creating a realm for webmail (on 10.4.2)

[bluepolo]

Hi All

I have got the previous topics on doing Self-Certs going, and have got webmail going by https. Cool.

But I want to prevent people just finding the webmail login page (and the default OSX web page) because this server is used for mail/webmail ONLY.

Is there a way I can use Realms feature for webmail?

TIA

BP

OK I found the answer:

create a new realm and use the following location:

/usr/share/squirrelmail/src

[QUOTE BY= macshome] If you are trying to password protect the whole site, I would just make a realm at the root of the site.[/QUOTE]
In my case its only some of the services on the site that I want a realm to, an admin-area and webmail.

Would’nt it be more correct to make the realm for /usr/share/squirrelmail
Otherwise one could read a lot of (probably harmless) files:

server:/usr/share/squirrelmail admin$ ls -l /usr/share/squirrelmail/
