NetCloak 2.5 User's Guide

Installing NetCloak with Quid Pro Quo


Installing the NetCloak Plug-In

  1. Copy the "NetCloak Plug-In" file from the "NetCloak 2.5" folder to the "Plug-Ins" folder in the same folder as the Quid Pro Quo application.
  2. Copy the "NetCloak.acgi" application into the same folder as the Quid Pro Quo application (not the "Plug-Ins" folder). You will need the CGI to set configuration and other NetCloak settings.
  3. Launch Quid Pro Quo.
If you want to process all ".html" files through NetCloak, also follow these steps:
  1. Select "Services..." from the "Control" menu.
  2. For each server that will serve "cloaked" pages, do the following:
    1. Select the server in the list and click "Edit Server...".
    2. Click the "Suffix Mappings" icon on the left side of the window.
    3. Click on the line for the ".html" suffix. Info will fill in the boxes below the suffix list.
    4. Change the "Action:" with the popup menu to "CLOAK_PI".
    5. Click OK to close the "Configure Quid Pro Quo" window.
  3. Click OK to close the "Services" window.

Installing the NetCloak CGI

  1. Copy the "NetCloak.acgi" from the "NetCloak 2.5" folder to the "cgi-bin" folder in the same folder as the Quid Pro Quo application.
  2. Double-click the "NetCloak.acgi" application to launch it. Starting NetCloak by double-clicking on it is not required, as the Web server will automatically start it as needed. However, starting by hand is recommended to avoid possible start-up errors (like out of memory problems).
  3. Launch Quid Pro Quo.
  4. Select "Services..." from the "Control" menu.
  5. For each server that will serve "cloaked" pages, do the following:
    1. Select the server in the list and click "Edit Server...".
    2. Click the "Actions" icon on the left side of the window.
    3. Click "New Action".
    4. Type "CLOAK" in the "Name:" field.
    5. Type "/cgi-bin/NetCloak.acgi" in the "Path:" field.
    6. Click the "Suffix Mappings" icon on the left side of the window.
    7. Click "New Mapping".
    8. Enter ".nclk" in the "Suffix:" field.
    9. Enter "text/html" in the "MIME Type:" field.
