Re: access control for LAS?

[Steve Cousins <cousins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have done this by using multiple installations of LAS.  This requires
that there be multiple sections in the httpd.conf file for the Aliases and
the Directory tag but it really isn't that bad.  In the restricted areas
we use the .htaccess file to password protect that directory.

There may be a more elegant solution but this has worked fairly well for
us.
