Domain Restriction

CREATE FILE ".htaccess" IN THE WEB DIRECTORY TO BE PROTECTED. The file looks like this, with alterations to the "AuthName" and "allow" lines as desired.

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "CU Boulder Only"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .colorado.edu
</Limit>
(Leave an extra blank line at the bottom of the file, lest the server think the last tag is incomplete...)

The above would limit access (to all files in the same directory) to only browers on *.colorado.edu computers. One can permit access from specific computers as well as domains; for example, the following .htaccess would permit access from the specified computers (2 from Colorado State, 1 from MIT) and from any computer at CU Boulder:

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "CU Boulder Only"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from banach.colostate.edu
allow from newton.colostate.edu
allow from snoopy.mit.edu
allow from .colorado.edu
</Limit>
