We would like to come up with a short checklist to setup new customers in such a way that the script is, as much as possible, running as their user id. We have checked the pros and cons and we are in a situation where each customer has a different environment. So we were wondering is there any straight forward way of deploying scripts to use a type of "built-in" wrapper - like cgi-wrap. So we can deploy the software securely as much as possible, avoiding the dreaded 777 permissions to get folder and files writable.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of articles on how to setup your own cgi wrapper? Or is there a url i can check out commercial software designed for this purpose for cgi developers?
Thanks in advance...
Steve
Hmm, I take it you don't have root access to your the server and so can't use CGIwrap [cgiwrap.unixtools.org]?
If that's the case then I'm not sure you've got many options - AFAIK this sort of thing can only be done at the server admin level :(
