Protecting
Secure Content
The Web Resources program offers two options for protecting secure content.
- Restricted access by IP address. Users on computers outside UCSF
will not see these pages. Users within UCSF (including those at remote
locations or those using a UCSF VPN client)
will see this content. This content actually lives in
a separate site, the School of Medicine intranet.
- Restricted access through a password. Applications with protected
data use a password mechanism to control access.
All links to protected content--whether protected
by password OR content on the intranet--should have an indication that
the content is protected.
Using DreamWeaver, copy and paste the secure lock image ( )
from the libraries located in the templates folder. For an explanation
on using this and other preformatted elements please see the tutorial
entitled Using
Preformatted Library Items and CSS.
For an example of the use of the lock icon, please see the For
Staff and Faculty page.
