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.example.com:389
102#storagename: dc=example,dc=com
103#storageuser: cn=notadmin,dc=example,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=example,dc=com
121#userrdn: uid
122#balancebase: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
123#balancerdn: uid

130#billingcodebase: ou=BillingCodes,ou=PyKota,dc=example,dc=com
131
132# These two fields are special, they either accept a branch
133# dn, like an ou for example, or the special keywords 'user'
134# and 'group'. If 'user' or 'group' is used, the print quota
135# entries will be created below the user or group entry itself,
136# which will then be used like a branch (you can mix and match
137# different values depending on what you want to do).
138#userquotabase: user
139#userquotabase: ou=UQuotas,ou=PyKota,dc=example,dc=com
140#groupquotabase: group
141#groupquotabase: ou=GQuotas,ou=PyKota,dc=example,dc=com
142
143#
144# How to create new accounts and groups
145# authorized values are "below" and "attach(objectclass name [, fail|warn])"
146#
147# "below" creates the new accounts/groups as standalone entries
148# below the above defined 'userbase' ou
149#
150# attach(objectclass name [, action]) tries to find some existing user/group
151# using the above defined 'userrdn' or 'grouprdn' and 'userbase'
152# 'groupbase', and attach the PyKota specific entries to it.
153# if action is "warn" and no entry exists to attach to, a new
154# entry is created, and a message is logged.
155# if action is "fail" and no entry exists to attach to, program
156# logs an error message and aborts.
157# if action is not set, the default value is "fail".
158#
159# a possible value:  newuser: attach(posixAccount, warn)
160#newuser : below
161#newgroup : below
162#
163# LDAP attribute which stores the user's email address
164#usermail : mail
165
166#
167# Choose what attribute contains the list of group members
168# common values are : memberUid, uniqueMember, member
169#groupmembers: memberUid
170
171# Activate low-level LDAP cache yes/no
172# Nothing to do with "storagecaching" which is higher level
173# and database independant.
174# This saves some search queries and may help with heavily
175# loaded LDAP servers.
176# This is EXPERIMENTAL.
177#
178# BEWARE : SETTING THIS TO 'YES' CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR NOW
179# BETTER TO LET IT SET TO 'NO'
180# ldapcache: no
181
182# Where to log ?
183# supported values : stderr, system (system means syslog, but don't use 'syslog' here)
184# if the value is not set then the default SYSTEM applies.
185logger: system
186
187# Enable debugging ? Put YES or NO there.
188# debug is set to yes in this sample
189# configuration file, so debugging is activated
190# when configuring PyKota. After all works, just
191# put NO instead to save some disk space in your
192# logs.
193debug : Yes
194
195#
196# The URL to PyKota's logo when used from the CGI scripts.
197# You can use your own logo by modifying the URL below.
198# If not defined, the default URL is the same as the
199# one defined below
200logourl : http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/PyKota/pykota.png
201
202#
203# The destination to which the web browser will be redirected
204# when you click on the logo defined above.
205# If not defined, the default URL is the same as the
206# one defined below
207logolink : http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/
208
209#
210# Mail server to use to warn users
211# If the value is not set then localhost is used.
212smtpserver: localhost
213
214# Crash messages' recipient : in addition to the log files
215# each software crash can be sent to the author of PyKota
216# or any other person of your choice. By default this
217# is disabled. The recipient pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com
218# reaches PyKota's author.
219# The 'adminmail' (defined a bit below) is CCed.
220#
221# Privacy concerns : what is sent is only :
222#
223#        - a copy of the software's traceback
224#        - a copy of the software's command line arguments
225#        - a copy of the software's environment variables
226#
227# suggested value
228# crashrecipient: pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com
229
230# Email domain
231# If the value is not set, and the mail attribute for the user
232# is not set in the PyKota storage, be it LDAP (see usermail directive
233# above) or PostgreSQL, then email messages are sent to
234# username@smtpserver
235#
236# If the value is set, then email messages are sent to
237# username@maildomain using the SMTP server defined above
238#
239# Set the appropriate value below, example.com set as per RFC2606.
240maildomain: example.com
241
242# Should we force usernames to be all lowercase when printing ?
243# Default is No.
244# This is a global option only.
245# Some people reported that WinXP sends mixed case usernames
246# setting 'utolower: Yes' solves the problem.
247# Of course you have to use lowercase only when adding
248# users with edpykota, because ALL database accesses are
249# still case sensitive.
250#
251# If utolower is Yes, the usernames received from the printing
252# system is converted to lowercase at the start of the cupspykota
253# backend or of the lprngpykota filter.
254#
255# If utolower is No, which is the default, strict case checking
256# is done, this means that users 'Jerome' and 'jerome' are
257# different. Printer and groups names are ALWAYS case sensitive.
258utolower: No
259
260# Should we split usernames on a specific separator when printing ?
261# Default is No, i.e. if the value is unset.
262# This is a global option only.
263# This option adds support for Samba's Winbind utility, which
264# prefixes usernames with domain name and separator character.
265# Of course if you set this then you have to use NO separator when
266# adding users with edpykota.
