Webmasters: Are you looking for an easy way to limit access to your Web site? Are you tired of keeping yet another list of names and passwords for access to your restricted Web pages? Would you like your off-campus users to be able to access a Web site that you would prefer to restrict to the ucdavis.edu domain? Are you interested in limiting access to a Web site by class membership? You can do all these things and more using the Distributed Authentication Service. This service is useful to Webmasters who want to control or limit access to their Web sites (or other internet-based services).

How do I learn more about controlling access to my Web site?
Doreen Meyer from IT's Distributed Computing Analysis and Support (DCAS) and Faust Gorham from the Center for Advanced Information Technology (CAIT) have planned three presentations. In addition, you can make an appointment with the CAIT staff and view the CAIT's demonstration system, a PC running Netscape, IIS, Cold Fusion, the Distributed Authentication Service, and Windows NT. You can visit the Distributed Authentication Web page at http://dcas.ucdavis.edu/access/distauth/.
