Access
Restriction
Support for password protection
(access restriction) is standard on all Xenoplanet accounts.
Password protection allows you to specify a list of usernames and passwords
which must be supplied in order to access to certain sections of your
site. For example, you might password protect the /clients
directory, making it accessible only to important clients, etc.
There are two methods which can be used to configure password protection;
choose the method which best suits your needs:
Using Webby
Using Webby, Xenoplanet's online file editor and site manager, click
on the "lock" icon near the top of your screen. Consult the Webby documentation for details.
Note: Microsoft FrontPage users should NOT use this method.
Using Microsoft FrontPage
To password-protect a directory using Microsoft
FrontPage, follow these steps:
TIP: You
must turn your directory into a "Web" before you can password protect
it. To do so, simply right-click on the directory from within FrontPage
Explorer, and click "Convert to Web".
- Open FrontPage Explorer
- From the File menu, select "Open
FrontPage Web"
- Select the Web you wish to password
protect. Note that restricting the <Root Web> will have the
effect of restricting the entire site.
- From the Tools menu, select "Permissions"
- Select "Only registered users have browse
access"
- Add users by pressing the "Add..." button.
- Hit "Apply" once you are done adding
users.
