Access Control List

HSYCO supports server-side access control lists for Web-based user commands.

The acl.ini file is a text file that defines the rules to allow or reject commands.

 Changes to acl.ini are immediately effective.

Each line defines an access rule, with the following format:

action; user_id; location; type; command

Rules are evaluated starting from the first line and progressing down the file until a match is found on the user, the IP address of the Web browser, the command type and command.

On the rule that matches, the “allow” or “deny” action is taken, executing or rejecting the command.

You can user the “*” character in the user_id, service and command fields, to match any value or values starting or ending with a specific string.

The following table describes each field of a rule line.

Field	Format	Description
action	allow | deny	when this rule matches, the command is either executed or rejected
user_id	string [, string] * matches any user	one or more user names (comma separated)
location	local | remote | *	clients with an IP address that is part of the trusted range are “local”; clients outside the trusted range are “remote”
type	io | timer | camera | * * matches any service	command type
command	string * matches any string or substring	matching command string. “io” commands have the <datapoint>=<value> format for I/O Servers, dmx.<channel>=<value> for DMX, <IRTrans_id>=<command> for IRTrans commands, and <name>=<param> for user commands. “camera” type commands are formatted as <camera_name>=<function>.<action> for PTZ, or<camera_name>=<mail | download> when sending a frame via e-mail or downloading a recorded video. “timer” commands are formatted as <timer_name>=<action>
