NetLinx Security

User Name

A user name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) defining the user . This string is case sensitive. Each user name must be unique.

Group Name

A group name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) defining the group. This string is case sensitive. Each group name must be unique.

Password

A password is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) to supplement the user name in defining the potential client. This string is also case sensitive.

Access Rights

Each of the features of the NetLinx master has security procedures defined for them. The access right for a particular feature determines if the user / group is to have access to the feature (make use of the feature).

Directory Associations

A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user or group can access via the HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx master. This character string can range from 1 to 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string is case sensitive. This is the path to the file or directory you want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user) directory of the master. All subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.

A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's sub- directory. 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:

Path	Notes
/	Enables access to the user directory and all files and subdi-
	rectories in the user directory.
/*	Enables access to the user directory and all files and subdi-
	rectories in the 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.
/results.txt	results.txt is a file in the user directory and access is
	granted to that file.

By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no other Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
