Password protected part of site for streaming?

Hello,
I would like to make a part of my site password protected so people can look at my flash videos streaming.
I have dreamweaver MX and macromedia contribute 3. I also have adobe flash CS4. Which one should I use?
Would these be the same programs to set up the streaming?
Thanks,
Kidd in paris

If you are only using a very limited number of different passwords, you can password protect a folder by using an htaccess file. For more info:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html
Or Google "htaccess file" for more info.
If there are lots of passwords or the user is generating their own passwords, you'll more likely need to use a server side solution. If a database of passwords is needed, MySQL, using PHP to interface with the Web page. For more info:
http://www.totallyphp.co.uk/scripts/password_protect_a_page.htm
Lots more info on the net. Google "PHP password protect"
Neither of the programs you mentioned will do this automagically. But any good html editor, even NotePad++ can be used to set up the scripts.
"set up the streaming"... what do you mean by that? Are you talking true, live video streaming? or just playing back video files using progressive download?
If true streaming... do you really know what that involves? Here is a good source for streaming info, even if you do not use their service, there is a lot of good info on the site.... just dig around. It will help give you a much better understanding of streaming video:

Password protecting part of a PDF

Hi
Is it possible to password protect part of a PDF, namely two radio buttons so that only those who have the authority can indicate a pass or fail on a form submission. Also if the form is emailed to the Assessor as an attachment is this restricted to 500 times (the form would be sent to the assessor for checking then marked and emailed as an attachment back to the submitter)?
Very many thanks for any help.

Hi George
Many thanks for your helpful answer. The form doesn't need to be very secure, so if you feel able to point me to the script, I would be very grateful.
Regarding distribution, the job is for a student assignments. The form consists of a series of questions with spaces for students to type in their answers. The completed form is then saved and emailed to the assessor to mark as pass or fail then returned to the student. So it's the two radio buttons I want to protect so only the assessor can select them.
I don't know how many copies of the assignment forms might be distributed - anything from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand, if the project took off. The assignments would only be used as attachments.
Regards and thanks,
Derek

How to password protect a second site within my main website?

I have an iWeb website. I would like to be able to password protect a second site within my main site. That second site has many pages.
I am looking for a password application that looks more interesting than the usual. Something more than a box with a place for others to type in their password.
Can you suggest a product that will do that? Thank you.

I am using Numbers 08
And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
The basic procedure is to:
Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

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.

Is there any way to password protect my entire site?

I am looking to create an agent resource site for my company and want to make the entire site password protected. Is there any way to do this with a muse designed site?

You can if you host with Adobe Business Catalyst and upgrade to the paid webMarketing hosting plan. Business Catalyst Secure Zones is the easiest way to do it with Muse.

Is there a way to password protect a video folder for appletv?

Hey guys, is there a way to password protect certain folders in Appletv? so the kiddies can't watch violent movies?
Thanks

No but there is an alternative for your mac but not your PC.
You could create a second user account and put the adult content into an itunes library there, when you want to watch it open the second user (can be password protected) and start itunes and the library will become accessible from the tv.

How to open password protected files in Numbers for iPad?

In my company, there are formats created in Excel 2010 which have password-protetected cells. Neither Numbers, nor Doccuemts to Go can't open them.
The workaround is having someone open the file in my office and re-save it in an older version, but it messes up with the formatting and it's simply not a practical solution.
Documents to Go still doesn't support Office 2010 password protected files. Numbers niether, so does anyone know of any app that can solve my problem?

Go to the App Store on your iPad and download Adobe Acrobat DC (formerly called Reader).
Open it and click on Help. Then click on Handbook. Read the section on "Open PDFs in Acrobat DC"

Password Protect Part of a Director Movie

Hi,
I've recently purchased INM Impressario and i've added a bunch of PDFS to my director movie.
I'll be handing this movie out to my students, but i would like only certain students to view certain pdf files.
Is there a way i can either password protect the pdf sprite, or would it be easier to go to another frame on button click, whereby the user has to enter a password, and if the password is correct they will be taken to the frame that contains the pdf file.
appreciate any advice. I have never used Lingo before and this is most likely where it will be heading....
many thanks,
Richard.

