Password
Protection
You
have the ability to password protect directories using your Control
Panel so that only users with proper logins have access to those directories.
To do so, log into your Control Panel and click on the box below and
follow the instructions.
(see below first
if you are using MS FrontPage)
To
remove password protection: go
to the link above, load the the directory you want to work with.
A list of users should come up. If there are no users listed
then your directory is not password protected. Click on the
user that you want to remove password protection for. If you
want to get rid of password protection all together than clear all
the users as in the process above.
FrontPage
Enabled Sites, READ FIRST:
If
you use FrontPage and have
installed FrontPage
extensions,
you should follow the directions below. Do not use the Control
Panel Option above, as this will cause FrontPage to function incorrectly.
-
Open
the Front Page Web on
the server. This
allows you to work with your page directly on the Server instead
of off your hard drive. Then the security option under tools will
no longer be grayed out and you can then select it and proceed
with the the directions below:
-
If
you want to restrict access to directories, you have to turn the
subdirectories into SubWebs and
use FrontPage's access restrictions. Here's how:
a.
Create the subweb by doing File --> New -->FrontPage Web
.
b. Select "Import an existing web".
c. Choose a title for your web. Since you can only restrict access
to a web that's on the server, be sure you change the path so
that it is going to the Internet location. Click ok.
d. It will start the process to make the new web.
e. The Import Web Wizard will come up. Select "From a World Wide
Web site". In the location box, put in the path to the specific
directory, for example, http://domain.com/members . This will
get only that directory, and not the whole web. Click next.
f. This is where you limit the amount of information you will
receive. Unless you know your pages are more extensive than these
defaults, just leave it at the default and click next.
g. Click finish and wait a few minutes as the content copies over.
3.
At this point,
you have all your information in a new web. Now you can set up the
restrictions.
1.
In the FrontPage Explorer, click on Tools --> Permissions...
2. Select "use unique permissions for this web". Click apply at
this time.
3. Click on the users tab.
4. Select "only registered users have browse access".
5. Add any users you need, and then click ok.
