Enabling Security on the CERN server

The CERN HTTPD server has a fairly sophisticated set of security features that can be enabled. Basically, they fall into three categories:

• Restricting hosts that can access areas of the server.
• Restricting users that can access areas of the server
• Restricting access to individual files

• Restricting hosts
• Restricting Users
• Protecting Access to Individual Files using Access Control Lists
