14 WEB ALPINE
15 ----------
16
17 Web Alpine is the web-based component of the Alpine Mail System. It
18 rests on the same distributed email technology behind Alpine, but is
19 accessible from almost any browser on the World Wide Web.
20
21 Web Alpine uses TCL to provide the programmatic interface between
22 the Alpine-provided message store and the cgi-served web pages.
23
24
25 REQUIRED SOFTWARE
26 -----------------
27
28 Base system:
29 C compiler
30 Tcl scripting package and development tools
31 OpenSSL
32 Apache web server (though, presumably any CGI supporting
33 web server should work)
34
35 Optional:
36 ispell application
37 Used to support composer spell check functinoality.
38 Featured not offered if ispell not present.
39
40 openLDAP
41 Provides LDAP query services to support login
42 personalization and user-session LDAP query support.
43
44 UW Pubcookie
45 Provides central web-login management. Note, additional
46 configuration and installation steps are required. See
47 src/pubcookie/INSTALL for specific instructions.
48
49 Kerberos 5
50 Required by UW-Pubcookie to provide authentication and
51 proxy authorization for IMAP server access. Proxy
52 authentication only tested under UW imapd.

56 BUILING AND INSTALLING WEB ALPINE
57 ---------------------------------
58
59 See the INSTALL file for basic instructions.
60
61
62 DOCUMENTATION
63 -------------
64
65 User documentation is contained within the application and is
66 reasonably complete. Technical documentation is extremely rough and
67 likely unsatisfying. It's probably worth reading, but ultimately
68 configuration or other questions are best answered by reviewing the
69 source (which itself, while working reasonably, is somewhat spotilly
70 documented as well).
