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.

164# How to create new accounts and groups
165# authorized values are "below" and "attach(objectclass name [, fail|warn])"

170# attach(objectclass name [, action]) tries to find some existing user/group
171# using the above defined 'userrdn' or 'grouprdn' and 'userbase'
172# 'groupbase', and attach the PyKota specific entries to it.
173# if action is "warn" and no entry exists to attach to, a new
174# entry is created, and a message is logged.
175# if action is "fail" and no entry exists to attach to, program
176# logs an error message and aborts.
177# if action is not set, the default value is "fail".

218
219# Should the database caching mechanism be enabled or not ?
220# If unset, caching is disabled. Possible values Y/N/YES/NO
221# caching mechanism works with both relationnal and OpenLDAP backends
222# but may be really interesting only with OpenLDAP.
223#
224# ACTIVATING CACHE MAY CAUSE PRECISION PROBLEMS IN PRINT ACCOUNTING
225# IF AN USER PRINTS ON SEVERAL PRINTERS AT THE SAME TIME.
226# YOU MAY FIND IT INTERESTING ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY FOR LDAP.
227#
228# THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS CACHING MECHANISM WILL IMPROVE
229# PERFORMANCE WITH RELATIONNAL BACKENDS. IT MIGHT EVEN MAKE
230# PERFORMANCE DECREASE. AS ALWAYS : YMMV.
231#
232# FYI, I ALWAYS SET IT TO YES !
233#
234storagecaching: No
235
236
237
238# Should full job history be disabled ?
239# If unset or set to No, full job history is kept in the database.
240# Disabling the job history can be useful with heavily loaded
241# LDAP servers, to not make the LDAP tree grow out of control.
242# Disabling the job history with a relationnal backend works too
243# but it's probably less useful than with LDAP.
244#
245disablehistory: No
246
247
248
249# Where to log ?
250# supported values : stderr, system (system means syslog, but don't use
251# 'syslog' here). if the value is not set then the default SYSTEM applies.
252#
253logger: system
254
255
256
257# Enable debugging ? Put YES or NO there.
258# debug is set to YES in this sample configuration file, so debugging
259# is activated when configuring PyKota, which helps a lot. After all
260# works, just put NO instead to save some disk space in your logs.
261# NB : When set to YES, there is a very significant impact on performance
262# when managing many users, printers or billing codes at once, because
263# hundreds of thousands of log lines can be generated.
264# When printing a job, typically around 250-300 log lines are generated,
265# so the impact per job is really minimal. Note however that this will
266# add up over a large number of jobs.
267#
268debug : Yes
269
270
271
272# The URL to PyKota's logo when used from the CGI scripts.
273# You can use your own logo by modifying the URL below.
274# If not defined, the default URL is the same as the

283# If not defined, the default URL is the same as the
284# one defined below :

286logolink : http://www.pykota.com/
287

290# Mail server to use to warn users
291# If the value is not set then localhost is used.

