NAME
httpd.access - authentication controls for HTTP access
SYNOPSIS
/etc/httpd.access
DESCRIPTION
The HTTP daemon can apply authentication controls to individual users or groups
on a per directory basis. The file /etc/httpd.access specifies the following items
for each access-controlled tree:
the path to the tree
the authority required to authenticate access to the tree
the lists of users or groups to who are permitted access when authenticated
The syntax is the same as the access control syntax used by NCSA and Apache.
However, the httpd.access file only supports a subset of directives supported by
NCSA and Apache. You can copy an existing NCSA or Apache access to the filer
without editing or reformatting.
SYNTAX
The supported directives are:
<Directory directory_name>
</Directory>
AuthName
Title
phrase
require user
user
_
id
[,
user
_
id
,...]
require group
group
_
id
[,
group
_
id
,...]
where
Title
phrase
is a word or phrase that is passed to the authentication dialog
as a title for the dialog that prompts the user for a password.
EXAMPLES
The following example restricts access to the file /home/htdocs/private/bob
so that only user dole can access it, after supplying the required password. The
authentication dialog is titled My private stuff.
<Directory /home/htdocs/private/bob>
AuthName My private stuff
<Limit GET>
require user dole
</Limit>
</Directory>
The <Limit GET> and </Limit> directives are not supported, but are retained for
format consistency with NCSA and Apache. The filer just ignores them.
