WebAuth is a web site protection scheme that allows you to restrict access to your web pages.
Users log in with their NetIDs and passwords to gain access to restricted sites.
We have created a tool to help Brown web publishers implement WebAuth on their sites. This tool, called the Htaccess Tool, asks you a few questions about how you would like your site protected, and then returns a page containing a text file, called an .htaccess file . You then simply copy and paste the result into your text editor, save, and then move to the server. Another way is to specify the NetIDs of the individuals who should have access to your pages. Once you know the name of the group you wish to use, select it from the menu on the Htaccess Tool, check the corresponding box, and click Submit.