297# Crash messages' recipient : in addition to the log files
298# each software crash can be sent to the author of PyKota
299# or any other person of your choice. By default this
300# is disabled for privacy concerns (see below). The address
301# pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com reaches PyKota's author.
302# The 'adminmail' (defined a bit below) is CCed.
303#
304# Privacy concerns : what is sent is only :
305#
306#        - a copy of the software's traceback
307#        - a copy of the software's command line arguments
308#        - a copy of the software's environment variables
309#
310# suggested value :
311#
312# crashrecipient: pykotacrashed@librelogiciel.com
313
314
315
316# Email domain
317# If the value is not set, and the mail attribute for the user
318# is not set in the PyKota storage, be it LDAP (see usermail directive
319# above) or a relationnal one, then email messages are sent to
320# username@smtpserver
321#
322# If the value is set, then email messages are sent to
323# username@maildomain using the SMTP server defined above
324#
325# Set the appropriate value below, example.com set as per RFC2606.
326#
327maildomain: example.com
328
329
330
331# Should we force usernames to be all lowercase when printing ?
332# Default is No.
333# This is a [global] option only.
334# Some people reported that WinXP sends mixed case usernames
335# setting 'utolower: Yes' solves the problem.
336# Of course you have to use lowercase only when adding
337# users with edpykota, because ALL database accesses are
338# still case sensitive.
339#
340# If utolower is Yes, the usernames received from the printing
341# system is converted to lowercase at the start of printing,
342# BUT ONLY when printing.
343#
344# If utolower is No, which is the default, strict case checking
345# is done, this means that users 'Jerome' and 'jerome' are
346# different. Printer and groups names are ALWAYS case sensitive.
347#
348utolower: No
349
350
351
352# Should we split usernames on a specific separator when printing ?
353# Default is No, i.e. if the value is unset.
354# This is a [global] option only.
355# This option adds support for Samba's Winbind utility, which
356# prefixes usernames with domain name and separator character.
357# Of course if you set this then you have to use NO separator when
358# adding users with edpykota.
359#
360# If winbind_separator is set, the usernames received from the printing
361# system are split on the separator's value, and only the last part
362# (real username) is used.
363#
364# If winbind_separator is not set, which is the default, strict
365# username equality checking will be done (modulo the setting
366# of the 'utolower' directive), this means that users 'DOMAIN1/jerome',
367# 'Domain2/jerome' and 'jerome' are different.
368#
369# winbind_separator: /
370
371
372
373# When creating users or groups accounts, should we reject users
374# or groups which are unknown from the system ?
375# The default if unset is NO. This means that by default, you
376# can create users or groups for which `getent passwd username`
377# or `getent group groupname` returns nothing.
378#
379# Allowed values : Yes | No
380# Default value : No
381#
382# reject_unknown: No
383
384
385
386# Do we want to hide jobs' title, filename and options for privacy
387# reasons ?
388# This may be required in some countries (Italy comes to mind).
389# Allowed values are YES and NO.
390# If unset, the default value is NO, meaning that jobs' title, filename
391# and options will be saved into the history.
392# This option can't be set on a per printer basis, only into the
393# [global] section.
394#
395privacy : no
396
397
398
399# When the real CUPS backend fail, should we modify the
400# user's page counters and account balance or not ?
401# Also should we retry and if yes then how often and how many times ?
402# If you trust your users, set it to "nocharge".
403# If you think they found some mean to kill the real CUPS backend,
404# then set it to "charge".
405# If your print queues get regularly disabled by CUPS when the printers
406# are switched off, you might want to set it to "retry:N:S" where
407# N is the number of times the operation should be retried, and S is
408# the delay in seconds during which PyKota will sleep before trying again.
409# This 'retry' feature works in a way similar to Till Kamppeter's beh
410# backend wrapper which offers this functionnality but is actually not
411# compatible with PyKota (because of my own inability to master regular
412# expressions).
413# If N is 0, PyKota will retry indefinitely each S seconds until the
414# backend succeeds, so you should use this with caution. If N is 0,
415# of course neither "charge" nor "nocharge" will be honored.
416# You can combine "charge" or "nocharge" with "retry:N:S" if you want,
417# by separating the values with a comma as shown in the examples below.
418# If unset, the default value is "nocharge", meaning that users won't be
419# charged whenever a CUPS backend fails. This is the OPPOSITE
420# behavior compared to PyKota versions prior to 1.24alpha2.
421# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
422# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
423#
424# onbackenderror : charge,retry:5:60
425# onbackenderror : retry:0:300
426# onbackenderror : retry:3:300,nocharge

