2.2.3 ContentProtection
Content Protection allows you to restrict access to content
ontheCDNusingavarietyofmethods.
Bydefault,permissionsforcontentontheCDNareinherited
from the parent Folder. This means that if you apply a
protection policy to any of the root Folders (CDS, FMS, or
WMS) it will apply automatically to all objects in any
subfolders. If you want to specify a custom policy for a
subfolder, simply uncheck the Inherit from Parent
checkboxanddefinethepoliciesthatyouwanttouse.
HTTPReferrerRestriction
ThispolicyonlyallowsaccesstothecontentiftheHTTPReferrer(i.e.theserverorweb

expires,theCDNremovesit,freeingupthestorageallocation.OriginPullisdisabledbydefault.
Toenableit,clickthecheckboxlabeledEnableOriginPull.Thereareanumberofproperties
thatcanbeconfiguredforOriginPull,describedindetailbelow.
PrimaryHost
The user can specify an Origin Pull hostname, which is simply a server address or IP
addresstotheOriginServerhostingthecontent.
PrimaryUsername/Password
Some Origin Servers will be configured to require HTTP challenge/response
authentication in order to be accessed. The credentials for the Primary Host can be
specifiedinthesefields.
SecondaryHost/Username/Password
A secondary host may be provided. This host will be used by the CDN as the Origin
ServerintheeventthatthePrimaryHostisunavailable.Thesesettingsareidenticalto
the Primary Hosts settings, with the exception that they configure the values for the
SecondaryHostinstead.
ExpirationPolicy
There are several policies available to determine when the CDN should consider the
contentpulledfromtheOriginServerstale.
o Never:Thecontentneverexpires.OncethefilehasbeenpulledfromtheOrigin
Server,theCDNwillholdontoitindefinitely.
o CacheControl:TheCDNwillrespecttheHTTPcachecontrolheadersforthefile.
The content will expire according to the settings present in the cache control
headerspresentwhenthefileisinitiallypulledfromtheOriginServer.
o LastModify:Thelastmodifieddateofthefilewillbeexaminedtodetermineif
the content is stale. When this setting is used, the user must specify a time
periodafterwhichthecontentshouldexpire.
Example:thelastmodifieddateonafileissettoJanuary1st,2008.Theuserhas
specifiedanExpirationTimeof10days.TheCDNwillconsiderthecontentstale
onJanuary11th,2008andwillrequestafreshcopyatsometimeduringthatday.
o Ingest:Thetimeofingestwillbeexaminedtodetermineifthecontentisstale.
When this setting is used, the user must specify a time period after which the
contentshouldexpire.
RefreshPolicy
TheRefreshPolicydetermineshowoftentheCDNwillcheckforfreshcontentoncethe
cachedcopyofthecontenthasexpired.IfnoRefreshIntervalisspecified,theCDNwill
checkthecopyofthecontentontheOriginServerforupdatesatatimedeterminedby
theCDN(baseduponfactorssuchassystemload).
o Refresh Interval: The Refresh Interval determines how soon the CDN should
checkforfreshcontentafterthecontentexpires.
o Refresh Offset: The Refresh Offset tells the CDN to offset the period of time
specifiedintheRefreshIntervalbyacertainamount.Inthisway,itcomplements
the Refresh Interval by allowing additional variation to be introduced to the
scheduleusedbytheCDNtocheckforfreshcontent.
For example, if a Refresh Offset of 4 Hours is specified, the CDN will check for fresh
content 4 hours after the Refresh Interval time expires. When the Refresh Interval
expiresonceagain,theCDNwillwait4hoursbeforecheckingforfreshcontent.Thus,
specifyingaRefreshOffsetintroducesarollingoffsettotheRefreshIntervaltime.
2.2.5 VirtualHosting
ByusingVirtualHosting,ausercanspecifyaURLthatdeep
links in to the CDN file system to access content. This
technique can be used to create vanity domains, or to
provideapathtocontentthatisshorterthantherealpath
thatexistsontheCDN.
NOTE:InorderforVirtualHostingtoworkcorrectly,theuser
must configure a CNAME entry in the DNS record for the
domainusedastheVirtualHost.
