Restricting Logins

Postby mujahed_khan » Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:58 am

Hi

I have mixed set user in my envirnoment, I have 100+ users. I want to restrict some of these users to login only from the local network and not from the internet, while allowing other users to login from internet and network. I have deployed the scalix server in network and forwarded all the ports to the ISP IP. how can I achieve this?

I don't know of an easy way to achieve this. If you can somehow only forward the port for some users (via VPN?) Or you can for example with SWA put some basic authentication on the pages before they are served. Otherwise I am not sure.

Put your auth requirements in the <Location /> block of the config file.

Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html

Hi

You can also restrict who has access to SWA via the SAC
Check the Advanded tab in the users mailbox in SAC