431
432# Should we strip off some characters from the beginning of
433# print jobs' titles ? This can be used to remove smbprn.??????
434# which sometimes appear when printing in raw mode from Windows
435# through Samba.
436# This setting only applies at printing time.
437# When not set, titles are used as received from the printing system.
438# The default is to not strip any character off of jobs' titles.
439# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
440# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
441#
442# striptitle : smbprn.??????
443
444
445
446# Should we launch a command to overwrite the job's ticket ?
447# This allows a command to overwrite the username and/or the
448# billing code used, or to deny or cancel the job.
449# If unset no command is launched and the job's username and
450# billing code are used as they are received.
451# To overwrite the job's ticket, the command has to print
452# on its standard output one or more of the following lines,
453# without any prefix or space character :
454#
455#    USERNAME=the_username_we_want_to_overwrite_with
456#    BILLINGCODE=the_billingcode_we_want_to_overwrite_with
457#    AUTH=NO (equivalent to DENY below)
458#    DENY
459#    CANCEL
460#
461# NB : the output of your command is entirely read, and the latest
462# value seen is used, so you command can output several usernames
463# or billing codes and only the latest ones will be used.
464# If only USERNAME= lines are printed, the billing code,
465# if any, is used unchanged.
466# If only BILLINGCODE= lines are printed, the username is
467# used unchanged.
468# If DENY or CANCEL is output, the username can't be overwritten.
469#
470# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
471# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
472#
473# examples :
474#
475# overwrite_jobticket : /usr/bin/pknotify --destination $PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME:7654 --timeout 180 --denyafter 3 --checkauth --ask "Username:username:$PYKOTAUSERNAME" "Password:password:"
476# overwrite_jobticket : /path/to/some/script/or/command
477
478
479
480# Should we ask the end user for a confirmation about their print job ?
481#
482# Any script can be launched here. If your script prints CANCEL on
483# its standard output, the job is cancelled, else processing of the
484# job continues to next step.
485#
486# NB : the output of your command is read until CANCEL is found
487# or all lines have been read.
488#
489# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
490# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
491#
492# examples :
493#
494# askconfirmation : /usr/bin/pknotify --destination $PYKOTAJOBORIGINATINGHOSTNAME:7654 --timeout 120 --confirm "Hello $PYKOTAUSERNAME.\nPrint job $PYKOTAJOBID send to printer $PYKOTAPRINTERNAME is $PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBSIZE pages long\nand will cost you $PYKOTAPRECOMPUTEDJOBPRICE credits.\n\nYou currently have $PYKOTABALANCE credits.\n\nDo you really want to print ?"
495
496
497
498# What should we do when we print and the billing code used is
499# not present in the database ?
500# The default value is 'create' which adds the billing code to the
501# database.
502# Other values can be :
503#       deny
504#     which silently rejects the job.
505# or :
506#       deny(your script here)
507#     if you put the path to a script or command here, it is executed, for
508#     example you can open a popup window explaining why the job was
509#     rejected.

520
521# Where should we store our (temporary) files when printing ?
522# if unset, defaults to a system directory dedicated to temporary
523# files and evaluated at runtime (see Python's documentation
524# for the tempfile.gettempdir() function).
525# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
526# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
527# On my system, when not set, the /var/spool/cups/tmp directory is used.
528# directory : /tmp
529# directory : /var/spool/cups
530
531
532
533# Should we keep our work files on disk after printing ?
534# If unset, temporary files are deleted once the work is finished.
535# If set to yes, files are kept on disk in the 'directory'
536# named with the previous directive.
537# This value can be set either globally or on a per printer basis
538# If both are defined, the printer option has priority.
539# Default value is No, meaning temporary files are deleted
540# You should set it to yes only during installation to not
541# waste disk space during normal use.
542#
543# keepfiles : yes
544keepfiles : no
545
546
547
548# What is the accounting backend to use : this defines the way PyKota
549# will compute the number of pages printed. This directive is the most
550# important one in PyKota's configuration.
551#
552# NB : This directive is MANDATORY, there's no default value when not set.
553#
554# Supported values :
555#
556# - software([/path/to/some/script[ --with-args]])
557# - hardware(snmp[:community]|pjl[:port]|/path/to/some/script[ --with-args])
558#
559# Hardware asks the printer for its lifetime page counter through either
560# SNMP, PJL-over-TCP, or through any command of your choice. This is
561# the recommended way to use PyKota, although it might not work with some
562# printers. The page counter is asked twice per job : before the job
563# is sent to the printer, and after it has been entirely sent.
564# The big advantages of hardware accounting are lighter CPU usage compared
565# to software accounting described below, although it can take more time
566# because of necessary internal counter stabilization delays, and the fact
567# that paper jams don't cause users to be charged for pages they couldn't
568# print.
569# For hardware accounting, two special values are accepted in addition
570# to a script name : snmp and pjl. 'snmp' asks PyKota to use its internal
571# SNMP code, 'pjl' asks PyKota to internally send a specially crafter PJL
572# job to the printer's TCP port 9100 (by default).
573#
574# Software counts pages by parsing the print job's datas, either internally
575# when no script is specified, or through any script of your choice.
576# This works with ALL printers, provided you've got a script to parse
577# datas produced by your printer driver. PyKota's internal parser, also
578# available under the name 'pkpgcounter', recognizes several page description
579# languages, but may occasionally fail for some printer drivers.
580# You can however use any other command, provided it can read the datas to
581# parse from its standard input, and prints a single integer on its standard
582# output, representing the number of pages in the print job.
583# Software accounting unfortunately may overcharge users in case of paper
584# jams.
585#
586# You can get hints on which configuration is best for your printers by
587# typing : pkturnkey --doconf
588#
589# In the lines below "%(printer)s" is automatically replaced at run time

