Resource Types

The following resource types are allowed, with examples to illustrate:

Type Example Explanation
Disk e: Specifies all files and directories on the E drive.
Directory e:/pub/ Specifies all files and directories underneath the pub directory on the E drive.
/pub/ Specifies all files and directories underneath the pub directory on any drive.
File *.htm* Specifies all files with an extension starting with htm, regardless of the drive or directory.
*/public/ok* Specifies all files that start with the letters "ok" and which reside in a directory named "public", regardless of which drive and what level in the disk directory hierarchy.

Type	Example	Explanation
Disk	e:	Specifies all files and directories on the E drive.
Directory	e:/pub/	Specifies all files and directories underneath the pub directory on the E drive.
/pub/	Specifies all files and directories underneath the pub directory on any drive.
File	.htm	Specifies all files with an extension starting with htm, regardless of the drive or directory.
/public/ok	Specifies all files that start with the letters "ok" and which reside in a directory named "public", regardless of which drive and what level in the disk directory hierarchy.

Defaults

If you start the server without any configuration file, it will automatically create the necessary resources, templates and user databases to allow you to operate the server.

Config:/Security/Resource/*/
Setting Explanation Default /
Example Data
Type Access
R,W,A,D
Override Set to FALSE to disregard any subsequent rules that match this resource. This is equivalent to setting all the other "Override" variables to FALSE.
Set to TRUE and selectively enable the other "Override" variables if you wish to allow subsequent matching resources to modify the security specification found for this resource.
Yes Integer R,W
OverrideAuthenticate Set to TRUE to allow overrides of Authenticate/ variables in subsequent matching resources. Yes Integer R,W
OverrideFileInfo Set to TRUE to allow overrides of FileInfo/ variables in subsequent matching resources. Yes Integer R,W
OverrideHook Set to TRUE to allow overrides of Hook/ variables in subsequent matching resources. Yes Integer R,W
OverrideIndex Set to TRUE to allow overrides of Index/ variables in subsequent matching resources. Yes Integer R,W
OverrideAccess Set to TRUE to allow overrides of Access/ variables in subsequent matching resources. Yes Integer R,W
Template The name of the Template which defines the settings to apply. Templates are stored under the Config:/Security/Template directory.
If you have a set of security settings that you have already defined for a resource, but wish to use for other resources, you can either copy those settings to each of the resources, or set up a Template within the Template Editor and then simply using the new template for each of the affected Resources within the Resource Editor. This also means that any change to the template will be automatically propagated to each of the resources that refer to it.
If you wish to selectively override settings or apply settings from several templates, leave this variable empty and set the individual "TemplateXX" variables. This is done for you automatically if you use the Resource Workflow Wizard.
Default Text R,W
TemplateAuthenticate Use the given template's Authenticate/ settings. (none) Text R,W
TemplateFileInfo Use the given template's FileInfo/ (Document) settings, excluding the sub-directories containing the MIME definitions. (none) Text R,W
TemplateFileInfoLists Use the given template's FileInfo/*/ MIME types only, not the top-level Document settings. (none) Text R,W
TemplateHook Use the given template's Hook/ settings. (none) Text R,W
TemplateIndex Use the given template's Directory Index/ settings, excluding the file pattern lists for items such as descriptions, attaching icons, etc. (none) Text R,W
TemplateIndexLists Use the given template's Directory Index/*/ settings for items such as descriptions, attaching icons, etc, but don't use the top-level variables specifying the Readme file, etc. (none) Text R,W
TemplateAccess Use the given template's Access/ Control settings. (none) Text R,W
