Apple Mac OS X Server Between terms, make sure you enclose the entire message, Quotation marks

Terms not in angle brackets are keywords. Anything in angle brackets is information you supply. Save the access file as plain text (not as .rtf or any other file format).

Parameter	Description
message	Text your users see when the login window appears. It’s optional. If
	your message contains any white space (such as a space character
	between terms), make sure you enclose the entire message in
	quotation marks.
user filename	The path and filename of the user file.
	Â For Mac OS X, the default is /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/
	qtusers.
	Â For Windows, it is c:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming
	Server\qtusers.
	Â For other supported platforms, it is: /etc/streaming/qtusers.
group filename	The path and filename of the group file.
	Â For Mac OS X, the default is /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/
	qtgroups.
	Â For Windows, it is c:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming
	Server\qtgroups.
	Â For other supported platforms, it is /etc/streaming/qtgroups.
	A group file is optional. If you have many users, it may be easier to
	set up one or more groups, and then enter the group names, than
	to list each user.
username	A user who is authorized to log in and view the media file. The
	user’s name must be in the user file you specified. You can also
	specify valid-user, which designates any valid user.
groupname	A group whose members are authorized to log in and view the
	media file. The group and its members must be listed in the group
	file you specified.

You can use these additional user tags:

Âvalid-useris any user defined in the qtusers file. The statement require valid- user specifies that any authenticated user in the qtusers file can have access to the media files. If this tag is used, the server will prompt users for an appropriate user name and password.

Âany-userallows any user to view media without providing a name or password.

You can also add the keyword AuthScheme with the values basic or digest to a qtaccess file. This overrides the global authentication setting on a folderfolder-by- folder basis.

If you make changes to the default qtaccess access file, be aware that making any changes to broadcast user settings in Streaming Server Admin will modify the default qtaccess file at the root level of the Movies folder. Any modifications you made prior to this will not be preserved.