267#
268# If winbind_separator is set, the usernames received from the printing
269# system are split on the separator's value, and only the last part
270# (real username) is used.
271#
272# If winbind_separator is not set, which is the default, strict
273# username equality checking will be done (modulo the setting
274# of the 'utolower' directive), this means that users 'DOMAIN1/jerome',
275# 'Domain2/jerome' and 'jerome' are different.
276# winbind_separator: /
277
278# When creating users or groups accounts, should we reject users
279# or groups which are unknown from the system ?
280# The default if unset is NO. This means that by default, you
281# can create users or groups for which `getent passwd username`
282# or `getent group groupname` returns nothing.
283#
284# Allowed values : Yes | No
285# Default value : No
286#
287# reject_unknown: No
288
289# Do we want to hide jobs' title, filename and options for privacy
290# reasons ?
291# This may be required in some countries (Italy comes to mind).
292# Allowed values are YES and NO.
293# If unset, the default value is NO, meaning that jobs' title, filename
294# and options will be saved into the history.
295# This option can't be set on a per printer basis, only into the
296# [global] section.
297privacy : no
298
299# Should we strip off some characters from the beginning of
300# print jobs' titles ? This can be used to remove smbprn.??????
301# which sometimes appear when printing in raw mode from Windows
302# through Samba.
303# This setting only applies at printing time.
304# When not set, titles are used as received from the printing system.
305# The default is to not strip any character off of jobs' titles.
306# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
307# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
308# striptitle : smbprn.??????
309
310# Should we launch a command to overwrite the job's ticket ?
311# This allows a command to overwrite the username and/or the
312# billing code used, or to deny the job.
313# If unset no command is launched and the job's username and
314# billing code are used as they are received.
315# To overwrite the job's ticket, the command has to print
316# on its standard output one or more of the following lines,
317# without any prefix or space character :
318#
319#    USERNAME=the_username_we_want_to_overwrite_with
320#    BILLINGCODE=the_billingcode_we_want_to_overwrite_with
321#    DENY
322#
323# NB : the output is entirely read, and the latest value
324# seen is used, so you command can output several usernames
325# or billing codes and only the latest ones will be used.
326# If only USERNAME= lines are printed, the billing code,
327# if any, is used unchanged.
328# If only BILLINGCODE= lines are printed, the username is
329# used unchanged.
330# If DENY is output, but is followed by new USERNAME= or
331# BILLINGCODE= lines, the job is not denied.
332#
333# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
334# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
335#
336# overwrite_jobticket : /path/to/some/script/or/command
337
338# What should we do when we print and the billing code used is
339# not present in the database ?
340# The default value is 'create' which adds the billing code to the
341# database.
342# Other values can be :
343#       deny
344#     which silently rejects the job.
345# or :
346#       deny(your script here)
347#     if you put the path to a script or command here, it is executed, for
348#     example you can open a popup window explaining why the job was
349#     rejected.
350#
351# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
352# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
353#
354# unknown_billingcode : create
355
356# Where should we store our (temporary) files when printing ?
357# if unset, defaults to a system directory dedicated to temporary
358# files and evaluated at runtime (see Python's documentation
359# for the tempfile.gettempdir() function).
360# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
361# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
362# On my system, when not set, the /var/spool/cups/tmp directory is used.
363# directory : /tmp
364# directory : /var/spool/cups
365
366# Should we keep our work files on disk after printing ?
367# If unset, temporary files are deleted once the work is finished.
368# If set to yes, files are kept on disk in the 'directory'
369# named with the previous directive.
370# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
371# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
372# Default value is No, meaning temporary files are deleted
373# keepfiles : yes
374keepfiles : no
375
376
377# What is the accounting backend to use
378#
379# supported values :
380#
381#    - hardware : asks the printer for its lifetime page counter
382#                 via either SNMP, AppleTalk, or any external
383#                 command. This method is the recommended one
384#                 in PyKota since its beginning.
385#
386#                 In the lines below "%(printer)s" is automatically replaced
387#                 at run time with your printer's Fully Qualified Domain Name
388#                 for network printers, if PyKota can extract it from its
389#                 environment.
390#                 e.g. myprinter.example.com
391#
392#         Recommended values :
393#
394#             accounter: hardware(snmp)
395#
396#               Extracts the printer's internal page counter via SNMP.
397#
398#         Or :
399#
400#             accounter: hardware(pjl)
401#
402#               Extracts the printer's internal page counter via PJL queries over port tcp/9100.
403#
404#         Other Examples :
405#         
406#             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 " ")
407#         
408#         Another untested example, using npadmin :
409#         
410#             accounter: hardware(/usr/bin/npadmin --pagecount %(printer)s)
411#         
412#         Another example, for AppleTalk printers which works fine :
413#         (You may need the pap CUPS backend installed, and copy the
414#         pagecount.ps file from untested/netatalk into /etc or any
415#         appropriate location)
416#         
417#             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)
418#         
419#         An example for parallel printers like the HP Laserjet 5MP :
420#         
421#             accounter: hardware(/bin/cat /usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pjl >/dev/lp0 && /usr/bin/head -2 </dev/lp0 | /usr/bin/tail -1)
422#         
423#         This value can be set either globally or per printer or both.
