[Geomoose-users] Internet/Proxy?

[Brent Fraser]

Jay,

You need to:

1. Physically secure the computer(s)
     - so not just anyone can walk up to it and stick in a disk

2. Enable basic operating system and network security
     - e.g., so strangers can't browse your files, etc
     - you'll need to do some reading (or hire a consultant)

3. Enable web application security to allow selected users to access your apps
     - several ways to do that.
     - one popular way is to use server-side scripting (e.g. PHP
       with SESSION variables to make sure those accessing a web page
       are "logged in" (e.g have entered a valid username and password)

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
