Chapter 14
Controlling Access to Your Server
This chapter discusses the various methods you can use to control access to
Enterprise Administration Server and to the files or directories on your web
site. For example, for Enterprise Administration Server, you can specify who
has full control of all the servers installed on a machine and who has partial
control of one or more servers. Before you can use access control on
Enterprise Administration Server, you must enable distributed administration
from the Distributed Administration page and set up an administration group in
your LDAP database. This chapter assumes you have already configured
distributed administration and have defined users and groups in your LDAP
database.
You should also ensure the security of the web server as discussed in
Chapter 5, “Working with Server Security.”
