RE: AliasMatch, and MapMatch

Yea, I need to rethink this whole deal. We do have a firewall, and users
get to the 400 via VPN, but there is no DNS or WINS in place for the VPN
users to resolve the host portion of the URL. I may either need to hard
code the IP address of our Apache server into the link, or provide a HOST
table entry for each remote user.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

If you guys have a firewall up, you may need your remote users to have
some kind of VPN access to bypass that...

Sorry,

The problem is it doesn't redirect. I want to be able to require a
password from someone connecting from the internet, but not from within my
network. Maybe I'm a bit confused between <Location> and <Directory>.

What we do is send email links do documents on the IFS. Most are sent
within the network, but we do have a few remote folks. My boss thought you
should need a password to be able to connect from the internet, and get
the documents.

Thanks,

Mark

hmmm.. you didn't say what the problem was...

but... I have never used the location and the aliasmatch in this way.

For system passwords I have always secured the target directory with the
Directory directive and not the Location directive. Don't know if that
makes a difference, but probably worth the try.

Also, you should only need the AliasMatch, not the MapMatch. The
MapMatch is iSeries specific.

Lastly, what about UserID %%SERVER%%?
