- Access control: authentication and authorisation
- Access to WWW documents can be restricted to certain computers/domains or by requesting an identifier. By using the Web Trust Center, a reader only needs to authenticate once.
- Displaying directory lists
- As an author, you can control how an URL pointing to a directory should be handled. You can determine how a directory list should look (icons, title and footer text, size, modification time and short description) or whether only a specific file should be displayed.
