ACL File Syntax
398
Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide • November 2001
•
URI (Uniform Resource Indicator) ACLs
specify a directory or file relative to
the server’s document root.
•
Named ACLs
specify a name that is referenced in resources in the
obj.conf
file. The server comes with a “default” named resource that allows read access
to anyone and write access to users in the LDAP directory. Even though you
can create a named ACL from the Enterprise Server windows, you must
manually reference the named ACLs with resources in the
obj.conf
file.
Path and URI ACLs can include wildcards at then end of the entry. For example:
/a/b/*.
Wildcards placed anywhere except at the end of the entry will not work.
The type line begins with the letters
acl
and then includes the type information in
double-quotation marks followed by a semicolon. Each type information for all
ACLs must be a unique name--even among different ACL files. The following lines
are examples of several different types of ACLs:
acl "path=C:/Netscape/Servers/docs/mydocs/";
acl "default";
acl "uri=/mydocs/";
After you define the type of ACL, you can have one or more statements that define
the method used with the ACL (authentication statements) and the people and
computers who are allowed or denied access (authorization statements). The
following sections describe the syntax for these statements.
This section includes the following topics:
•
Authentication Methods
•
Authorization Statements
•
The Default ACL File
Authentication Methods
ACLs can optionally specify the authentication method the server must use when
processing the ACL. There are three general methods:
•
Basic (default)
•
Digest
•
SSL
Basic and digest require users to enter a username and password before accessing a
resource.
