Creating a text file called "htaccess.txt" is a simple way to password protect certain Web pages.
Create a new file in any text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Text Edit (Mac) and name it htaccess.txt. Copy the following content into your htaccess.txt file.
Code:
NovellAuth on
AuthName "Novell Tree"
AuthType login.clemson.edu
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
This example will allow access to anyone with a valid Clemson userid and password (more options below).
Save the file and upload it to the folder you want to password protect. If you are using Cascade, you will need to publish it to the server before you will see the protection. Please note that if you have already logged in recently you may need to restart your browser before it will ask you to re-login.
----------
The level of security varies with the options outlined in the file.
If you want to limit access to specific userids, then you would replace the line:
Code:
require valid-user
with something like:
Code:
require user terriv
require user cryan
require user bundric
This would allow only the users terriv, cryan and bundric access.
Maybe you want to restrict access to just employees?Code:
require group .employee.clemsonu
Or perhaps only users of a specific blackboard workgroup?Code:
require group .WORKGROUP_NAME_HERE.workgroups.SiteSets.CLEMSONU
