Subject: CGIpaf 1.2.2 ( stable ) & CGIpaf 1.3.0pre3 ( development ) released
Date: 28 Apr 2003 18:15:08 GMT
* What is CGIpaf?
"cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and
mail Forwarding by a web interface.
CGIpaf 1.3.0pre3 is the latest "development" release.
CGIpaf 1.3.0pre3 is available at http://staf.patat.org/develop/
CGIpaf 1.2.2 is the latest "stable" release and is available at:
http://staf.patat.org/cgipaf/
Debian packages sid and woody are available at:
http://staf.patat.org/debian/
* What is new?
Both are bugfix releases to re-enable smbpasswd support which was broken
in the previous release.
* Requirements
o a Un*x server
o a mailserver that uses procmail
( vacation is supported by an external perl mailcfg script )
o webserver
o gcc, ndbm or gdbm
* License
GNU General Public License.
* Overview
cgipaf is a combination of three cgi programs:
+ passwd.cgi : allows users to update their password
+ viewmailcfg.cgi : allows users to view their current mail
configuration.
+ mailcfg.cgi : update the mail configuration
o All programs use PAM for user authentication, systems without PAM
are only supported if they use the standard password file location
(/etc/passwd ,/etc/shadow) and the standard crypt or md5 passwords.
o If a password is changed it is possible to run a script to update
SAMBA passwords, NIS configuration, etc.
o The mail configuration is done by procmail, mailcfg.cgi creates a
.procmailrc in the user's home directory. If autoreply is enabled
the autoreply message is stored in ~/vacations.txt. When a user
enables mail forwarding the user can choose to keep the messages.
o For user authentication viewmailcfg.cgi creates a cookie, this
cookie is stored in the accessdb. mailcfg.cgi reads the cookie out
the accessdb and compares it with the cookie send by the users
browser.
o User with too many invalid logins can be locked.
o The minimum and maximum uid can be set in the configuration file,
so you can specify a range of uid's that are allowed to use
cgipasswd.
o You can specify html files with a few PHP extensions for the login
screen and error messages.
o It's possible to use a redirect for the error messages, instead of
plain html files.
o It's is possible to define an external script to update the the
mail configuration to support other mail configurations than
procmail a sample script with vacation support is included.
o CGIpaf also contains the "changepass" utility which is basically a
clone of the chpasswd(8) Linux command, it might be useful on
platforms that doesn't have such a command like Solaris.
