To limit access to a file type

1. Use the Server Manager to select the server instance.

2. Choose the Preferences tab.

3. Click the Restrict Access link.

4. Click Wildcard in the Pick a resource section and enter a wildcard pattern.

   For example, *.cgi.

5. Click Edit Access Control.

6. Create a new rule to allow read access to all users.

7. Create another rule that allows write and delete access only to a specific group.

8. Submit and Apply your changes.

   For file type restriction, leave both continue boxes checked. If a request for a file comes in, the server will then check the ACL for the file type first.

   A Pathcheck function is created in the obj.conf file that might include wildcard patterns for files or directories. The entry in the ACL file would appear as follows: acl “*.cgi”;
