Hi:

I need to create a page in my website that is password-protected and I have no idea where to begin. I'm using FP2003.

Thanks!

SSL - Secure Socket Layer - is for a secure server certificate. If you are
interested in having SSL on your web site for encryption, you need to
contact your host to see what they offer or what they require.

But, Plain old passwor protection:

I don't think you need SSL unless you're doing ecommerce and taking credit card
or other sensitive details through the website.

Basic password protection can be achieved with htaccess on Unix/Linux servers but
otherwise you might need a javascript or perl script password protection program.

Look on google for "htaccess" first but otherwise try www.hotscripts.com or
http://cgi.resourceindex.com for starters.

Most scripts are easy to set up but you might need to know a bit about Unix file
permissions (assuming you're hosted on Unix/Linux).
