Require User Authentication Configuration
Description
Specifies which users are allowed to access documents via the method(s) in
the enclosing
limit
section.
When evaluating a require, the server will use the current
user and
group files.
Parameters
One or more entities to match for a require.
If there is more than one entity for a require, the user name/password
combination only needs to be valid for any one of the entities. Each
entity can be one of:
valid-user-
Allows any user from the current user file (if they provide a valid
password).
valid-user-profile-
Allows any user with a user profile. This is only meant to be used in
conjuction with a Webulator signon entry of
UseAuthentication.
user ["comments"] user-name-
Specifies that the user name/password combination must be correct for the
user in user-name. The comments parameter is ignored
by the server and may contain any information useful to you.
If this is used in a directory with a
Webulator/400 signon of
UseAuthentication, the user is expected to be a user profile
and does not have to be listed in a user file.
group group-name-
Specifies that the user name/password combination must be correct for any one
of the users in group identified by group-name.
none-
Allows any user access. This has the effect of turning off user
authentication for the current limit section. Note that if any other require
entries are combined with
none, none will always
take precedence.
Default If No Entry Found
If no require entry is found in a limit section, user authentication will not
be used.
File Syntax
require entity [entity] ...
Multiple require entries may exist in the same limit section. If more than
one require entry is found, they will be treated as though each entity were
on the same require line.
