PMDF popstore & MessageStore Manager's Guide

5.1.1 Restricting Access

Users of the popstore/MessageStore must be able to supply the correct name and password for a popstore/MessageStore account. You can impose further restrictions through the use of an HTTP_ACCESS mapping table. For instance, you can deny access to the user interfaces from all external IP addresses. See the description of the HTTP_ACCESS mapping table in the PMDF System Manager's Guide for directions on how to use the HTTP_ACCESS mapping table.

5.1.2 Location of the User Interface

The GIF, HTML, and formatting files which comprise the web-based management interface are located in the /pmdf/www/msps_user/ and /pmdf/www/chng_pwd/ directory trees on UNIX and NT systems, and the PMDF_ROOT:[WWW.MSPS_USER] and PMDF_ROOT:[WWW.CHNG_PWD] directories on OpenVMS systems. Sites wanting to customize the interface or develop their own interface can use these files as a starting point. However, do not make changes to the supplied files themselves: any changes will be lost when you upgrade PMDF. Instead, make copies of the files and access them via the appropriate URL; e.g.,


http://host:7633/msps_user/x-main-page.html 
Details on developing your own formatting files are given in Section 5.2.
