WEB ALPINE
----------
Web Alpine is the web-based component of the Alpine Mail System. It
rests on the same distributed email technology behind Alpine, but is
accessible from almost any browser on the World Wide Web.
Web Alpine uses TCL to provide the programmatic interface between
the Alpine-provided message store and the cgi-served web pages.
REQUIRED SOFTWARE
-----------------
Base system:
C compiler
Tcl scripting package and development tools
OpenSSL
Apache web server (though, presumably any CGI supporting
web server should work)
Optional:
ispell application
Used to support composer spell check functinoality.
Featured not offered if ispell not present.
openLDAP
Provides LDAP query services to support login
personalization and user-session LDAP query support.
UW Pubcookie
Provides central web-login management. Note, additional
configuration and installation steps are required. See
src/pubcookie/INSTALL for specific instructions.
Kerberos 5
Required by UW-Pubcookie to provide authentication and
proxy authorization for IMAP server access. Proxy
authentication only tested under UW imapd.
BUILING AND INSTALLING WEB ALPINE
---------------------------------
See the INSTALL file for basic instructions.
DOCUMENTATION
-------------
User documentation is contained within the application and is
reasonably complete. Technical documentation is extremely rough and
likely unsatisfying. It's probably worth reading, but ultimately
configuration or other questions are best answered by reviewing the
source (which itself, while working reasonably, is somewhat spotilly
documented as well).
SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK
--------------------
Send comments and questions to <alpine-contact@cac.washington.edu>.
