CryptoBox for Debian - installation notes



The main configuration file of the CryptoBox webserver is:

	/etc/cryptobox-server/cryptobox.conf

All settings named [Foo]->Bar are defined in this file.



1) Configure startup and network settings in /etc/default/cryptobox-server.

Set 'NO_START' to "0" if the CryptoBox should start at every bootup.

Set the port on which the cryptobox-server should listen.



2) Define [Main]->AllowedDevices according to the devices that you want to

publish via the cryptobox webinterface. Be careful: the data on these drives

can be overwritten by front-end users!



3) Choose a list of plugins to disable in [Main]->DisabledPlugins.



4) Use the username 'admin' and the password 'admin' to access protected

parts of the CryptoBox. Please change the password soon in the 'user_manager'.

You can use the 'plugin_manager' to define which parts of the CryptoBox should

be restricted to administrative access.



5) Read /usr/share/doc/cryptobox-server/event-scripts/README for information

about event handlers. They can be used to integrate fileservers (samba,

apache2-dav, nfs, ...) into the CryptoBox. Detailed information about

integration with samba and apach2-dav can be found in README.samba and

README.davfs.



6) A line was automatically added to /etc/super.tab.

This is necessary to gain root privileges for certain actions.

Please inspect /usr/sbin/CryptoBoxRootActions carefully to make sure, that your

system can not get compromised by this.
