Adding Protection to a Directory

Before you begin setting up directory protection, make sure you have all the required information. For an overview of the directory protection process, see the topic About setting up protected directories.

Tip: You can only protect entire directories. If you want to protect a single file, either place that file in an existing protected directory, or create a protected directory specifically for that file.

Note: The WEBppliance Help topics about setting up and managing protected directories pertain only to the directory protection feature provided by WEBppliance. If your domain supports Microsoft FrontPage, the WEBppliance directory protection forms do not show up in your workspace window; instead, you will see links to the Microsoft FrontPage administration pages. For information on using the FrontPage directory protection feature, see the Microsoft FrontPage user guide.

To add protection to a directory:

1. Open the Apache Web Server Manager.

2. In the Apache Web Server Manager menu, click Protect Directories.

   The Protect Directories (HTAccess Configuration) form opens, showing a list of the directories residing on your Web server. The directories are identified as either unprotected or protected.

3. From the directory list, locate the directory you want to protect and in the Actions column, click .

   The Protect Directory form opens.

4. In the AuthName field, enter a descriptive name for the directory you want to protect.

   For example, to protect a directory of employee salary information, type Salaries.

5. In the Add to Group(s) field, specify the groups that are allowed to access this directory.

   Tip: You can select or clear multiple directories by pressing and holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the directory names.

6. Click Protect.
