Description

Access control, which has always been a pain in httpd, has moved into the 21st century with the 2.4 release. Come learn how to do fine-grained access control with these new tools.

Abstract

The old "allow from", "deny from" syntax in httpd was confusing and limiting. 2.4 introduces access control tools that let you do what you mean, rather than making do with what you're allowed.

Topics covered include

  • Access control by host
  • Access control using the expression engine
  • Recipes to replace what you've been doing in the past
  • RequireAny, RequireAll, and RequireNone
  • Combinations of various access requirements
