specific files or directories on your Web site. If you want to control who can
configure the Web server itself, see

The NetWare Enterprise Web server can be secured using either Novell
eDirectory or local database modes. While in eDirectory mode, you manage
TM
access control through NetWare file system trustees.
Novell eDirectory offers unparalleled directory services and is the best choice
for use with NetWare Web Services. eDirectory is one of the easiest and most
powerful directory services available today and is included with NetWare 6.
eDirectory is the default directory service mode for use by the NetWare
Enterprise Web Server. We recommend that you use eDirectory mode.
For a comparison of eDirectory, local database, and LDAP modes for use with
the Enterprise Web Server, see
Control User Access to Network Resources," on page
Access control lets you determine who can access the server. There are two
options for controlling access:
User-Group: Requires users to enter a username and password before
accessing the server. Or the server can use client authentication by
checking an LDAP directory for a security certificate before giving
access to a file or set of files on your Web site.
Host-IP: Requires the user to view your Web site from a specific
computer, where the server recognizes the computer by either its
hostname or its IP address.
