To secure a directory you need to place a file named “.htaccess” in the desired directory (ie: secure) for example:
/home/netID/edu.uconn.sitename/public_html/secure/.htaccess
Two example .htaccess files
- Allow anyone with a valid netID access
AuthType CAS
require valid-user - Allow only certain users access
AuthType CAS
require user NetID1
require user NetID2
To capture the NetID of the user who's logged into the secure directory, using the following code in your index.php file in the secure directory:
$netid=$_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER'];
