If you click Revert, the server removes any changes you made to the rules
from the time you first opened the two-frame window
WARNING: Be cautious when using Revert because you cannot restore your
edits. In most cases, it is probably better to delete the rule lines individually.

Table 17 Example List of Resources That Are Typically Given Limited Access Control
The following sections describe the options that appear in the bottom frame of
the access control window.
Resource Wildcard What It Means
default A named ACL created during
installation that restricts write access,
so only users in the local database or
LDAP directory can publish
documents, for example, by using the
Web Publisher.
Entire Server One set of rules determines the
access to your entire Web site,
including any virtual servers you have
running. To restrict access to a virtual
server, specify the path of its
document root.
*.html Controls access to all files with an
.HTML extension.
*.cgi Controls access to all files with a
.CGI extension.
usr/ns-home/cgi-bin/* Controls access to all files and
directories in the CGI-BIN directory.
Note that the path is absolute. On NT,
the path must include the drive letter.
agents A named ACL that restricts access to
all agents. The Web server contains
this ACL by default.
uri=“/sales” Controls access to the SALES
directory in the document root. To
specify URIs, create a named ACL.
