One way is through .htaccess protection. The <a class=\"nonexistent\" href=\"\/engit\/WebLogin-moin-NisGroup\">NisGroup<\/a> at <a class=\"nonexistent\" href=\"\/engit\/WebLogin-moin-OIT\">OIT<\/a> provides documentation about this <a class=\"http\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/webcentral\/learning\/restrict\/protect.html\">here<\/a>, but we&#8217;d like to add a few configuration directives by way of a sample .htaccess file: <\/p>\n<p >File .htaccess: <\/p>\n<p >\n<pre class=\"darkSnippet\"> AuthType weblogin<br\/> WebloginKTTL  900<br\/> WebloginOption reason \"Reason -- such as to protect your personal information\"<br\/> WebloginOption app \"Name of Application; see above image\"<br\/> WebloginOption contact \"&lt;a href=\\\"mailto:someperson@somedomain.edu\\\"&gt;Contact Someone&lt;\/a&gt; or call 617-123-0000\"<br\/> WebloginOption description \"Text describing your application.\"<br\/> &lt;Limit GET POST&gt;<br\/> require valid-user<br\/> &lt;\/Limit&gt;<\/pre>\n<p >The  WebloginKTTL is the lifetime of the authentication, in seconds. In the  above example, 900 is 15 minutes. You can use this to require  re-authentication every <em>x<\/em> seconds, depending on the security you wish to provide. <\/p>\n<p ><img alt=\"securid.jpg\" class=\"attachment\" src=\"\/engit\/files\/2019\/08\/securid.jpg\" title=\"securid.jpg\"\/> <\/p>\n<p >If you wish to require use of the <strong>SecurID<\/strong> token, you should add another line: <\/p>\n<p >\n<pre class=\"darkSnippet\"> WebloginOTTL 0<\/pre>\n<p >This  will create another box in the WebLogin window that requires the  SecurID to be used, creating a more secure authentication. <\/p>\n<p >Sometimes, WebLogin is reached through means other than .htaccess. For example, through the<a href=\"\/engit\/knowledge-base\/linux\/xmlgateway\">XMLGateway<\/a>.  If this is the case, you may not be able to control the variables above  without contacting the staff that maintain the code that is responsible  for calling WebLogin. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page deals with setting up a server to use WebLogin.
