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:
- 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.
- Click Create New Rule to save your new restriction.
- 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.
