Restricting Access to Specific BU Individuals

When to use

Use this code when you want a file to be viewed only by specific individuals in the BU community. Visitors will be prompted to give their BU login name and Kerberos password when they try to view files restricted in this way.

This is not a practical method of restricting access to a large number of individuals.

CODE EXAMPLE:

AuthType weblogin
<Limit GET POST>
require user alias
</Limit>

Notes

  1. Copy and paste this code as outlined in Protect Your Subdirectory. You must modify the code.
  2. Replace alias with the user's BU alias. To find an individual's alias, search the Electronic Directory by their name. Their alias is their login name or e-mail name (the portion before the @).
  3. You can limit access to several individuals. Simply add additional require user alias lines below the first one.

EXAMPLE:

To restrict access to Susan Mix, Ron Yeany, and Richard Mendez, you would use this exact code:

AuthType weblogin
<Limit GET POST>
require user smix
require user ryeany
require user mendez
</Limit>
