Introduction

Through using a template, you can define access control and document settings once, and then apply those same settings to many other resources. If you then wish to revise your settings, you only need to do so in one place.

We STRONGLY suggest that you change your administration password now if you haven't already done so. You may also wish to restrict the users and hosts which are allowed access to the admin resources.

Config:/Security/Template/*/
Setting	Explanation
Template	The name of the template being defined.
Derived From Template	A template may derive from another template by inheriting its settings. You may then selectively override those settings that must be changed for the new template.
Authentication Settings	Defines how users will be authenticated. If these settings are defined, only users known to belong to a given security realm will be allowed access. To further restrict access by individual user name, or computer, use the "Users Allowed" settings within the "Access Control" settings page.
Access Control	This allows you to restrict access to documents according to the protocol and method of access. For example, you could grant permission to read documents, but not to execute CGI scripts, or you could grant access to FTP users, but exclude World Wide Web (HTTP) users. It also specifies which users (by name or group) and which computers (by host or address) are allowed to access resources protected by this template.
Document Settings	Define various aspects of your documents, such as mapping of filenames to MIME types.
Directory Indexes	Configures the automatic directory indexing of documents on your server.
API Hooks	Allows configuration of extensions to the server.
