You can control who gets to see a portion of a web site by using OS X Server's WebDAV feature. An access-controlled portion of a website is termed a realm.
How to make a new WebDAV realm in Mac OS 10.3 Server
- Make certain the files you want to be access-controlled within the website have the appropriate permissions.
- Launch Server Admin.
- Select the appropriate server.
- Select Web.
- Click sites. Select the appropriate site and edit it (by double-clicking on it or single-click and then clicking the pencil (edit site) button below the sites list).
- Click "Realms".
- To make a new realm (portion of a website accessible only to users with accounts on the server), click the plus button located below the list of realms. Type in a name for the realm. Leave the authorization set to "basic". Type the path to the section of the web site you wish to be access-controlled, or else click the ellipses button to navigate to that folder. Click "OK" when you are done.
- To configure who can access the access-controlled portion of the web site, click the "Users & Groups" button on the lower-right of the Server Admin window. Click and drag users and groups from the list to the Users and Groups panes of the Realms tab of the Server Admin window.
