You can set access rights to files and directories on your Web site. In addition
to allowing or denying all access rights, you can specify a rule that allows or
denies partial access rights. For example, you can give people read-only
access rights to your files, so they can view the information, but not change
the files. This is particularly useful when you use the Web publishing feature
to publish documents.
When you create an access control rule, the default access rights are set to all
access rights. To change access rights, click the appropriate link in the Rights
column in the top frame, then check or uncheck the access rights you want to
set for a particular rule. The following list describes each access right you can
check.
Read Access: Lets a user view a file. This access right includes the HTTP
methods GET, HEAD, POST, and INDEX.
Write Access: Lets a user change or delete a file. This access right
includes the HTTP methods PUT, DELETE, MKDIR, RMDIR, and
MOVE.
Execute Access: Applies to server-side applications, such as CGI
programs, Java applets, and agents.
Delete Access: Lets users delete a file or directory.
List Access: Lets a user get directory information. That is, they can get a
list of the files in that directory. This applies to Web Publisher and to
directories that don't contain an INDEX.HTML file.
Info Access: Lets a user get headers (HTTP_HEAD method). This is
mainly used by the Web Publisher.
You can enter custom expressions for an ACL. You can use this feature if you
are familiar with the syntax and structure of ACL files. There are a few
features available only by editing the ACL file or creating custom expressions.
For example, you can restrict access to your server depending on the time of
day, day of the week, or both.
The following customized expression shows how you could restrict access by
time of day and day of the week. This example assumes you have two groups
in your LDAP directory: the Regular group gets access Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Critical group gets access all the time.
