AppBoard runs on an Apache Tomcat server that can be configured to run CGI scripts.

Enabling CGI can introduce additional load on the AppBoard server and raises it's own security concerns. This document simply covers enabling CGI but thought should go into the issues mentioned.

To enable CGI follow these steps:

Changes to web.xml and context.xml are not archived by default. While it's possible to change the archive properties files and include these files they are considered systems files and may change release to release. In other words, on upgrade it must be verified the there are no changes to these files (beyond enabling CGI).
