Prevent Doclinks folder from listing

If you're using WebSphere as the application server for your Maximo 6, after configuring Doclinks in Maximo you may notice that you can access the listing of your Doclinks folder if you fetch just the URL of the server. This happens when using Apache (IBM HTTP Server) as web server.

This directory listing is part of Apache standard functionality and you can prevent it by using the IndexIgnore directive in the httpd.conf configuration file.

To block all listings use the following statement:
IndexIgnore *
This way you tell Apache not to list any folders.

For more information on this directive refer to the Apache documentation available in the apache web site
.
