User Name
A user name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) defining the user . This
string is case sensitive. Each user name must be unique.
Group Name
A group name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) defining the group. This
string is case sensitive. Each group name must be unique.
Password
A password is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) to supplement the user
name in defining the potential client. This string is also case sensitive.
Access Rights
Each of the features of the NetLinx master has security procedures defined for them. The access
right for a particular feature determines if the user / group is to have access to the feature (make use
of the feature).
Directory Associations
A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user or
group can access via the HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx master. This character string can
range from 1 to 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string is case sensitive. This is the path to the
file or directory you want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user) directory of
the master. All subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's sub-
directory. The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should start
with a '/'. Here are some examples of valid entries:
By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no other
Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
Path Notes
/ Enables access to the user directory and all files and subdi-
rectories in the user directory.
/* Enables access to the user directory and all files and subdi-
rectories in the user directory.
/user1 If user1 is a file in the user directory, only the file is granted
access. If user1 is a subdirectory of the user directory, all
files in the user1 and its sub-directories are granted access.
/user1/ user1 is a subdirectory of the user directory. All files in the
user1 and its sub-directories are granted access.
/Room1/iWebControlPages/* /Room1/iWebControlPages is a subdirectory and all files
and its subdirectories are granted access.
/results.txt results.txt is a file in the user directory and access is
granted to that file.
