Each file in this repository contains the PAPI proxy directives required to access a certain remote resource. Files are identified by the manin domain name of the resource, and they contain only PAPI proxy directives: the rest of PAPI directives must be added by the proxy administrator.

An approach based on the use of Apache virtual servers has been applied. If you decide to use a different approach (locations inside a server or different TCP ports, for example), you must adapt the directives accordingly. In the directives, references to the server itself or tightly related ones are made by means of strings containing PROXYNAME.

The specifications included here only refer to each proxy by itself, except in those cases of very tightly coupled servers or domains. If you want to implement cross-referencing from one PAPI proxy PoA to another, simply include the PAPI_Redirect directives of the target PoA into the set of directives of the origin PoA.

The list below includes the release, date of availability (in YYYYMMDD format) and requirements (if any) for each specification file. These data are also included (as a comment) in the first line of the specification files. This way, PAPI proxy site administrators can check the repository for updates on the definitions they are applying.
