Php password protection

Hi all, and as usual I am also new to RH. I am running a
password protection site using php include.
I have published my WebHelp project but was trying to change
the htm file to php and include the php include and I keep
receiving this error - "whlstt0.htm was not found on this server."
I have done a search and can not find any direction. Has
anyone an idea of how I can create a default php file the will open
all the frame files needed?

Hi Thanray
Is it possible that you simply need a PHP file to serve as a
barrier between your WebHelp project and the outside world? If so,
just create a stand-alone page that does this and allows access.
Then forget about adding PHP to your RoboHelp pages. I think you
will find that things will work much more smoothly that way.
Cheers... Rick

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:

After updating on my mac - I cannot open various password protected pages - like my WordPress site. I can open them from Safari and from Firefox on my windows pc.

after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change
I have modified the wp-pass.php file several suggested ways related to the referrer and nothing solves the issue.
I tried:
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer());
to
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer() . '?');
NO GOOD
I tried:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>$location = wp_get_referer();
if ( $location == '' )
$location = './';
wp_redirect($location, $status = 302);
</nowiki></pre>
NO GOOD
I have upgraded WordPress to 3.3.1. Still NO GOOD
I have deactivated, and also removed all plug-ins. Still NO GOOD.
Anyone have any ideas?
Why just an FF issue?
IE no problems

Trying to password protect a directory in my portal web server

I have a third party web file manage called ckfinder that i am testing for a client and it works fine. However, when i try to password protect the directory using .htaccess file, it doesn't work. It starts out by kicking me to the SSO logine page, which is fine. But when i put a valid user name and password, it displays a page cannot be displayed error with the url being:
https://infra.portal2.bynum.com:4443/sso/auth
I checked the ssoServer.log and this is what it reads:

How do I password protect a webpage in adobe muse?

Chech this out
What is Password Protection
There are many websites that cause a box to pop up asking you for a username and password. If you don't know the password, you can't enter the site. This provides some security to your Web pages and gives you the chance to choose who you want to allow to see and read your Web pages. There are many ways to password protect your Web pages, from PHP, to JavaScript, to HTAccess (on the Web server).
When Should You Password Protect Pages?
With HTAccess, you can password protect any page or directory on your Web server. You can even protect the entire website if you want to. HTAccess is the most secure method of password protection, as it relies on the Web server, so the valid usernames and passwords are never shared with the Web browser or stored in the HTML like they can be with other scripts. People use password protection:
Hiding new versions of your website from the public until they are ready to launch.
Protecting private sections of your website so that only people you know and trust can read them.
Providing paid content to your customers and only allowing access via a password.
Creating a private forum for select readers.
It's Easy to Password Protect Your Web Pages
You need to do two things:
Create a password file to store the usernames and passwords that will have access to the directory.
Create an htaccess file in the directory to be password protected.
Create the Password File
Open a new text file called.htpasswdNote the period at the beginning of the filename.
Use a password encryption program to create your passwords. Paste the lines into your .htpasswd file and save the file. You will have one line for every username that requires access.
Upload the .htpasswd file to a directory on your Web server that is not live on the Web. In other words, you should not be able to go to http://YOUR_URL/.htpasswd - it should be in a home directory or other location that is secure.
Create the htaccess File
Open a text file called.htaccessNote the period at the beginning of the filename.
Add the following to the file: AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd/file/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Name of Area" AuthType Basic require valid-user
Change/path/to/htpasswd/file/.htpasswdto the full path to the .htpasswd file you uploaded in above.
Change"Name of Area"to the name of the site section being protected. This is used primarily when you have multiple areas with different protection levels.
Save the file and upload it to the directory you want protected.
Test that the password works by accessing the URL. If your password doesn't work, go back to the encryption programs and encrypt it again. Remember that the username and password will be case-sensitive. If you are not prompted for a password, contact your system administrator to make sure that HTAccess is turned on for your site.

SAP version 4.7 Email pdf file that is password protected.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement:
Email pdf file that is password protected.
Once the user receives the email, clicks on the attached pdf file,
     it should ask the password. Note that Password value should come from SAP.
What we have done is get the spool number and by using function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, it converts the spool document to pdf.
On this function module, there are no parameters to make pdf as password protected and
also include the password. This is the problem.
Question:
   (a) Is there a way to make pdf password protected that will be emailed?
        What function modules, etc to be used? (sample coding if available)
   (b) Somebody mentioned the that Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server should be installed together with SAP.
        If this is installed, how then would be the abap coding be in order to make the pdf password
            protected?
        How is the new policy server gonna be linked to SAP and how do the abap coding gonna be?
           (sample abap coding if available)
Thanks.

Can I password-protect a PDF file?

I'm trying to set up a site with a 'members-only' area that
contains PDF files. Is there some way to password-protect the files
themselves, or do I need to settle for a protected php page that
links to the files. While it's unlikely that a non-member would be
able to guess the filenames, it's possible that an ex-member who's
username and password have been removed would still be able to
access the files with a bookmark, as they're not protected.
I understand that short of a commercial product to convert
pdf to html, I'm stuck with the pdf format, but is there some way
to embed the pdf within a html page?
DW8 WinXP php mySQL

You can actually create files and store them with different
names, so as
they can't be downloaded conventionally ...
In most Windows, and I am assuming PHP setups - you can store
files above
the root and use a page to call them ...
You protect them too - I think on a blanket (all instances of
the file have
the same password) approach is easier ...
Or take a look at this

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.

