Protect Web Page

[John Glueck]

How can I protect a web page with a user/password on a
Unix web server? I have found some good applications
using ASP, but this NOT supported in Unix. I am using
FP2003.

The easiest way is to put it into a sub-web with unique permissions. You can
then add any password-protected pages to that sub-web. Otherwise, you may
have to go with a database back-end using PHP or some other server-side
programming technology.

And what web-server? While Perlmongers claim you can do anything with
Perl, it still has to live within the webserver. I like the idea of putting
it in a sub-directory and then using Php/Perl to allow userid/password
protection. The problem is, unless the sub-directory is file-access
protected, and/or you somehow don't allow the file-path to be seen anyplace,
your going to have problems.... Might try www.hotscripts.com for some code
ideas.

It's done with a .htaccess file in the protected folder and .htpasswd file above the root of the web
or in the _vti_bin folder.
