Configuration files

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. This file contains three lines: DBI data source (for example, DBI:mysql:freeside or DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside), database username, and database password. This file should not be world readable. See the DBI manpage and the manpage for your DBD for the exact syntax of a DBI data source. For example:
```
DBI:Pg: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

address - This configuration file is no longer used. See invoice_template instead.
apacheroot - The directory containing Apache virtual hosts
apachemachine - A machine with the apacheroot directory and user home directories. The existance of this file enables setup of virtual host directories, and, in conjunction with the `home' configuration file, symlinks into user home directories.
apachemachines - Your Apache machines, one per line. This enables export of `/etc/apache/vhosts.conf', which can be included in your Apache configuration via the Include directive.
autocapnames - The presence of this file will cause Freeside to use Javascript in /htdocs/edit/cust_main.cgi to automatically capitalize the first and last names of customers.
bindprimary - Your BIND primary nameserver. This enables export of /var/named/named.conf and zone files into /var/named
bindsecondaries - Your BIND secondary nameservers, one per line. This enables export of /var/named/named.conf
bsdshellmachines - Your BSD flavored shell (and mail) machines, one per line. This enables export of `/etc/passwd' and `/etc/master.passwd'.
countrydefault - Default two-letter country code (if not supplied, the default is `US')
cybercash2 - CyberCash v2 support, four lines: paymentserverhost, paymentserverport, paymentserversecret, and transaction type (`mauthonly' or `mauthcapture'). CCLib.pm is required.
cybercash3.2 - CyberCash v3.2 support. Two lines: the full path and name of your merchant_conf file, and the transaction type (`mauthonly' or `mauthcapture'). CCMckLib3_2.pm, CCMckDirectLib3_2.pm and CCMckErrno3_2 are required.
deletecustomers - The existance of this file will enable customer deletions. Be very careful! Deleting a customer will remove all traces that this customer ever existed! It should probably only be used when auditing a legacy database. Normally, you cancel all of a customers' packages if they cancel service.
domain - Your domain name.
editreferrals - The existance of this file will allow you to change the referral of existing customers.
erpcdmachines - Your ERPCD authenticaion machines, one per line. This enables export of `/usr/annex/acp_passwd' and `/usr/annex/acp_dialup'.
hidecancelledpackages - The existance of this file will prevent cancelled packages from showing up in listings (though they will still be in the database)
hidecancelledcustomers - The existance of this file will prevent customers with only cancelled packages from showing up in listings (though they will still be in the database)
home - For new users, prefixed to usrename to create a directory name. Should have a leading but not a trailing slash.
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.
invoice_from - Return address on email invoices.
invoice_template - Required template file for invoices. See the section on billing for details.
lpr - Print command for paper invoices, for example `lpr -h'.
maildisablecatchall - The existance of this file will disable the requirement that each virtual domain have a catch-all mailbox.

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'.
radiusmachines - Your RADIUS authentication machines, one per line. This enables export of `/etc/raddb/users'.
referraldefault - Default referral, specified by refnum.
registries - Directory which contains domain registry information. Each registry is a directory.
- registries/internic - Currently the only supported registry
  - registries/internic/from - Email address from which InterNIC domain registrations are sent.

  - registries/internic/tech_contact - Technical contact NIC handle for domain registrations.
  - registries/internic/template - Template for InterNIC domain registrations with special markup. A suitable copy of the InterNIC domain template v4.0 is in `fs-x.y.z/etc/domain-template.txt'.
  - registries/internic/to - Email address to which InterNIC domain registrations are sent.
sendmailconfigpath - Sendmail configuration file path - defaults to `/etc'. Many newer distributions use `/etc/mail'.

shellmachine-useradd - The command(s) to run on shellmachine when an account is created. If this file does not exist, useradd -d $dir -m -s $shell -u $uid $username is the default. If the file exists but is empty, cp -pr /etc/skel $dir; chown -R $uid.$gid $dir is the default instead. Otherwise the contents of the file are treated as a double-quoted perl string, with the following variables available: $username, $uid, $gid, $dir, and $shell.
shellmachine-userdel - The command(s) to run on shellmachine when an account is deleted. If this file does not exist, userdel $username is the default.

Otherwise the contents of the file are treated as a double-quoted perl string, with the following variables available: $old_dir, $new_dir, $uid and $gid.
shellmachines - Your Linux and System V flavored shell (and mail) machines, one per line. This enables export of `/etc/passwd' and `/etc/shadow' files.
shells - Legal shells (think /etc/shells). You probably want to `cut -d: -f7 /etc/passwd | sort | uniq' initially so that importing doesn't fail with `Illegal shell' errors, then remove any special entries afterwords. A blank line specifies that an empty shell is permitted.
