SECURITY¶
Due to the security concerns it is highly recommended to run ppserver.py with an
non-trivial secret key (-s command line argument) which should be paired with
the matching secret keyword of PP Server class constructor. An alternative way
to set a secret key is by assigning
pp_secret variable in the
configuration file
.pythonrc.py which should be located in the user
home directory (please make this file readable and writable only by user). The
secret key set in .pythonrc.py could be overridden by command line argument
(for ppserver.py) and secret keyword (for PP Server class constructor).
