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. 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: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). Files listed in red are requried.

address - This configuration file is no longer used. See invoice_template instead.

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
business-onlinepayment - Business::OnlinePayment support, at least three lines: processor, login, and password. An optional fourth line specifies the action or actions (multiple actions are separated with `,': for example: `Authorization Only, Post Authorization'). Optional additional lines are passed to Business::OnlinePayment as %processor_options.

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.
dirhash - Optional numeric value to control director hashing. If positive, hashes directories for the specified number of levels from the front of the username. If negative, hashes directories for the specified number of levels from the end of the username. Some examples:
- 1: user -> /home/u/user
- 2: user -> /home/u/s/user
- -1: user -> /home/r/user
- -2: user -> home/r/e/user

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.

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.
showpasswords - The existance of this file will allow unencrypted user passwords to be displayed.
