Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference

check-acl

Applicable in PathCheck-class directives.

The check-acl function specifies an access control list (ACL) to use to check whether the client is allowed to access the requested resource. An access control list contains information about who is or is not allowed to access a resource, and under what conditions access is allowed.

Regardless of the order of PathCheck directives in the object, check-acl functions are executed first. They cause user authentication to be performed, if required by the specified ACL, and will also update the access control state.

Parameters

The following table describes parameters for the check-acl function.