Internet Explorer will not open a password-protected webpage

I've asked this question in the General Discussion forum but
did not find a solution. I am using DW8.0.2 / MySQL 4.1 / PHP5.1 to
create PHP login and restricted access webpages. Locally (i.e.
Windows XP / IIS5.0), they all function properly no matter what
browser I use. However, on my ISP's server that running Linux /
Apache, Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x will not open the
password-protected webpages - all the other php pages open and
function properly. I can use Opera, Netscape, or Firefox and the
pw_protected webpages open fine - just not in IE.
I've tried cookies on / off, popup blocker on / off, and
changed my PHP login scripting - all to no avail. Any one have any
ideas why IE won't open a PHP-scripted pw-protected webpage while
all other browsers can?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've added the site to IE's
Trusted Zone... but no luck. And to test further, I've turned off
EVERY 'disable' feature I could in IE and still no joy.
Could the problem be how IE proceses (or doesn't process) my
PHP logon scripts and possibly does not pass the session on to
Apache (the server is a Linux box running Apache)? I'm enclosing my
scripts for review and hopefully for a discovery of why this is
happening only in IE and not the other browsers.
Here is my logon script:
<?php
// *** Start the session
session_start();
// *** Validate request to log in to this site.
$FF_LoginAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) &&
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']!="") $FF_LoginAction .=
"?".htmlentities($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']);
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'])) {
$FF_valUsername=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'];
$FF_valPassword=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Password'];
$FF_fldUserAuthorization="Status";
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess="bulletin_edit.php";
$FF_redirectLoginFailed="access_error.html";
$FF_rsUser_Source="SELECT Username, Password ";
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") $FF_rsUser_Source .= ","
. $FF_fldUserAuthorization;
$FF_rsUser_Source .= " FROM tblaccess WHERE Username='" .
$FF_valUsername . "' AND Password='" . $FF_valPassword . "'";
mysql_select_db($database_leathernecks, $leathernecks);
$FF_rsUser=mysql_query($FF_rsUser_Source, $leathernecks) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_FF_rsUser = mysql_fetch_assoc($FF_rsUser);
if(mysql_num_rows($FF_rsUser) > 0) {
// username and password match - this is a valid user
$MM_Username=$FF_valUsername;
session_register("MM_Username");
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") {
$MM_UserAuthorization=$row_FF_rsUser[$FF_fldUserAuthorization];
} else {
$MM_UserAuthorization="";
session_register("MM_UserAuthorization");
if (isset($accessdenied) && false) {
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess = $accessdenied;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = false;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginSuccess");
exit;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = true;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginFailed");
exit;
?>
And here is the script that appears on each restricted
webpage:
<?php
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
$FF_authorizedUsers=" edit";
$FF_authFailedURL="access_error.html";
$FF_grantAccess=0;
session_start();
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_Username"])) {
if (false ||
!(isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) ||
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"]=="" ||
strpos($FF_authorizedUsers,
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) {
$FF_grantAccess = 1;
if (!$FF_grantAccess) {
$FF_qsChar = "?";
if (strpos($FF_authFailedURL, "?")) $FF_qsChar = "&";
$FF_referrer = "Restricted Area";
$FF_authFailedURL = $FF_authFailedURL . $FF_qsChar .
"accessdenied=" . urlencode($FF_referrer);
header("Location: $FF_authFailedURL");
exit;
?>
Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Password Protected PDF files

When a password protected attachement is sent to my iPhone, there is no icon attached, only the code in the email. However, it's normal when I view the email with my PC (Fire Fox or IE). The same thing happens on the iPhone 3, 4 and iPad 3. Without the PDF icon, I cannot save the file to be opened with any other application such as iBooks or PDF readers. Any ideas?

That's indeed a problem with Quickoffice Adobe reader2.5 which doesn't support password protected pdf. You can raise a ticket in the quickoffice support page requesting that feature. http://support.quickoffice.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit

Password protecting a webpage.

I'd like to password protect one page on my website. How do I do that?

Hi Jennifer,
in addition to all these good recommendations: The easiest way - in my opinion - to protect the recommended website(s) with a password is to ask your provider for this possibility. I can show you here the menu of my German host (Passwortschutz > Password protection):
Here an example of one of my websites, where I used my providers service. You can see what happens if you don't know the required details:
http://dala-laegret1963.de/AccBlocked/AccBlocked.php. There only these users who know the passwords can enter this website.
As you can see I didn't struggle to write the ".htaccess" file of myself, I used the provider's (ISP) service. The advantage is, that the two files (.htaccess and .htpasswd) are created simultaneously and systemconform. You will find this offer, I am sure, at your provider's website.
Dreamweaver has so too a very easy server-side authentication behaviors built-in... have you looked at those? (Server Behaviors --> Authenticate Users)

Password Protected Zip Files

i have recieved a number of password protected zip files which the unzip utility in osx leopard will not open. (i have the correct password).
i've downloaded a couple of smallish utilities from the download area but they don't seem to be able to accept a password either.
would someone be kind enough to point me towards a download (hopefully on the apple site) which can accept a password to open a zip file.
thanks to all.
ps-in the interests of futility i did try my unrarx application on an off chance it would work. it didn't.

Here's some you could try. The first two links are to zip utilities for OS X. I can't tell you if they'll do what you need, I just looked for zip programs that work in OS X.
The third link is for the free Stuffit Expander. The last link is the results for "zip" at VersionTracker. You'll just have to try a bunch of them to find one that hopefully works.

Is it possible to put password protection on a document?

I need procedures for encrypting or password protecting pages documents.

sam,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's not possible to hide Pages documents from within Pages. But I searched on MacUpdate and came up with this http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/18439 app that hides folders, into which you can put any file you want to hide.
