Cliff, what exactly are you afraid they will do? Perhaps you have more
than one map, or more than one copy of the map up, and web client users
are being presented with a list of them to choose from, and one or more
is listed as being r/w? And you are concerned that if they pick a r/w one
that they will have r/w access to the map? If that is what you are
thinking,
then rest assured that that is not what it means. It only means that they
will be looking at a map that someone else has up r/w. Which is a good
thing, since they will see topology changes dynamically, and changes
in membership of Smartset dynamically.

The only write-type function they have is Acknowledge. And of couse
they have to authenticate to get in. There is debate about the wisdom
of allowing everyone to Acknowledge, but at this point we cannot
stop them.

Cordially,

Subject:  [NV-L] Web Client required to be Read Only



Dear Group,

I have implemented the Web Client a while ago on Netview 6 (both NT and
Unix), but inorder to roll it out proberly I would like it to only be
availalbe Read Only, as I don't trust the people that I am rolling it out
to.

Is there any way of limiting access of the web client to prevent anyone
making changes.
