Protecting a webpage with a Password

I need to protect a page on our website with a password.
I realise this can only be done server-side and our website
is written in
Dreamweaver using HTML code.
I thought I had solved the problem when I found a really
good, free php
script (I don't know anything about PHP) but if I understand
the
instructions the whole website would have to be written in
php for it to
work, so it's no good.
The company who host our website do not offer any of their
own scripts for
such a purpose but have no objection to us uploading a script
of our own.
Can anyone give me advice or refer me to a website that will
help me achieve
a password protected web page?
Your help will be appreciated.
Noel

Thanks very much John,
I called RM and it seems likely that they will be able to
create a password
protected directory on their server.

How to protect against a pdf printing without protecting the file with a password ?

I want to know if it's possible to protect a PDF against printing without protecting the file with a password ?
It's possible to make it with Acrobat Reader or another version ?
Thank You
Best regards.

Hi,
Yes, you can restrict editing and printing of the document; although you have setup a permission password (To restrict the users from changing the document permissions).
Please follow the steps mentioned below:-
Open the file in Adobe Acrobat- Document properties- Security- Change security method to password security- Select Restrict editing and printing of the document

Protect PDF files with a password

Hi everyone,
Do you know if there's a way to protect PDF documents with a password? I don't mean those apps (e.g. Google Reader) that let you password-protect your files just while you're using/viewing them on the iPad, I'd like an app that if you want (let's say) send your protected PDF via mail, it's still protected!

I finally managed to find the application I was looking for: it's called Foxit PDF nad it's free to download on the App Store!

By default, Disk Utility has the "Add to Keychain" setting checked on.
You have to make a new image and turn this funtion off if you want to make sure the video stays private on your computer.
If you send the video to another computer, the user will have to enter the password.

Password Protected Wireless Network with Unknown Password

I have a Linksys WRTP54G wireless router for internet access with my laptop pc. It was installed by a local computer tech (who is no longer accessible) several years ago with my Gateway desktop computer which has Windows 98 for an operating system. I just purchased a Lenovo laptop which runs Windows Vista Home Premium. When I "power up" the Lenovo, I receive a message "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Web Page". I then use Windows Network Diagnostics, and View Available Wireless Networks. Two networks are presented. The first is linksys - unsecured network. The second is the last name of the computer tech - security enabled network. I want to use the Security Enabled Network but when I choose it I am prompted for a password that I do not have. Can anyone tell me how to overcome this obstacle and either eliminate the need for a password or reset it with one that I create? I don't have great technical skills but follow instructions well.

You can just change the wireless settings by accessing the router's set-up page.. Try to check what is the the ip of your router by going to the desktop w/c is wired to the router and online.
-Go to RUN
-Typed in -winipcfg-
-Get the default gateway (it starts w/ 192.168.15.1)
-Open up IE or Firefox, typed in 192.168.15.1 on the address bar
-If it ask for the UN and PW, just typed -admin- (lower case) on the UN and PW
-If you see the Linksys set-up page that has blue and black color your on the right page BUT after you typed in -admin- and it still ask for the UN and PW and the last tech didnt leave you a UN and PW for the router then you need to reset the router and reconfigure everything...
-BUT if your on the Linksys set-up page, click on WIRELESS tab
-Look below and look for the WIRELESS NETWORK NAME SSID
-If you want to change it then go ahead and after changing it just click CONTINUE or you will go back to the same page
-If you want to check the wireless password or unsecure it:
-Click on WIRELESS SECURITY under the wireless tab
-You can get there your wireless password
-If you want to disable the wireless security then just
-Click on the drop down arrow on the SECURITY MODE and click on DISABLE
Hope this helps....... n_n
By the way, the -- are not included..

Can I protect a profile with a password?

