Example of Script Protection

Scripts can be protected just like any other document on your server. Just think of the Exec rule as a Pass rule with a bit more semantics. That is, the protection must be defined before the Exec rule, but it can be based on either IP-address or User Access Control. The following example is based on the latter form of protection:

Define a Protection setup:

	Protection	SCRIPTS	{
	   UserID	secret
	   GroupID	www
	   AuthType	Basic
	   ServerID	ProxyServer
	   PassWdfile	/home/www/secret/passwd
	   GroupFile    /home/www/secret/group
	}

Define the Protect template:
```
	Protect		/htbin/*	SCRIPTS
```

Make the Exec rule

	Exec		/htbin/*	/where/your/scripts/are/*
