Password protect published Calendar?

It's a couple of click to publish a calendar to .MAC
But is there a way to password protect the published page so only authorised people can view it?
I tried to upload to my own server but cannot accomplish it...

Hi,
Don't know if your still trying to do this or not but I managed it using iWeb 08 and .MAC
The problem with the Apple solution is that you have to give out your .MAC user/password which is far from ideal. If you create a website to hold your calendar(s) using iWeb and give the site a username/password and then publish it to your dotmac account you can then publish your calendars using iCal to a private server (your dotmac account) and users will use the username/password you provided in iWeb NOT your .MAC ones!
To do the publishing bit in iCal simply select Private Server and type in:
http://idisk.mac.com/username/Web/Sites/yoursitename
Make sure you provide your .MAC username and password, this will be used by iCal to access your iDisk but users will use the username/password you provided in iWeb!
Not sure if it works with previous versions of iWeb, you only need iWeb to set up the site and make it password protected.

  • Password Protect Published iCal on MobileMe

    I would like to password protect calendars I publish on MobileMe. Is this possible? If not, it should be.
    Thanks.

    I agree -- even a hash would be better than the plain-text, everyone-can-find-it link that the publish option provides.

  • Publish a web-viewable password-protected calendar?

    Is there any way to publish a web-viewable password-protected calendar?
    There is info here about publishing to your iDisk w/ password protection:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61725
    But I need something that doesn't require iCal to access! For instance something that I could access via a web browser on a public computer, and would have to input a password to access.
    Is this possible, or is this a missing functionality?

    Hi UniAce, apparently in one of the recent versions of iCal you can now publish your ICS file (from iCal 'publish' command) onto a private server that is not WebDav... which was the requirement in the past.
    View your iCalendar on the web
    Here is a link to a program called PHP iCalendar that basically uses your ICS file that you've 'published' via iCal and makes it into a viewable HTML calendar.
    My problem with it
    I don't have .Mac and haven't tried it with that, but even though the program works great after a bit of installation (you should be comfortable with HTML editing to use PHP iCalendar, but not necessarily PHP) I could not get iCal to export my ICS file properly – it appeasr to upload properly in iCal, but then the file is 0 bytes on the server which is, in turn, making PHP iCalendar have a problem viewing it.
    How I got around it
    I ended up finding the 'resource' file that had my calendar and setup an automator action that locates that file, copies it to a location on my hard drive, renames it then 'opens' it with a Transmit droplet, which uploads it where I want it.
    Hope this helps, let me know if it's something that may work for you.

  • Publish Password Protect Calendar for Web-Browsers?

    I read the various help resources in OS 10.4.11 and online and can't seem to figure out if a calendar can be shared with password protection so that anyone using a web browser who knows the password only can access it. From what I've read, Apple says I can post the calendar to a private (presumably password protected) website, but while users can subscribe to it using iCal, they won't be able to read it with a web browser which sort of defeats sharing it privately over multiple OS platforms.
    Anybody know if there's a way to keep my online calendar private, password protected? Thanks in advance!
    Sorry If I am repeating, but I cannot seem to search the discussion forums anymore.

    Thanks for your help -- I'm not an expert by any means -- this is my first website... just wanting to put up a family website to share with friends & people I know.
    OK, the url is http://www.hickorytech.net/~rmgrazi/
    Right now I just have a blank page up that says "test website"
    My .htaccess file is located in /rmgrazi/public_html/ (yes, I put it inside the public folder in order to password protect my whole site).
    By the way I'm using TextEdit in OS X, so when I upload the original file with Fetch, it looks like htaccess.txt -- after it's uploaded (as text, not binary of course) then I simply change the name to .htaccess
    My .htaccess file includes the following:
    AuthUserFile /rmgrazi/.htpasswd
    AuthName Members Area
    AuthType Basic
    Require valid-user
    Then I uploaded the .htpasswd one level up to /rmgrazi/ like it says in .htaccess.
    The text in this file is just one line with my username:password (the password is written in code). I found a website that does this automatically. Then I just cut & paste it in apple+v
    I tried using the Terminal application in OS X panther to see if the server path needs to be longer -- I logged into my ftp.hickorytech.net and entered "pwd" -- that command is supposed to show the server path. /rmgrazi/public_html/ are the only folders I can see. "/" is as far back as it will show.
    In Fetch I can change the permissions for .htaccess and .htpasswd by clicking Get Info -- I tried all different combinations, 644, 711, etc... Maybe my permissions are set wrong?