424#         If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
425#         
426#         Some examples and comments provided by Bob Martel from csuohio.edu
427#         
428#         For several printers I could not get the page count using snmpget.  I
429#         resorted to snmpwalk:
430#         
431#             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)
432#         
433#         The last example is still more ugly, some of the printers only provided
434#         their counters without names, but at least always on the same line:
435#         
436#             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)
437#         
438#         An example using netcat and a preformatted PJL job which you can find
439#         in the untested/pjl directory, which is sent to a JetDirect print
440#         server on port 9100 :
441#         
442#             accounter: hardware(/bin/nc -w 2 %(printer)s 9100 </usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pjl | /usr/bin/tail -2)
443#         
444#         An example using the contributed pagecount.pl script which does
445#         the same as above, but should work on more printers :
446#         
447#             accounter: hardware(LC_ALL=C /usr/share/pykota/pagecount.pl %(printer)s 9100)
448#         
449#         NB : the LC_ALL=C is used because sometimes Perl can correctly set locale and is verbose
450#              about it, causing PyKota to miss the correct answer.
451#
452#         WARNING : In any case, when using an hardware accounter, please test the command line outside
453#                   of PyKota before. This will save you some headaches in case it doesn't work as expected.
454#         
455#         The waitprinter.sh is there to wait until the printer is idle again.
456#         This should prevent a job to be sent to the printer while another one is
457#         not yet finished (not all pages are printed, but the complete job is in
458#         the printer)
459#         
460#   YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE SURE YOU HAVE A SCRIPT WHICH WAITS FOR THE
461#   PRINTER BEING READY BEFORE ASKING FOR ITS INTERNAL PAGE COUNTER.
462#         
463#   PYKOTA INCLUDES SUCH SCRIPTS FOR SNMP AND APPLETALK PRINTERS, MORE TO COME
464#
465#   SOME OF THE ABOVE EXAMPLES DON'T USE SUCH A SCRIPT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
466#
467#
468#   WITH THE SPECIAL MAGIC hardware(snmp) AND hardware(pjl) VALUES, PYKOTA
469#   TAKES CARE OF ALL THIS FOR YOU, SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS PREFERABLE
470#   TO USE THESE TWO METHODS : THEY WORK FINE, REQUIRE LITTLE TO NO CPU,
471#   AND DO ALL THE HARD WORK AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU REALLY NEED TO YOU CAN USE
472#   YOUR OWN EXTERNAL COMMANDS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, JUST BE CAREFUL WITH THIS.
473#         
474#
475#    - software : delegates the job's size computation to any
476#                 external command of your choice.
477#
478#                 best choice for this is probably to set it
479#                 this way :
480#
481#                   accounter: software()
482#
483#                 which uses pkpgcounter's code internally to compute
484#                 the size of the job.
485#                 NB : YOU MUST NOW INSTALL pkpgcounter FOR PyKota TO WORK.
486#
487#                 You could obtain exactly the same result with :
488#
489#                   accounter: software(/usr/bin/pkpgcounter)

496#                 of documents. It is now distributed separately.
497#
498#                 while pkpgcounter is the recommended value if you want
499#                 to use an external command here, you can use whatever
500#                 command you want provided your command accepts the job's
501#                 data on its standard input and prints the job's size in
502#                 pages as a single integer on its standard output.

649#
650# This value can be set either globally or per printer or both.
651# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
652# If the value is not set then the default policy DENY applies.
653# There's no policy wrt inexistant groups, they are ignored.
654#
655# external policy can be used to launch any external command of your choice,
656# for example to automatically add the user to the quota storage
657# if he is unknown. Example :
658#
659#   policy: external(/usr/bin/edpykota --add --printer %(printername)s --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 60 %(username)s >/dev/null)
660#
661# NB : If you want to limit users by their account balance value, it is preferable to
662# use the following policy to automate user account creation on first print :
663#
664#   policy: external(/usr/bin/autopykota --initbalance 25.0 >/dev/null)
665#
666#   This will automatically add the user if he doesn't already exist, and
667#   set his initial balance value to 25.0 (for example). If the user already
668#   exists then his balance value will not be modified.
669#   Please don't use autopykota if you want to limit your users by page
670#   quota, and in any case, carefully read autopykota's help or manpage
671#   and understand its goal before using it in your own configuration.
672#
673# Of course you can launch any command of your choice with this, e.g. :
674#
675#   policy: external(/usr/local/bin/myadminscript.sh %(username)s >/dev/null)
676
677# You can use :
678#
679#       '%(username)s'          will contain the user's name
680#       '%(printername)s'       will contain the printer's name
681#
682#   On your command line, to pass arguments to your command.
683#
684#   NB : Don't forget to redirect your command's standard output somewhere
685#        (e.g. >/dev/null) so that there's no perturbation to the underlying
686#        layer (filter or backend)
687#
688# If the printer, user, or user quota entry still doesn't exist after
689# external policy command was launched (the external command didn't add it),
690# or if an error occured during the execution of the external policy
691# command, then the job is rejected.
