Apache restrict access based on IP address to selected directories

Apache web server allows server access based upon various conditions. For example you just want to restrict access to url http://debugonconsole.com/ (mapped to /var/www/myapp/view directory) from 192.168.5.25/26 network (within intranet). Apache provides access control based on client hostname, IP address, or other characteristics of the client request using mod_access module. Open your httpd.conf file: # vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.confLocate directory section (for example /var/www/myapp/view) and set it as follows: <Directory /var/www/myapp/view> Order allow,deny Allow from 192.168.5.25/26 Allow from 127 </Directory> Where, Order allow,deny: The Order directive controls the default access state and the order in which Allow and Deny directives are evaluated. The (allow,deny) Allow directives are evaluated before the Deny directives. Access is denied by default. Any client which does not match an Allow directive or does match a Deny directive will be denied access to...

How to create a self-signed SSL Certificate

Overview The following is an extremely simplified view of how SSL is implemented and what part the certificate plays in the entire process. Normal web traffic is sent unencrypted over the Internet. That is, anyone with access to the right tools can snoop all of that traffic. Obviously, this can lead to problems, especially where security and privacy is necessary, such as in credit card data and bank transactions. The Secure Socket Layer is used to encrypt the data stream between the web server and the web client (the browser). SSL makes use of what is known as asymmetric cryptography, commonly referred to as public key cryptography (PKI). With public key cryptography, two keys are created, one public, one private. Anything encrypted with either key can only be decrypted with its corresponding key. Thus if a message or data stream were encrypted with the server's private key, it can be decrypted only using its corresponding public key, ensuring that the data only could have ...
