 Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:05 am Post subject: Access Control Not Working |
 |
|
I have created 3 users, assigned then UserIDs and Password. I have then allowed access to these 2 users to a directory. I have selected the order as "Allow/Deny".
However, the web site directory is opening through any web browser without asking for Userid or password. i.e. it is not denying access or asking for the userid and password..instead, it directly opens up the directory listing.
Any ideas?

Allow/Deny will allow everyone except them. Deny/Allow will deny all but them.
Edit: I think. Can't remember how it looks.

As far as I can tell, Allow/Deny allows no-one except them, and Deny/Allow allows everyone except those on the deny list.

My bad then, used to Apache.
If you've figured it out, then what's the problem?

spagarwal,
If you're not getting the browser dialog asking for authentication when you browse that directory, this usually means that you've not entered the correct virtual path to protect when defining your access rule. So please check it.

From Abyss Web Server For Windows User's Guide: | Quote: | Access Control
To restrict and manage the access to paths in your web site, select Access Control in the advanced server configuration.
To edit, remove or add path access rules, use the displayed table.
The path access edition dialog contains the following fields:
Virtual Path: The virtual path which contents' access is to be restricted. It must always begin with a slash /. This field accepts also path patterns. In that case, the access rule applies to any virtual path that matches with the specified pattern. Refer to the "Patterns Format" appendix for more information about patterns.
Realm: A short description of the path's contents. It is prompted to users by the browser when it asks them for credentials.
Order: The order that the server follows to check if access is granted to a user. If it is set to Allow/Deny, access is denied by default and is allowed only if the user is in the Allow Access To list and is not in the Deny Access To list. If it is set to Deny/Allow, access is allowed by default and is denied only if the user is in the Deny Access To list and is not in the Allow Access To list.
Allow Access To: The list of users and groups for whom access is allowed.
Deny Access To: The list of users and groups for whom access is denied. |

|
|
My server is working great. I just want to give Access Control to someone external to some files in a folder. I've had to use port 8080 as 80 was blocked by my ISP, so don't know if that complicates my virtual path
I have it set up with one user etc my path is /docs/ the files are in folder <docs>. Access from another computer on my network is: 192.168.20:8080/docs
It prompts me for username and password, but then gives me a 403 access denied error....so I expect there is a path problem. I have no problems otherwise with any access to console or web pages...tried many combinations...
Ideas anyone?

| Enable the Directory Listing option. Does that get rid of the 403 error? |

Thanks for the tip.....actually I'll have to have a look at that, but I did get the Access feature working, when I put a small "index.hmt" file in <docs>. Then the thing asked for username and password and I was in.....still a few things to sort out though
