Web Access Restriction Form

Fill in the term and course name below. For this to work, you must be recognized as faculty by your whitepages information, or you must have clearance from the Registrar to deal with classlist information.

If you use this feature, the first three fields must all be completed. The only optional field is section.

Term: Major: Course Number: Section:

You will not be a member of this group, not being in the student list, so you might want to list yourself as an additional member in order for you to be able to see how your own pages appear via the web. You might also want to list TAs' logins. Note that these are just CCC UNIX login names, not email addresses, so they are not name@WPI.EDU, but simply name.

Additional Members:

create a new .htaccess file, potentially replacing an old one, with the command results.
append the command results to an existing .htaccess list.

Path to the web directory to be restricted:

The directory above, and any directories under it, will be affected by the restriction.

The path must start with a slash, /, or tilde slash, ~/.

The / is the path into the WPI web. For example, if the course pages you wish to restrict reside in your department's area of the WPI Web Server, you might use a path like the following:

/Academics/Depts/Chemistry/Courses/CH1110/Restricted

If it starts with ~/, then the rest of the path is relative to http://www.wpi.edu/~username/ in your personal web space.

After this web page is processed the directory path you specify, and all the directories and files under it, will be placed in the group nobody, which is a group only accessible by the web, and the access, other than your own, to the data will be removed. This will leave the web as the only way for others to access the data, and will leave the access file you create by this page in control of that access.
