Password protected iWeb sites - problem with login

This is an FYI regarding a problem I recently encountered. Neither MobileMe, nor Apple tech support or specialists were able to resolve it, but I finally figured it out.
I created a company website for my client, including secondary websites that were password protected in order for her clients to download support materials for her classes. The passwords worked fine last night, but this morning we could not login with the setup passwords. Even when we changed them and tried to re-upload the entire site, we could not. I don't know specifically what changed, but we went through a plethora of solutions over many hours, but to no avail.
In the end, it appears that how we setup the domain was where the problem existed. We have our own domain through Netfirms, which we set up to use in MobileMe as per the instructions. In Netfirms however, when you log into version 8, it does not give you the option to change the CNAME, as MobileMe states needs to be done. Instead I had set up the domain to forward to our "web.me.com/company" site. This was the problem.
To correct this, I turned off the url forwarding and logged out of Netfirms. Then logged back in, but into version 6 of the control panel. From here I was able to setup the CNAME as web.me.com. And ta-da, once it updated on the server the entire site and all password protected areas are working as needed.
Phew.

To password protect a site, folder or page when using a server other than MobileMe you need to either enable this in your control panel or do it using a .htaccess file.
The server side script is the most secure way to do it. There are javascripts that you can use but they are less secure.....

Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....

  • Password protected iWeb sites

    Hi.
    I want to know how to make websites password protected on iWeb. However, I do not have, nor want to invest in MobileMe, so is there any FREE service that does this. Thank you!

  • With Safari, No search results in password protected iWeb site on MobileMe

    Hi,
    I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
    I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
    But when the site is password protected and I'm accessing the site with Safari the search with the search field in the site does not produce any results.
    Only the message:
    "Your search did not produce any results."
    If I use FireFox everything works fine and the search provides the expected results.
    Looks like there is a bug in Safari.
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    ok, is working, now.

  • 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 iweb site hosted on godaddy

    Hi,
    I am using iweb 08, and i host with godaddy.
    Is there any way of making the password function from iweb work with godaddy?
    so far i can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave:
    That's one of the features of iWeb that are not supported by non Mac servers:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Blog RSS Subscription
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ Enhanced slideshows
    There are methods using php I believe but, again, have no experience with them. One of these sites may be what you're looking for.

  • Multipul iweb sites   problem with own domain name

    hello all
    i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
    the problem comes in this.
    if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
    is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
    both are on my mobile me account
    thanks for any help in advance
    Gareth

    If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
    If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
    When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
    When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
    You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
    After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

  • Windows XP User Can't Log in to Password Protected iWeb Site

    Does anyone have advice for this problem? I have consistently been able to access my .Mac account from all PC browsers I can think of from my work computer (MSN, IE, Opera, Firefox). My mother-in-law uses a PC as well and she's had no trouble logging in. My wife uses a Dell at work and she's never had an issue.
    An Aunt, however, cannot seem to get past the Username and Password identification screen when she tries to log in on a Windows XP system in Internet Explorer. Everytime she enters the correct User and Pass (and also in the right case, I checked), the pop-up just reloads. My understanding is that she has tried to do it multiple times in a row and still nothing.
    Any takers? I am stumped. My best guess is something in the IE options for internet security is checked or unchecked. She is at a work that will not allow her to download and run other browsers, so it has to be IE.
    If anyone knows the solution to this, I would be pretty grateful.
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem here with a friend, that cannot access to the site and it works on my Windows XP-PC with IE 7 and Firefox 2. Really strange.

  • Choosing between external and partner application and problem with login

    We have an application on Oracle App Server 10.1.3.3 and we have an OID server.
    I had taken this for granted that I should define the application as 'Partner Application' and not external application for single sign on.
    Now that we need the 'PASSWORD' retrieved by application, we are considering defining it as an external application.
    There are at least two problems I have encountered defining the application as external:
    1. 'pageConfig:serverDate' is among the login form's inputs in the login page, but I can't set it in orasso 'Edit External Applications' page
    2. After login using SSO as external application and when I click on the application's new link, the login page is shown with the username and password field filled, but I have to click on login button anyway (no automatic and invisible login).
    I will be very grateful if someone gives a general view on the differences between external and partner, whether in this case external has to be used or partner and finally give some comment on my specific problem with login button and manual login.
    Thank you

    Just some information :
    - The problem with LOGIN page exists. I don't have that problem with for example GMAIL when defined as external application, but with my applications in Oracle Application Server.
    - There is also another thing I don't understand. The link to external application is something like:
    javascript:open_jwindow('../ealogin?ID=76D4766','76');
    and couldn't be executed outside pls/orasso
    in other words we can't give that to our users, can we? They should login to orassso and see that?
    We don't want to involve them in Identity Management...
    Any help is appreciated....
    Regards

  • 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!

    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!

  • Saving PDF files in a password protected FTP site

    Hi Experts,
    I have an Adobe Form which I want to save in a Password protected FTP site.
    I have written the following code in the submit button
    TYPE = HTTP Submit
    URL = ftp://username:password@host/
    But once the submit is clicked, I can see ONLY the display of the files in this FTP Server.
    My requirement is, I want this PDF file saved in the FTP server.
    How do I achieve this??
    Thanks
    KR

    If you are using the Adobe Reader plug-ins in Safari, then the only functional way to save the PDF locally (without damage) is to use the save functionality that Adobe (not Safari Save As…, Export, or Print > PDF) provides. These examples were captured on OS X 10.9.5. Safari 7.1.2. Adobe Reader 11.0.10.
    Your first link will offer a roll over Adobe toolbar near the bottom-center of your displayed PDF document. Use the Save icon on the far left.
    The second link produces the Adobe sub-toolbar with the Save icon.

  • Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

    Hi,
    I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
    Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.

    I  Reformatted the CF card  on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
    Interesting point about  the low power  of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves  when the mac pro  was idle or slept  Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives  needed  me  to change the sleep setting  or the Mac Pro   to never and  i also  had to deploy a  script to write to each device  ever minute,   this  kind  of sold the problem  with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering  power  to a CF card   can eject  it  in a manor  which would make the  computer  think it is corrupt.
    I have looked at  buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two  of the ports are powered. 
    Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially  as everything has to be connected externally  
    Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.
