- Installation
Extract cgidial zip archive to your cgi-bin directory. You can also create a
subdirectory containing requested files. Now you can verify if it works, simply going to
the script url, e.g. http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgidial.exe
(http://localhost/cgi-bin/dialer/cgidial.exe
if you have created the dialer subdirectory).
- Security tips
Perhaps you don't want to grant everyone access to your dialer page. To do so,
you have to denie access to everyone and grant access to
a list of specific addresses, probably assigned to some intranet machines. If you want a
more strict control, you can also disable anonymous accesses to the cgi dialer script and
enable some type of authentication (user will be asked for userid and password when trying
an intranet connection to the dialer script).
- Configuration
Cgi Dialer uses three templates files: cgidial.htm,
cgidialreply.htm, cgidialstat.htm. You can edit these files with a
text editor; please, be careful and don't use any WYSIWYG editor! Html
comments (such as <!comment>) must be preserved, as they can contain embedded
variables that are to be used by the dialer script. Here is a list of these custom tags:
- <!server> will be replaced by the name of the computer where cgidial.exe
resides.
- <!selection> will be replaced by an "option" list of your
internet connections.
- <!users> will be replaced by a comma-separated list of internet users
(for javascript).
- <!passwords> will be replaced by a comma-separated list of internet
passwords. To preserve security, passwords are encrypted.
- <!provider> will be replaced by the name of the current internet connection
(NOT for cgidial.htm).
- <!url> will be replaced by the url of the cgi dialer script.
