Setting Access Restrictions
Security realms are used to define the SmartServer’s security access restrictions. A realm consists of a
URL (folder in SmartServer), group (users group name), and location (IP address range from where the
URL may be accessed).
URLs are defined with the assumption that you are starting from the root directory of the Web site, and
not the SmartServer. For example, to restrict access to
http://building10/forms/floor3/ the URL must
be defined as “/forms/floor3/*”. The wildcard is required in order to place this setting across the
entire directory. To restrict access to the whole site you need to use the URL “/*.” The following
figure shows examples of URLs (note that the leading “/” is required syntax).
URL: /* URL: /forms/* URL: /forms/floor3/*

Users and Groups
Individuals who can access the SmartServer with a user name and password are called users. Users are
organized into groups. Each group must contain one or more users, and all users in a given group will
have identical access. A group can contain a maximum of 16 users. This limit is not enforced by the
Web Server Parameter utility. If you add more than 16 users to a group, the SmartServer will ignore
all users after the 16
th
. If each user must have different access rights, you must define a group for each
user.
