The "Limit" Statement

Here are some example situations that require different sets of instructions:

• The instruction to allow access to a single user is:

  require user {username}

  where username is an entry in the .htpasswd file.

  ---

• The instruction to allow access to a group of people is:

  require group {groupname}

  where groupname is the name of a group in the .htgroup file.

  ---

• The instruction to allow access to any user inside a certain domain is:

  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from {domain name}

  where domain name is, surprisingly enough, the name of the domain to allow access to (ie. .cec.wustl.edu)

  ---

• The instruction to deny access to any user inside a certain domain is:

  order allow,deny
  allow from all
  deny from {domain name}

  where domain name is, again, the intended domain name to deny access to.
