Access Protect URL

A standard HTTP Authentication restriction can be added to your website on a specific URL path.

URL protection rules will apply to all domains on the Stratus instance.

Create a Protection Rule

To create a path specific authorization rule:

1. Go to Access > Protect URL in the Stratus left sidebar menu.
   • Label — Enter a name for the rule.
   • Path — Enter the path to be restricted. If the store uses ".html" suffixes, include the suffix with the path. Entering a path ending in a slash ("/") will restrict all files within the directory.
   • Login — Enter a login username.
   • Password — Enter a password. To create a random password, click Generate Password. Once saved, passwords cannot be later seen; to view a password before saving, click the Eye Icon at the right end of the password field.
2. Click Create New Rule to save your new restriction.
3. Click Update to apply all rules to the Stratus installation.

NOTE: it is important to click Update so Stratus will make the proper configurations to protect the store.
