Web Utilities: Aurora Project Administration System (APAS) Toolkit


Go directly to the APAS TOOLKIT

The APAS utilities are a suite of tools that web maintainers at Case can use to manage their sites. The Office of Creative Services does not maintain or support the site. It is managed by ITS. However, since it is full of some very useful tools, we encourage its use and link to it from our page.

Here are a few tips for using the tool kit.

  1. The login and password will be the login and password for your site. In other words the name of your account on aurora. This is the same login and password that you need to FTP into your department's or school's site.  

  2. Once you login, you'll find an assortment of tools, including
    • Web-stats generator, which can give you stats by directory level or for the entire site.
    • Index page generator, a handy utility that will create a page in HTML with links to all the files in a particular directory. It's useful to me for site maintenance. Once the page is created it'll have links to every file sorted by extension... .gif .jpg .htm .html, etc. Warming: Be careful; it'll write over your homepage if it's named index! To prevent this, just pick another name like indexreport.htm or some other file name that does not exist in your site.
    • Password Protection.  You can password protect a directory... or just one file. Read the directions; it works well.
