22 IMPORTANT HINT FOR UPGRADING TO VERSION 2.3.x:
24 the config-syntax of ALLOW-STRING DENY-STRING GRANT REFUSE has changed:
25 now regular expressions are used enabling shorter config strings.
27 the language-files have been extended. Please use the newly provided
28 language-files or update your old ones.
34 TWEB is based on the Web500gw implementation by Frank Richter,
35 Technische Universitaet Chemnitz-Zwickau, which is based on the
36 go500gw implementation by Tim Howes, University of Michigan.
38 TWEB was compiled and tested on LINUX with cc, HPUX 9.05 with the
39 HP-ANSI C compiler, as well as SunOS 4.1.2 with the SUN C compiler.
40 TWEB was also compiled with gcc on all platforms.
42 The UMICH LDAP client library version 3.0 or 3.3
43 ( URL:ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/ldap/ldap-3.3.tar.Z )
44 must be installed on the machine (library path and include file
45 path is configured in Makefile). With QUIPU ICR-2.x the ISODE-
46 provided LDAP libraries should be used. As such, TWEB only supports
47 LDAP version 2 with the University of Michigan type C API. TWEB is
48 also adapted for the OpenLDAP LDAP library, release version 1.1.2
49 (http://www.openldap.org).
51 An upgrade to LDAP version 3 and a C API standadized by the IETF
52 is planned for a not so far away future, most probably in step
53 with the OpenLDAP package.
55 TWEB, as provided here is a fully functional core gateway, which
56 is extended at the author's site by some local features. These
57 extensions are included into the same code base, so that some
58 "#ifdef TUE_TEL" or "#ifdef AMBIX" pre-processor statements can
59 be found throughout the code.
61 Have a look at the doc sub-directory to get some further documentation.
66 The installation and configuration of TWEB is described in the
67 GETTING-STARTED file. After making and testing the basic TWEB
68 you should have a look to file FEATURE-LIST to learn about the
69 several configuration parameters TWEB provides for runtime
70 configuration of the program.
72 SINCE THE CODE IS ONLY THE CORE GATEWAY, WITH SOME PRIVATE EXTENSIONS
73 NOT INCLUDED INTO THAT DISTRIBUTION, DO NOT DELETE CODE BETWEEN
83 IN ANY OF THE SUPPORTED FILES !!!
88 Bug reports and flames (but also critical comments) please send to
90 tweb-support@mail500.uni-tuebingen.de.
92 For general discussion (e.g., about interesting new features,
93 which should be supported), there is a discussion list at
95 tweb-l@mail500.uni-tuebingen.de.
