Gil -

I respond a lot here but I don't know everything.  In particular, while I
can tell you how the web client should work in a standard environment, I
don't know beans about extending it.

Perhaps someone else knows the answer.  If not, you'll have to call Support
and get an official one.

James:
  I have a similar request. I am running Apache on my production NV4.1 and
I am planning to upgrade to NV 5.1.
The Apache web server has lots of network documentation pages, not all
pages are secured. When I do the upgrade I would want to add the existing
pages to NV 5.1 Apache server and have security turned on for NV 5.1 pages
and a few others but not all.
Is anyone out there doing this?
Do I need to run 2 Apache web server, one for NV5.1 and the other for all
others.

The web sever has been customized for NetView and you may not be able to
make the mods you want.
The only security we provide is through NetView's security.  You turn that
on and control access with nvsec_admin.   So it is an all-or-nothing thing.
You could give everyone unrestricted access to everything else except the
web client.  Users would then have to use nvauth after they login to UNIX
to get that access.

Hi,

Sorry if this question seems stupid, but I don't have any documentation
about the web security Apache.

I 'd like to limit the access of the Netview Web server. I have tried to
build a password file ("user.www") using the "htpassword" command and
tried to modify the access.conf but it's doesn't works.
The Browser never show me the login dialog box.

Is this syntax correct for my file access.conf ? :

AllowOverride All

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
allow from all
</Limit>
</Directory>


# You may place any other directories or locations you wish to have
# access information for after this one.

<Directory /usr/OV/web/httpd/htdocs>
AuthName        Test
AuthType        Basic
AuthUserFile    /usr/OV/web/httpd/conf/user.www
AuthGroupFile   /usr/OV/web/httpd/conf/group.www

<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
</Directory>

thanks