Different users of my PC have created 3 different profiles . Can these profiles be protected by 3 different passwords (e.g. while creating a profile) in order to ensure each user can only access his own profile, but not the 2 others?
akribius

You can use the Master Password+ add-on ([ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password]) to make the user enter a password before Firefox starts.
Though primarily intended to enhance the master password options in Firefox, you can set up the master password + add-on to always ask for a password when Firefox starts, and if either cancelled or not entered correctly after a set number of attempts it will exit Firefox.
This protection is quite basic, it does not stop somebody from copying the data files from the protected profile folder into a new profile, allowing them to access contents of the protected profile.

Password Protection of PDF with multiple passwords stored in external database.

Ok, here is what I need to do.
I need to find a way to embed a script into a PDF using LifeCycle Designer so if someone downloads my PDF they won't be able to access it unless they are a registered user in my MSAccess or MySQL database.
Link from PDF to external database to authenticate USER before allowing the PDF to be opened (in case they have downloaded it to their desktop).
Is there a creative way or alternative to accomplish this? Just looking to prevent the average person (not the security savy webmaster).
Thank you.

The Bouncy Castle JCE provider (www.bouncycastle.org) has Base64 encoder/decoder classes that 'just work'.
import org.bouncycastle.util.encoders.Base64;
String base64encodedString = "ABCKD4632adcomd";
byte[] decoded = Base64.decode(base64encodedString);
String reencoded = new String(Base64.encode(decoded));As for your second question re: how should you re encrypt the passwords? The standard, quite secure way of doing this is to use a one-way cipher. This will encrypt the password text to an unintelligible mess, that CANNOT be decrypted back to the original.
When a new user enters their password for the first time, you use your cipher to encrypt it, and store this (not the actual password).
To verify this user, you take the password they give you, encrypt it in the same way, and compare the results.
Unix/Linux can use a shell command called 'crypt' to do exactly this... MySQL will also do it for you... INSERT INTO blah VALUES(CRYPT('blahpasswordstring'), and SELECT * FROM blah WHERE password=CRYPT('enteredpassword')).
... and its far too early in the morning, and I cant for the life of me remember the JCE equivalent of this function :(

Protecting Folders with a Password

Is it possible to protect a folder with a password?
I want to create a sensitive document in OmniOutline. This program does not offer password protection for the files it creates. So I would like to make the folder the file will be in password protected. I don't want to go through the trouble of creating a new user account on the computer, just for this one file.

Hello! There are two ways. One is with SECREFOLDER. The safest way to securely encrypt data is to use an encrypted disk image. The directions are HERE. Tom

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.

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

How can I set up SMB file sharing to share my PC external hard drive on my Mac with no password protection?

I am having the worst trouble with two things. I am very aware how to get the server to show up via SMB, but every time I log off the Macbook, the server's disappear. OK, so I went into "System Preferences" and hit "Users and Accounts" and added the server as a log in item. Worked well, except how do I stop that password prompt from coming up? I am using a Guest account with no password but I continue to get the password prompt. There is nowhere to hit remember password or anything. I have the option to remember the password in the keychain but I have no way of preventing the pop up.
Another issue I'm having is I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer connected to my PC through USB. Three other PC's can connect wirelessly to print through the home network. My Mac does not find the printer, and when I manually add it, it recognizes it but WILL NOT print. It comes up with error messages like Authentican Required and connection issues between printers.
I have no password protection on my PC and have enabled sharing of all devices and folders through the Homegroup on the PC. I just can't figure it out. I am new to Mac and would love to get these two things figured out.
Thanks in advance for reading!

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

And why is it suddenly in english ? I startet from a german installation. How can i protect one E-Mail account with a password may be the office part and give

may be in the office with a password, and give the other free for the rest of the users without password, the master password didn't help here I mean, or the handling for this is not clear to see for me

There is no full or partial password protection that is really more than an inconvenience.
You could however use the operating system permissions, but again whole application would be the result.
I have heard of updates occasionally reverting to English, an install will set it back. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html as data and program are separate reinstalling will not be an issue.

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)
