Virtual Server: Rules

Besides the connection handler set for the rule, there are other parameters that can be set in order to customize the rule behavior. This menu offers the following tabs:

  1. Rule: this is the rule type, as explained in the Virtual servers section.

  2. Handler: It allows to fine tune the behavior of any of the available handlers. Since so many options are available, there is an independent section of the documentation to explain things named Handler Options.

  3. Security: in this section one can configure Access Restrictions and Authentication.

Access Restrictions

Examples

Authentication

This parameter allows to configure user/password protected entries. A validator has to be used in each Auth entry in order to specify the validaton mechanism. The following validators are available:

It is important to take into consideration that there are two different authentication mechanisms:

Some validators can only handle one of those mechanisms because of techical limitations. In case the module supports both of them, the interface allows to choose whether one or both are to be used.
