Following the client group is an access directive. The access directive is of the form access=value. The allowed access values are ip_allow, ip_deny, basic, generic, and custom. Depending on the access directive, you can further specify an authenticator program, users, and passwords, as in the following examples:
ip=127.0.0.1 access=”generic” authenticator=”homebrew” user=”joe”
hostname=myhost.com access=”basic” user=”joe” pass=”bob”
