Chapter 14, Controlling Access to Your Server 345
Restricting Access to Your Web Site
Click New Line to add a rule to the ACL. Each rule you create allows access
to the server. By specifically allowing access for users, you reduce the risk
that you’ll allow access to users you don’t want.
4.
Choose the users, groups, hosts, and IP addresses you want to apply to this
access control rule.
5.
By default, administrators have access to all programs for a server. Click the
All link under Programs in the top frame. The bottom frame displays a page
that lists the programs for the server type you selected.
6.
Select “Only the following,” and then select the Program Groups you want
to apply to the rule. You can choose multiple groups by pressing the
Control key and then clicking the groups you want.
The Program Groups listed use the same name as the buttons in the top
frame of the Server Manager for the server type you selected. For example,
in the administration server, there are tabs labeled Preferences, Global
Settings, and so on. When an administrator accesses the administration
server, the server uses their username, host, and IP to determine what pages
they’ll see. If they have access to only one or two pages, they will only see
those pages.
7.
You can control access to a specific page within a tab. Type the name of the
page in the Program Items field.
To determine the name of a page, place your pointer over the link in the
left frame of Enterprise Administration Server and then view the text in the
status bar on the bottom of your browser. The last word after the last %2b is
the name for that page.
For example, suppose you have one person who administers a Netscape
Directory Server and you want that person to have access only to the
“Configure Directory Service” page. In this case, you would set up a rule
that applies to them (host, IP, and so on), and then you would enter
dsconfig
in the Program Items field.
8.
Click Update and then Submit to save the access control rule.
