Restricting Server Access
You can control access to the entire server or to parts of the server (that is,
directories, files, file types). When the server evaluates an incoming request, it
determines access based on a hierarchy of rules called access-control entries
(ACEs), and then it uses the matching entries to determine if the request is allowed
or denied. Each ACE specifies whether or not the server should continue to the
next ACE in the hierarchy. The collection of ACEs is called an access-control list
(ACL). When a request comes in to the server, the server looks in vsclass.
(where vsclass is the virtual server class name) for a reference to an ACL, which is
then used to determine access. By default, the server has one ACL file that contains
multiple ACLs.
You can set access control globally for all servers through the Administration
Server or for a resource within a specific server instance through the Server
Manager. For more information about setting access control for a resource, see
"Setting Access Control," on page 171 in Chapter 8, "Controlling Access to Your
Server."
NOTE
To restrict access to your Enterprise Servers, perform the following steps:
Access the Administration Server and choose the Global Settings tab.
1.
Click the Restrict Access link.
2.
Select the desired server and click Edit ACL.
3.
The Administration Server displays the access control rules for the server you
specified.
Make the desired access control changes and click OK. For more information, see
The Restrict Access Page in the online help.
Configuring JRE/JDK Paths
When you install Enterprise Server, you can choose to install the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), which is bundled with Enterprise Server, or you can specify a
path to the Java Development Kit (JDK), which you must install separately. See the
Netscape Enterprise Server Installation and Migration Guide for more information.
You must turn on distributed administration before you can restrict server
access.
