ONE SITE – TWO SERVERS
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY
WHY TWO SERVERS?
Policy• Navy policy only allows us one public-facing web
server and domain.Security• Some Intranet pages contain “security sensitive”
information. (i.e. midshipman brigade movements)
Accessibility• Our intranet server is the gateway to many
applications only viewable “on the Yard”
• Homepage• Contact information• Links to files• Photos of work• Course descriptions• Faculty bios with
pictures• Midshipman Project
Briefs

CONTENT TYPE
My content types (which are shared in a common area) can’t publish to a site-specific destination
So everything gets published everywhere.
Pages that are security sensitive were getting sent to the public server.
EDUCATE ON PUBLISHING
Initial Solution.Have the users uncheck the destinations and configurations when publishing sensitive pages.

Just a reminder for the user
This is the original page
IS_USNA()
Is_USNA() is a PHP subroutine that is included but isn’t integrated (yet) into the Format/Data Definition of our “Standard Template”
PHP code does require #START-CODE and #END-CODE wrappers.
This is considered an “advanced” feature for our users.
