.htaccess Security Considerations
By default, server support for HTTP PUT is disabled. You can activate HTTP PUT
using the Remote File Manipulation page of Content Mgmt in the Class Manager.
Great care should be taken in allowing PUT access to directories containing
.htaccess
files, since it will allow them to be replaced. PUT access can be
prevented on all files in a directory by restricting access. See “Restricting Access to
a Directory (Path),” on page 188.
Controlling Access for Virtual Servers
Access control information in Enterprise Server 6.0 can come from a per-virtual
server ACL file and
.htaccess
files in the document directories.
Your
server.xml
file can contain one or more ACLFILE tags which define an ID
associated to a particular standard Enterprise Server 6.x ACL file. For example:
<ACLFILE id="standard" file="standard.acl">
For virtual servers to use access control you must create a reference to one or more
ACL file IDs in their ‘aclids’ property. Example:
<VS aclids="standard">
