Information Technology
secure.web migration
What's Changing? The ability to use .htaccess files for
authentication is being removed from most virtual hosts on Maple
Information Technology
Rationale
Enforces SSL on sites that use .htaccess authentication controls
Prevents passwords from passing in the clear
Eliminates certificate mismatch error Users have requested secure space with
Healthcare LDAP access
Information Technology
Impact
Links to protected content will change For example, http://yoursite.emory.edu/private
will now be located at https://secure.web.emory.edu/yoursite/private
Secure directory will appear within your Web root
Paths in your application may change
Information Technology
Migration
Impacted developers will receive list of affected directories
WebComm team will copy content to secure directory/ies on May 21st for testing
Migration must be completed prior to go-live of new Web architecture Protected content will not be migrated from Maple to
new Web architecture Users encouraged to delete protected content in
old Web directory after testing Authentication controls will be restricted to
secure.web area in new Web architecture
Information Technology
What Developers Need to Do
Change any external links to protected content
Check hard-coded paths in applications that access file system in protected content
CGI will not be supported in secure.web architecture at launch
Information Technology