  • Password Protect a Publisher Document

    Hi,
    Please can anyone let me know whether it is possible to password protect a Publisher 2007 document.
    Many Thanks.

    So far as I know, we couldn't add the password within Publisher itself, but we can save it in a password protected zip folder.

  • How to password protect a site that is NOT published to .mac?

    Hi There,
    I was wondering if anyone has got a workaround for this in iWeb. I would like to password protect a site but am not publishing it to .mac. Is there a piece of code you can stick into the HTML manually to do this?
    Thanks!
    s

    I am answering my own question! A friend tipped me off — your hosting company may offer password protection. That was the case for me. I went into the site settings and was able to set up a password for the entire site or only certain directories. I hope this helps someone!

  • Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

    Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
    "There was an error updating MobileMe"
    "An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
    "Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
    Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
    Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
    It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
    There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
    It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
    What can I do?

    You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
    ...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files. Read more in Chapter 2 here:

    With "many, many sites", this splitting process is not without risk — so before doing anything, don't forget this:

  • Password Protecting a Published Project

    Hello,
    We are using RH7 WebHelp. My department works on RH projects
    for a number of different departments within our company. One
    department (HR) has asked if we can restrict access to their
    materials from the rest of the company once we have published them.
    Their material will obviously have its own URL, but they are
    concerned that others may learn that address and gain access to
    their materials. Is there a way to password protect their project
    or otherwise restrict access to it? Thanks in advance.
    TW

    Hi TW
    You need to speak to your web development team. WebHelp
    output is like any other site. Just a collection of HTML pages. So
    they should be able to configure the Web space so only authorized
    individuals could have access.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Link to other published web folder from within password protected iWeb site

    I realise that you cannot password protect an iWeb site if it contains a link to an external page / file. However, I have a complex genealogy site that I had previously published to another site. I directly copied this folder to the iWeb directory alongside the folder for the protected site published from iWeb. I have tried all sorts of link URLs on the protected site page, trying to link to the genealogy index.html file. iWeb refuses to allow password protection or even point correctly to the site.
    Does anyone know how to create a suitable link to a site folder created elsewhere?

    I have a password protected site with a page that has a link to an ordinary homepage.mac.com page, with no problems. Could you provide more details on what is not working for you? Maybe putting your geneology folder in iDisk/Sites and linking to that would help?

  • Password protected Sharepoint publishing site

    Hello, 
    We have used Sharepoint 2013 to design and publish a large scale website.  I was wondering if there is a way to password protect an individual page or sub site?  The system is linked up to our staff log in authentication system but I can't find
    a way to only allow staff to access a particular page on and external website.
    Has anyone got any suggestions for this?
    Thanks 

    You can set item level permissions on pages. View the pages in the pages library, drop down the action menu on the item and select Manage Permisisons.

  • Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

    I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
    I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

    The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
    Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
    The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

  • Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

    Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?

      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
    told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
    hope the next few updates are less awry.

  • How to password protect mobileme gallery after its been published?

    Is there a way to quickly add password protection to a already published set of pics instead re-uploading and choosing to protect it before the initial upload?

    Yes. Just as you can update a MobileMe gallery with additional photos after initial publishing, you can update the settings including password protection.
    Within Aperture, with the gallery "album" up, select the MobileMe popup menu from the tools at the bottom right of the screen. Within that, select "Settings..." Then edit the "Album viewable by:" section accordingly and re-"Publish." No need to re-upload your photos.
    Some gallery/album settings can be modified via browsing into the MobileMe gallery, but to the best of my knowledge password protection cannot be modified there...

  • SL - subscription to password protected calendars dropped?

    Did anyone else notice that it's no longer possible to subscribe to password protected calendars, e.g. on an FTP server, in Snow Leopard? One can only enter a URL, but no account information. That's really annoying, since I have subscribed to four important family and work calendars this way which are no longer updated...
    Or do I miss something? Are there any workarounds? What other free solutions should I try to share family member calendars? Your help is greatly appreciated!

  • Is there a way to password protect a photo page in iWeb?

    My website is open to whoever wants to look at it but I do photography work for clients and would like to password protect their photos. Is there anyway I can password protect just my photo gallery page in iWeb? Thanks!

    If you publish to a server other than MobileMe you can password protect any directory - either by using Webshell or via the .htaccess. If you use the latter method, the data can be compiled using a generator....
    http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
    MobileMe users need to create a new site for the protected content. This site can appear to be part of the main one if it is included in a text based navigation as an external hyperlink or by using a snippet code with the default navigation. This was answered by Cyclosaurus in this topic....
