The object configuration file, obj.conf , configures initialization and operation of the SAFs for each step in the request-response process. You'll edit this file to install and configure custom SAFs. It will be covered in detail in the next section. The obj.conf file controls the initialization and request-response process for the server. It contains directive lines for initialization and for all the request-response steps.
Some examples are CGI programs, private directories, and custom file types.
Directive lines determine which SAFs will be executed at each step in the request-response process. Server access control occurs in two stages. AuthTrans verifies the authenticity of the user. Later, PathCheck tests the user's access privileges for the requested resource. NameTrans - Translates the URL specified in the request from a virtual path to a physical file system path for the requested resource.
