v1 v2 3 3 The ''credential printer'' service is an XMLRPC service to convert [WikiStart ABAC] credentials encoded as X.509 certificates into a text format. While [WikiStart libabac] is widely portable through swig, some programming environments cannot import the library, yet would like to see the contents of credentials. The credential printer provides access. 4 4 5 == Installing the service == 5 6 7 We distribute the credential printer as a python application. It depends on the standard installation and the M2Crypto package, available from several places. It also depends on [source:doc/INSTALL libabac]. 6 8 9 Once the prerequisites are installed, download the [attachment:cred_printer-1.00.tar.gz credential printer source] and untar it, change to the {{{cred_printer-1.00}}} directory and run the standard pythin install script (as {{{root}}}): 10 11 {{{ 12 $ tar xzf cred_printer-1.00.tar.gz 13 $ cd cred_printer-1.00 14 $ sudo python ./setup.py install 15 }}} 16 17 This will install a python egg into your site-packages and two python scripts, {{{cred_server.py}}} and {{{cred_client.py}}} into your standard biraries directory ({{{/usr/local/bin}}} on FreeBSD or Ubuntu. 18 19 Because the installation runs as {{{root}}}, you may need to delete the distribution directory as {{{root}}}: 20 21 {{{ 22 $ cd .. 23 $ sudo rm -rf cred_printer-1.00.tar.gz 24 }}} 25
