Please Note: This FAQ entry describes a mechanism to limit access to web pages via the web server. If you also want to prevent access by people with local CS accounts, you MUST take extra steps to prevent access via the local filesystem. Please see the corresponding FAQ entry for more information.

As an example, assume you want to limit access to the pages in a directory to only be accessible from cs.indiana.edu hosts. Simply create a file in the directory named .htaccess that contains the following:

deny from all
allow from .cs.indiana.edu

You can have multiple allow lines, as needed.
