is verbose
356#              about it, causing PyKota to miss the correct answer.
357#
358#         WARNING : In any case, when using an hardware accounter, please test the command line outside
359#                   of PyKota before. This will save you some headaches in case it doesn't work as expected.
360#         
361#         The waitprinter.sh is there to wait until the printer is idle again.
362#         This should prevent a job to be sent to the printer while another one is
363#         not yet finished (not all pages are printed, but the complete job is in
364#         the printer)
365#         
366#   YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE SURE YOU HAVE A SCRIPT WHICH WAITS FOR THE
367#   PRINTER BEING READY BEFORE ASKING FOR ITS INTERNAL PAGE COUNTER.
368#         
369#   PYKOTA INCLUDES SUCH SCRIPTS FOR SNMP AND APPLETALK PRINTERS, MORE TO COME
370#
371#   SOME OF THE ABOVE EXAMPLES DON'T USE SUCH A SCRIPT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
372#
373#
374#   WITH THE SPECIAL MAGIC hardware(snmp) AND hardware(pjl) VALUES, PYKOTA
375#   TAKES CARE OF ALL THIS FOR YOU, SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS PREFERABLE
376#   TO USE THESE TWO METHODS : THEY WORK FINE, REQUIRE LITTLE TO NO CPU,
377#   AND DO ALL THE HARD WORK AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU REALLY NEED TO YOU CAN USE
378#   YOUR OWN EXTERNAL COMMANDS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, JUST BE CAREFUL WITH THIS.
379#         
380#
381#    - software : delegates the job's size computation to any
382#                 external command of your choice.
383#
384#                 best choice for this is probably to set it
385#                 this way :
386#
387#                   accounter: software()
388#
389#                 which uses PyKota's internal parser to compute
390#                 the size of the job.
391#
392#                 You could obtain exactly the same result with :
393#
394#                   accounter: software(/usr/bin/pkpgcounter)
395#
396#                 But in this case the job would be passed through
397#                 PyKota's internal parser a second time.
398#
399#                 pkpgcounter is a command line tool which is
400#                 part of PyKota and which can handle both
401#                 DSC compliant or binary PostScript, PCL5, PCL6 (aka PCLXL)
402#                 and PDF documents. More file formats will be added
403#                 in the future, as time permits.
404#
405#                 while pkpgcounter is the recommended value if you want
406#                 to use an external command here, you can use whatever
407#                 command you want provided your command accepts the job's
408#                 data on its standard input and prints the job's size in
409#                 pages as a single integer on its standard output.
410#
411# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
412# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
413#
414# accounter: hardware(/usr/share/pykota/waitprinter.sh %(printer)s && /usr/bin/snmpget -v1 -c public -Ov %(printer)s mib-2.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 | cut -f 2,2 -d " ")
415# accounter: hardware(snmp)
416# accounter: hardware(pjl)
417# accounter: software(/usr/bin/pkpgcounter)
418#
419# The following, software without any argument, works since PyKota 1.21
420# and uses PyKota's internal parser.
421accounter: software()
422
423# What should we do if the accounter's subprocess doesn't return
424# a valid result (for example doesn't return an integer on its stdout)
425#
426# Valid values are : 'continue' and 'stop'. 'stop' is the default
427# if unset.
428#
429# 'continue' means try to process as usual, this may introduce
430# accounting errors and free jobs. This was the default behavior
431# until v1.20alpha5.
432#
433# 'stop' means fail and stop the print queue. If an accounter
434# error occurs, most of the time this is a misconfiguration, so
435# stopping the print queue is usually the better thing to do
436# until the admin has fixed the configuration.
437#
438# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
439# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
440#
441# NB : This directive shouldn't do much now because in case
442# of external accounter error, PyKota just loops.
443#
444# onaccountererror: continue
445onaccountererror: stop
446
447# Print Quota administrator
448# These values can be set either globally or per printer or both.
449# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
450# If these values are not set, the default admin root
451# and the default adminmail root@localhost are used.
452admin: John Doe
453adminmail: root@localhost
454
455#
456# Who should we send an email to in case a quota is reached ?
457# possible values are : DevNull, User, Admin, Both, External(some command)
458# The Both value means that the User and the Admin will receive
459# an email message.
460# The DevNull value means no email message will be sent.
461# This value can be set either globally or per printer or both.
462# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
463# If the value is not set, then the default BOTH applies.
464#
465#   Format of the external syntax :
466#
467#       mailto: external(/usr/bin/mycommand >/dev/null)
468#
469#   You can use :
470#
471#       '%(action)s'            will contain either WARN or DENY
472#       '%(username)s'          will contain the user's name
473#       '%(printername)s'       will contain the printer's name
474#       '%(email)s'             will contain the user's email address
475#       '%(message)s'           will contain the message if you want
476#                               to use it.
477#
478#   On your command line, to pass arguments to your command.

487#
488#   NB : I use ISO-8859-15, but Windows expects UTF-8, so we pipe the message
489#        into iconv before sending it to the Windows user.

493#       mailto: external(/usr/share/pykota/mailandpopup.sh %(username)s %(printername)s "%(email)s" "%(message)s" 2>&1 >/dev/null)

550#
551#       - Printer doesn't exist in PyKota's database
552#       - User doesn't exist in PyKota's database
553#       - User has no quota entry for this Printer in PyKota's database
554#
555# Value can be either allow or deny or external(some command here)
556#
557# This value can be set either globally or per printer or both.
558# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
559# If the value is not set then the default policy DENY applies.
560# There's no policy wrt inexistant groups, they are ignored.
561#
562# external policy can be used to launch any external command of your choice,
563# for example to automatically add the user to the quota storage
564# if he is unknown. Example :
565#
566#   policy: external(/usr/bin/edpykota --add --printer %(printername)s --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 60 %(username)s >/dev/null)
567#
568# NB : If you want to limit users by their account balance value, it is preferable to
569# use the following policy to automate user account creation on first print :
570#
571#   policy: external(/usr/bin/autopykota --initbalance 25.0 >/dev/null)
572#
573#   This will automatically add the user if he doesn't already exist, and
574#   set his initial balance value to 25.0 (for example). If the user already
575#   exists then his balance value will not be modified.
576#   Please don't use autopykota if you want to limit your users by page
577#   quota, and in any case, carefully read autopykota's help or manpage
578#   and understand its goal before using it in your own configuration.
579#
580# Of course you can launch any command of your choice with this, e.g. :
581#
582#   policy: external(/usr/local/bin/myadminscript.sh %(username)s >/dev/null)
583
584# You can use :
585#
586#       '%(username)s'          will contain the user's name
587#       '%(printername)s'       will contain the printer's name
588#
589#   On your command line, to pass arguments to your command.
590#
591#   NB : Don't forget to redirect your command's standard output somewhere
592#        (e.g. >/dev/null) so that there's no perturbation to the underlying
593#        layer (filter or backend)
594#
595# If the printer, user, or user quota entry still doesn't exist after
596# external policy command was launched (the external command didn't add it),
597# or if an error occured during the execution of the external policy
598# command, then the job is rejected.
