4.
Click Wildcard in the Pick a resource section and enter a wildcard pattern.
For example,
*.cgi.
5.
Click Edit Access Control.
6.
Create a new rule to allow read access to all users.
7.
Create another rule that allows write and delete access only to a specified
group.
8.
Submit and Apply your changes.
For file type restriction, you would leave both continue boxes checked. If a request
for a file comes in, the server will then check the ACL for the file type first.
A Pathcheck function is created in
obj.conf
that may include wildcard patterns
for files or directories. The entry in the ACL file would appear as follows:
acl "*.cgi";
Restricting Access Based on Time of Day
You can restrict write and delete access to the server or during specified hours or
on specified days. You might use this to prevent people from publishing
documents during working hours when people might be accessing the files.
To limit access based on time of day, using the steps described for setting access
control for a server instance, you would:
1.
Use the Server Manager to select the server instance.
2.
Choose the Preferences tab.
3.
Click the Restrict Access link.
4.
Select the entire server from the drop-down list in Pick a Resource and click
Edit Access Control.
5.
Create a new rule allowing read and execute rights to all.
This means that if a user wants to add, update, or delete a file or directory, this
rule won’t apply and the server will search for another rule that matches.
6.
Create another new rule denying write and delete rights to all.
7.
Click X link to create a customized expression.
