Webpage

All employees can have their own web page in the www.cs.ru.nl domain. However, this is not implemented by default. The scientific programmers can do this for you.

If it has been set up, you can reach it via the web like this:

• www.cs.ru.nl/personal/<login> or www.cs.ru.nl/~<login>
• www.cs.ru.nl/<longname> (e.g. H.Kuppens, P.deVrieze etc.)

And you can maintain it like this:

• linux (lilo1.science.ru.nl or lilo2.science.ru.nl) : 

       file access : /www/cs/live/htdocs/personal/<login>

• windows : 

       smb access : \\www.cs.ru.nl\wwwcs\live\htdocs\personal\<login>

Note : the webserver machine is wielewaal.cs.ru.nl.

User Authorization on cncz webservers

On cncz webservers only the mod_auth_basic module is installed in the apache webserver. The module mod_auth_digest is not installed.

So we cannot use digest authorization but must use basic authorization on cncz webservers.

How to use basic auth  :

 $ ssh lilo1.science.ru.nl

 $ cd /www/cs/live/htdocs/personal/<username>/secure/

 # make .htpasswd file containing user accounts with md5 encrypted passwords
 # note: if htpasswd command is not installed one can also use
 #       the website : http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/
 $ htpasswd -c .htpasswd <username>
 New password: xxxxxxxx
 Re-type new password: xxxxxxxx

 # make .htaccess file with the following content
 $ cat .htaccess
 AuthName "mysite"
 AuthType Basic
 AuthUserFile "/var/www2/cs/live/htdocs/personal/<username>/secure/.htpasswd"
 require user <username>

Note that the webserver directory is differently mounted on different servers :

- fileserver lilo1.cs.ru.nl : /www/cs/
- current webserver : wielewaal-cs.ru.nl : /var/www2/cs/  
- old deprecated webserver wees.science.ru.nl : /vol/www/cs/ (deprecated at juli 2012)
