AMX NI-3000, NI-4000 Valid Directory Association Entries, User Directory Association Entries

NetLinx Security and Web Server

A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's subdirectory. The '/*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should start with a '/'. Here are some examples of valid entries:

Valid Directory Association Entries

Path	Description
/	Enables access to the user directory and all files and
	subdirectories in that user directory.
/*	Enables access to the user directory and all files and
	subdirectories in that user directory.
/user1	If user1 is a file in the user directory, only the file is granted
	access. If user1 is a subdirectory of the user directory, all files in
	the user1 and its sub-directories are granted access.
/user1/	user1 is a subdirectory of the user directory. All files in the
	user1 and its sub-directories are granted access.
/Room1/iWebControlPages/*	/Room1/iWebControlPages is a subdirectory and all files and
	its subdirectories are granted access.

By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no other

Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
