I would like to restrict access to files accessed via http. I am using DOT 7.2. First I configured standard http services - everything is running smoothly. My settings:
httpd.access legacy httpd.admin.access legacy httpd.admin.enable off httpd.admin.hostsequiv.enable off httpd.admin.max_connections 1023 httpd.admin.ssl.enable on httpd.autoindex.enable off httpd.enable on httpd.log.format common httpd.method.trace.enable off httpd.rootdir /vol/docs httpd.timeout 300 httpd.timewait.enable off
/vol/docs is dedicated for http access FlexVol with ntfs access rights filer is configured also for CIFS in workgroup mode). Now I try to limit access to the services - one dedicated user and standard authentication is enough. In accordance to documentation I have prepared the following files:
/etc/httpd.passwd psuser:_J9..PYJ.MWfkaOhMiFc
/etc/httpd.group psgroup:psuser
/etc/httpd.access <Directory /vol/docs/> AuthName Dokumentacja PS <Limit GET> require user psuser </Limit> </Directory> <Directory /vol/docs/telco> AuthName Dokumentacja PS <Limit GET> require user psuser </Limit> </Directory>
But it does not work: anyone can access the files without any authentication. What am I missing? How can I troubleshoot http access? (httpd.log file does not contain anything helpful).
Best regards,
Jacek

Well, I tested and (under 7.2) it seems to work for me.

Example was directly from httpd.access manual page.
Are you sure access is not cached somewhere in between? Also http needs some time to catch up with changes.

Yes, I have tested that it is not caching issue.

Hi All,
The httpd.access file is critical.
The http functionality will only work for one volume as specified by httpd.rootdir
You must have all your qtrees in the above volume in the httpd.access file.
Give it a try.
Thanks Eugene =)

No, it is another problem. It is something LIKE:
<Directory /vol/http> AuthName My private stuff <Limit GET> require user dole </Limit> </Directory>
is working but
<Directory /vol/http> AuthName My private stuff <Limit GET> require user dole </Limit> </Directory>
is not working (I am not sure if the formatting will be preserved so short explanation: first example contains some intends, in second each single line starts in the first column).
But as I wrote earlier it is not quite clear for me why sometimes exactly the same syntax is working and sometimes not (I made copies of each config file so no typo was possible). The only difference I could see was the way of creating or modyfying the file (I edited the file using CIFS share and TED Notepad that supports Unix style text files; later I just used rdfile/wrfile). Unfortunately I am too busy now to check it precisely but I hope I will return to this topic in a week or so.
Best regards,
Jacek
