The keywords below are all modifiers that affect the level of
security of certain areas in the service. They can be applied to an
entire service, a session, a show, a flash, or an exit statement.
- htaccess
- Takes as argument a string designating a file that is to be used
for login-password verification through the browser/web-server
built-in htaccess protocol.
- md5
- This built-in (message digest 5) function, md5, takes a string and returns a
string, namely the md5 hash value of the argument given.
- selective
- This modifier takes a comma separated list of string expressions
in parentheses as arguments and verifies that the IP number of the
client is in this list. There are three possibilities for the strings
in the list:
- A (partial) domain-name: Host whose name is, or ends in,
this string are allowed access.
- A full IP address: An IP address of a host allowed access
- A partial IP address: The first 1 to 3 bytes of an IP
address, for subnet restriction.
- singular
- This modifier will cause the server to inspect the IP number of
the client when the session is started and subsequently verify that it
does not change. Thus, it makes sure the client remains the same
throughout the execution of the session.
- ssl
- This modifier will make the entire service or a particular session
subject to the SSL cryptographic protocol. It requires that the web
server supports SSL.
