Configuration files

-Configuration file layout has changed in 1.2.x.

First, the file `/usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets' is read. Each line -in this file contains a username and filename, separated by whitespace. Note -that these are not local usernames - they are passed from Apache (you _did_ -setup -user authetication, correct?). Filenames are located in -`/usr/local/etc/freeside/'. The specified filename is parsed exactly -the same as the pre-1.2.x `secrets' file: -
Three lines: Database engine datasource (for example, - `DBI:mysql:freeside' or `DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside'), username, and password. - This file should not be world readable. See the DBI manpage and the manpage - for your DBD for the exact syntax. +
Create the /usr/local/etc/freeside directory to hold your configuration. +
Setting up Apache user authetication is mandatory. +
Create the /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file, which maps Apache users to a secrets file which contains a DBI data source, username and password. Every +line in /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets should contain a username and +filename, separated by whitespace. Note that these are not local usernames - +they are passed from Apache. +Apache user authetication is mandatory. For example, if you had the Apache users admin, +john, and sam, +you mapsecrets file might look like: +
```
+admin secretfile
+john secretfile
+sam secretfile
+
```
+
Next, the filename(s) referenced in /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file should be created in the /usr/local/etc/freeside/ directory. Each file contains three lines: DBI data source (for example, + DBI:mysql:freeside or DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside), database username, and database password. + These files should not be world readable. See the DBI manpage and the manpage for your DBD for the exact syntax of a DBI data source. In a normal installation such as the example above, a single file /usr/local/etc/freeside/secretfile would be created - for example: +
```
+DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside
+dbusername
+dbpassword
+
```

All further configuration files and directories are located in -`/usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.datasource', for example, -`/usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside' +/usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.datasource, for example, +/usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside (remember to backslash-escape the ; character when creating directories in the shell: mkdir /usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:host=localhost\;dbname=freeside).

icradiusmachines - Your ICRADIUS machines, one per line. The existance of this file (even if empty) turns on radcheck table creation (in the freeside database - the radcheck table needs to be created manually). Machines listed in this file will have the radcheck table exported to them. Each line of this file should contain four items, separted by whitespace: machine name, MySQL database name, MySQL username, and MySQL password. For example: "radius.isp.tld radius_db radius_user passw0rd". Note that to use ICRADIUS export you need to be using MySQL.
icradius_mysqldest - Destination directory for the MySQL databases, on the ICRADIUS machines. Defaults to "/usr/local/var/".
icradius_mysqlsource - Source directory for for the MySQL radcheck table files, on the Freeside machine. Defaults to "/usr/local/var/freeside". +
icradius_secrets - Optionally specifies a MySQL database for ICRADIUS export, if you're not running MySQL for your Freeside database. The database should be on the Freeside machine and store data in the icradius_mysqlsource directory. Three lines: DBI data source, username and password. This file should not be world readable.

qmailmachines - Your qmail machines, one per line. This enables export of `/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains', `/var/qmail/control/recipientmap', and `/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts'. The existance of this file (even if empty) also turns on user `.qmail-extension' file maintenance in conjunction with `shellmachine'.
