Hello,
I would like to have a webpage that requires a password before it can be
viewed. How is this done?

Thanks.

There are several different ways. Some of them may break FP extensions (if
loaded).


The host may have a tool in the web's control panel

On Unix servers, use .htaccess files

Use ASP, Perl/CGI, PHP etc., possibly in conjunction with a database
containing UserIds and Passwords

Ask the host to set up a protected folder

"Security" by hiding: JavaScript gateway scripts. (not recommended, but
may be the only method available)

Or just use a database with a list of accepted passwords and a way of
accepting input from the user, a way of matching against the database, and a
way of redirecting the user based on the success or failure of that match.
It's not so hard to completely bypass FP extensions for this.

In addition, if security is not your primary concern (in other words if you
can tolerate some visibility) you can use some much simpler methods to
'password protect' a page (a group of pages would be more difficult).

Murray, you wrote: "In addition, if security is not your primary concern (in

so, what's the much simpler way to 'password protect' a page that you
alluded to?
