Configure Apache 2.0 for subwebs with unique permissions?
|
|
|
| Alas, Microsoft is no longer supporting the FrontPage Server Extensions for
Unix. I am trying to set up my Apache 2.0 webserver to allow access from our
FrontPage client software.
I decided to use WebDAV as this seems to be the up and coming thing in the
Open Source arena.
The problem I am having is figuring out how to create "subwebs" with unique
permissions.
I want this scenario:
Admins can access all
users can only access their own directories.
The problem lies when I try to access the "subwebs" while logged into the
top level of the site. I get the box asking for the login.
I want to be able as an admin to log into the top level of the site and then
be able to access, edit, delete, move, whatever any file/directory down the
tree regardless of whether it is a "subweb" or not.
I am defining a "subweb" as a <Directory> container in my httpd.conf file
for each individual user.
Example:
<Directory /var/www/html>
<Limit CONNECT PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
require user admin
</Limit>
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/joe>
<Limit CONNECT PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
require user joe
</Limit>
</Directory>
I want the admin to be able to access and do all while joe can only access
his subdirectory.
MICROSOFT if you are going to take away the FPSE for Unix then PLEASE do
some good documentation so that we admins can configure Apache to accommodate
FrontPage client users with WebDAV in the same way that we could with FPSE
before!

| There are no FP extensions for Apache under Windows, if this is what you are running. Without the FP
extensions you can not create subwebs.

| I am talking about setting up WebDAV shares to enable FrontPage 2003 clients
to connect to an Apache webserver.

| But you are talking about subwebs, and that is a function of the FP extensions.
