Restricting Access

You can control access to the entire server or to parts of the server (that is,
directories, files, file types) using the Server Manager's Restrict Access page. 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.
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 173 in Chapter 8, "Controlling Access to Your
Server."
