select page on my website? And how is this information captured?

About restricting access to a Web site
Show All

Important To restrict access to a Web site, the following must be
true:

a.. You must have access permissions to create a subsite (subsite: A
named subdirectory of a Web site that is also a complete site. A subsite can
have unique administration, authoring, and browsing permissions.) in a Web
site.
b.. Your Web site must be hosted on a server running FrontPage
Server Extensions (FrontPage Server Extensions: A set of programs and
scripts that support authoring in FrontPage and extend the functionality of
a Web server.) from Microsoft, SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, or
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. If the Server option appears dimmed
and is unavailable from the Tools menu, it is likely that your site is not
on a server running one of these technologies or products.
Contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)
(ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as
electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are
multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited
to a specific region.) to find out about your access permissions and your
server.

If you have the right permissions and your server has the right
technology or product, you can control who accesses your Web site and what
level of access permissions each user has. For example, you can allow
specific users to have read-only permission on your Web site. Or, you may
want certain users to be able to add content to existing document libraries
and lists, and other users to customize pages in the Web site. You can even
allow one or more users full control (administrator permissions) of your Web
site.

Brief overview of how you restrict access
You must configure the site or subsite to use unique permissions and
then, by using site groups or roles, you specify which users can browse, add
content to, or administer your Web site.

By default, all subsites inherit the same permission settings as their
parent Web sites. However, you can set unique permissions for subsites.

Using FrontPage 2003, you can also restrict access to a root Web site;
however, you cannot restrict access to separate pages, sections, or folders
in a Web site.

In otherwords you want content for registered users?

you might try www.lockarea.com which has scripts that can be used to
register users, and 'lock' folders to those without a password; but let
those that do in to see the content you provide.

Or if you're on Unix server, use the htaccess and htpasswd files. (Google
both of these for help - note a full stop (.) precedes the filename i.e.
(.htaccess/.htpasswd)

That way, you manually set up usernames and email them the password or
something, and first set up a form to collect their registration info using
the Frontpage form handler if you're server's set up for that - just have it
email the submissions to you, or write them to a csv or mdb database -
whatever.

the htaccess/htpasswd won't work with Windows, there are other methods to
password protect folders.

example here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~admurray/signup.shtml (don't
worry about creating a username!). but you can see a link to the provider
of this particular script that I use).
