Denying access with .htaccess
Every directory protected this way should have an index.html file that is given out when a request is made for a list of files in the directory. Without that file, a request for the directory will list all of the files in the directory. Create a file named .htaccess within your directory (note the leading period). This file is consulted by the Web server to determine whether or not to allow access. AuthType Basic <Limit GET> order deny,allow deny from all allow from .domain.co.uk allow from .domain.com </Limit> or
<Limit GET>
order allow,deny deny from 124.24.41 deny from 205.158.256.213 allow from all </Limit> In the case of the example .htaccess file (above) which restricts access to domain.co.uk and domain.com addresses, only hosts which have a valid domain name registered in the Domain Name System (DNS) will be allowed access. If you wish to also allow access to U-M hosts without a DNS entry, you can include the following lines in the .htaccess file (in addition to the existing lines in the example): allow from 195.112 allow from 195.113 allow from 195.114 These additional lines must be after the order directive and before the tag. |
