How Web User Management works

When a user logs in, the username and the password are encrypted and stored in the

browser. Whenever a URL is requested, the User Manager will perform the following tasks:

Task 1: Check the URL in the Access Limit List

The Web server first scans for the full URL, and then it looks for the subdirectories, until

reaching the root directory “/.” (In the URL http://CAS/goform/cfg/IPTablesRulesHandle, the

access limits will be scanned in the following order: /goform/cfg/IPTablesRulesHandle, /

goform/cfg, /goform and /.) When the URL matches an Access Limit, the following informa-

tion will be available:

Accessibility When configured as FULL ACCESS, the URL can be accessed without any

authentication; otherwise, the user can authenticate with BASIC, DIGEST

or COOKIE authentication. The last type is recommended, because it

allows the user to log out in the end of the session. The page will not be

accessible when the accessibility is configured as NO ACCESS.

Security When set to be secure, the page will be accessed only through HTTPS,

which will encrypt the pages through OpenSSL. If the browser is in

unsecure mode, the protocol and the port will change to HTTPS.

Privilege This is the level of accessibility of the page. If the privilege is USER, any

user will be able to access the page. If the privilege is FULL, only users

with full access will be able to access the page. There are two levels

between them: MONITOR and ADMINISTRATOR.