817# If the value is not set then the default policy DENY applies.
818# There's no policy wrt inexistant groups, they are ignored.
819#
820# external policy can be used to launch any external command of your choice,
821# for example to automatically add the user to the quota database, and set
822# page limits on the current printer if he is unknown :
823#
824#   policy: external(/usr/bin/pkusers --add --skipexisting %(username)s && /usr/bin/edpykota --add --skipexisting --printer %(printername)s --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 60 %(username)s)
825#
826# NB : If you want to limit users by their account balance value, it is preferable to
827# use the following policy to automate user account creation on first print :
828#
829#   policy: external(/usr/bin/autopykota --initbalance 25.0)
830#
831#   This will automatically add the user if he doesn't already exist, and
832#   set his initial balance value to 25.0 (for example). If the user already
833#   exists then his balance value will not be modified.
834#   Please don't use autopykota if you want to limit your users by page
835#   quota, and in any case, carefully read autopykota's help or manpage
836#   and understand its goal before using it in your own configuration.
837#
838# Of course you can launch any command of your choice with this, e.g. :
839#
840#   policy: external(/usr/local/bin/myadminscript.sh %(username)s)

848#
849# If the printer, user, or user quota entry still doesn't exist after
850# external policy command was launched (the external command didn't add it),
851# or if an error occured during the execution of the external policy
852# command, then the job is rejected.

1041# How should enforcement be done for this printer ?
1042#
1043# "laxist" is the default if value is not set, and allows users
1044# to be over quota on their last job.
1045#
1046# "strict" tries to prevent users from ever being over quota.
1047#
1048# Enforcement can be defined either globally, per printer,
1049# or both. If both are defined, the printer specific enforcement
1050# setting has priority.
1051#
1052# valid values : "strict" or "laxist"
1053#
1054# default value when not set is "laxist"
1055#
1056# enforcement : laxist

1061# Should we trust the job size on this printer ?
1062#
1063# "trustjobsize : yes" is the default, the jobsize, either computed
1064# by the hardware or by software is trusted.
1065#
1066# "trustjobsize : >N:precomputed" : uses the precomputed value
1067#                                   if jobsize > N pages
1068# "trustjobsize : >N:25" : uses 25 if jobsize is >N pages
1069#
1070# General form : ">n:m" where n is a positive integer, and m is
1071# either the word 'precomputed' or a positive integer.
1072# The special form "yes" is also accepted and is the default.
1073#
1074# This directive can be set either globally or on a per printer
1075# basis. Use this directive when hardware accounting for a particular
1076# printer produces some glitches due to the printer returning
1077# incorrect answers.
1078#
1079# NB : DON'T MODIFY THIS IF YOU DON'T NEED TO. THIS IS ONLY TO BE USED
1080# AS A WORKAROUND FOR SOME PRINTERS. IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO ALWAYS
1081# SET THIS DIRECTIVE TO 'yes'. THIS DIRECTIVE WILL ONLY BE HONORED
1082# IF PYKOTA DETECTS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRECOMPUTED JOB SIZE
1083# AND THE JOB SIZE AS COMPUTED BY PYKOTA EITHER USING HARDWARE OR
1084# SOFTWARE.

1090# Should we deny duplicate jobs ?
1091#
1092# A duplicate is a job sent twice (or more) in a row to the same printer
1093# by the same user.
1094#
1095# This can be defined either globally or on a per printer basis
1096# The default value is 'no', meaning that duplicate jobs are
1097# allowed.
1098#
1099# NB : if an user prints a job, a second user prints another
1100#      job, and the first user prints the first job again,
1101#      this is NOT considered as a duplicate since the two
1102#      identical jobs printed by the first user are not
1103#      one just after the other.
1104#
1105# Possible values are 'yes', 'no', or any other string.
1106# If the string is not recognized as a truth value,
1107# it is considered to be a command to launch.
1108# PyKota launches the command and parses its standard
1109# output. The special keywords 'ALLOW' and 'DENY' are
1110# recognized, allowing an external tool to decide if
1111# the job is to be allowed or denied.
1112#