1) install the xtra
Make sure that you put the budapi.x32 (or whatever the x32 name is) into your Director xtras folder. That would typically be program files\adobe\adobe director 11\configuration\xtras. Older versions of Director would have similar paths, but with Macromedia instead of Adobe
2) Add the xtra to the movie
Open your file in Director and go to Modify, Movie, Xtras... and Add budapi to your projector
3) Make a button that will bring up the prompt.
Use any text or bitap that you want. Give it this script:
on mouseUp me
     userEntered=baPrompt("","Please enter your password","",2,-1,-1)
     if userEntered="CORRECT PASSWORD HERE" then
          go "correct"
     else
          go "incorrect"
     end if
end
*obviously, change CORRECT PASSWORD HERE to the correct password, and change those two go statements to do whatever you want the program to do if the password is entered correctly or incorrectly.

Just synced my 3GS and loaded new 5.0. my apps which were password protected photos and another for credit card info did not transfer back to phone. Where are they?

Just synched my 3GS and loaded 5.0. My photo vault and credit card vault secure apps are gone. Any idea how to recover or where they might be?

If for some reason you failed to transfer them to your computer before updating, then you would have to redownload them.

Is there a way to password protect the delete function for pics/videos??

My 2yr old toddler is randomly deleting my pics and videos on my iphone. Yes he knows how to navigate to the pics and videos on his own. I think its that shiny red delete button that catches his eye when he's bopping around form screen to screen. I just want to disable the delete function function so that he doesnt do that anymore. I know there is the backup but that relies on me knowing when and what he deletes as I dont back up all the time.I heard Android has this feature but wasnt sure if the iPhone did. Any help would be appreciated.

The real way to fix this problem is to obvioulsy not allow a 2 yr old to play with your $600 phone.

I password protected my iweb site how do u undo it so it's public

How do you make ur iweb public after butting username and passcode to get in?

Maybe that's the problem. I used to have Acrobat Pro, but it's disappeared off my system. Can I re-install the old one I had? Or has Adobe stopped supporting the purchased software option?

Password protect site for a group

Is it possible to password protect an iWeb site for a group of people, so each user can create and select a unique username and password to enter the site? I am sure that I would need a 3rd party application to do this, but does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

i am figuring out how to do this "manually." i am creating a site for a sorority. i don't know how to explain it...on one page, there will be a listing of names (or id numbers, user names if you will). i think i will password that so that just to get to that list you have to enter one general password. then from there, you click on your id number to gain access. that will take them to a separate "site" that they will have to enter their specific password. their site will have a link to another page that all of the sites will be linked to. does that make sense? so they will have to manually enter in their own password to get to the common page. it's my theoretical idea, so we'll see how it pans out in practice over the course of the next little while! haha.

IWeb had a password protected site capability. Now what can I use that gives me an equivalent functionality?

Greetings All,
I took over the web site for a club using iWeb. This worked great for several years (2009 to June 30, 2012). I still use iWeb today (minus the password protected members only portion). We have a need for a members only section of the website that is password protected. I put our records, roster, financial notes, members visual directory, etc behind this password protected site. I used iWeb and it was very easy. I have not had this functionality since July 1, 2012 with the demise of mobile me. This is very important to our club and I want to know what other product I can use to make a website with password protection? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

As Roger has already stated, this password protection needs to be set up on your server directly with the loss of this function with the demise of MobileMe.
There is another alternative however and that would be to re-build/transfer your site to one of the Content Management Systems, such as Joomla, Drupal or WordPress.org if your web host offers this facility. Most good web hosts will allow you to install the CMS's on your server and some have one click installation available.
It is very easy to set up password protected parts of your site using a Content Management System such as Joomla, because it is linked to a database that you need to link to. If you install it manually on your host, then you need to set up the database too and then link together, but most now have one click install, where the database is set up for you automatically - not as much flexibility like this over a manual install, but you can set up protected areas of the site and allow memebers to join and set up parts of the site that only members can get to. You can also set up different grades of membership too, so some can see some parts and others not.
If your site is in need to a revamp then consider this, otherwise stick with iWeb and just set up password protection directly on your server.

How to password protect non .mac web site

does anyone have step-by-step directions on how to make my web page password protected on a non .mac web space?
for example, http://www.yoursite.net/~userid
My internet service provider does not support web page creation, they just provide the space.
The only thing they said was the path to my directory is /rmgrazi/public_html/ and I should create my index.html file inside the public folder. I've tried creating and uploading a .htaccess file in the public folder, and then putting a .htpasswd file in my root directory /rmgrazi/
This doesn't seem to work. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

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?

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:
