Chapter 3 Managing Websites 43
To make sure a website is working properly:
1 Open a web browser and type the web address of your server.
You can use either the IP address or the DNS name of the server. If you’ve enabled SSL,
be sure to use “https” in the URL instead of “http.”
2 Type the port number, if you are not using the default port.
3 If you’ve restricted access to specific users, enter a valid user name and password.
Setting Access for Websites
You can use realms to control access and provide security for websites by specifying
who has access to them. Realms are locations within a site (or the site itself) that users
can view. If WebDAV is enabled, users who have authoring privileges can also make
changes to content in the realm. You set up the realms and specify what users and
groups have access to them.
To set access using a realm:
1 In Server Admin, click Web in the list for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 In the Sites pane, double-click the site in the list.
4 In the Realms pane, select the realm you want to edit.
If no realm names are listed, create one using the instructions in “Enabling WebDAV on
Websites” on page 44.
5 To set access for all users, do one of the following:
If you want all users to browse or author, or both, select Can Browse or Can Author for
Everyone.
• When you select privileges for Everyone, you have these options:
• Can Browse allows everyone who can access this realm to see it. You can add
additional users and groups to the User or Group list to enable authoring for them.
• Can Browse and Can Author together allow everyone who has access to this realm to
see and make changes to it.
If you want to assign access to specific users (and not to all users), do not select Can
Browse or Can Author for Everyone.
6 To specify access for individual users and groups, click Users & Groups to open a drawer
listing users and groups.
7 Click Users or Groups in the drawer’s button bar to show the list you want.
8 Drag user names to the Users field or group names to the Groups field.
Note: You can also use the add (+) button to open a sheet in which you type a user or
group name and select access options.
