Allow directory access for certain IP's at Lighttpd

I need to rewrite this rules (from apache's .htaccess):

<files "*.*">
Allow from 84.47.125.0/19 66.211.160.0/19 216.113.160.0/19
Deny from All
</files>

To lighttpd ones, to allow the access to my /pswd directory only for those IP's: 

84.47.125.0/19, 66.211.160.0/19, 216.113.160.0/19

How can I do that in lighttpd?

Solution

  • I've never used lighttpd but I've found this on Google: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-restrict-or-deny-access-by-ip-address.html

    It has an example for blocking access for 2 IPs and for blocking a single IP. It should be easily adaptable for you by doing this:

    # vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

    and then:

    $HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "84.47.125.0/19|66.211.160.0/19|216.113.160.0/19" {
    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/pswd/" {
      url.access-deny = ( "" )
    }
 }
