Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP10 Administrator's Configuration File Reference

check-acl

Applicable in PathCheck-class directives.

The check-acl function specifies an access control list (ACL) to check whether the client is allowed to access the requested resource. An ACL 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 perform user authentication if required by the specified ACL, and also update the access control state. Because the server caches the ACLs returned by the check-acl function, do no use check-acl inside a Client tag or container.

Parameters

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