TTG Tutorial: Password Protect LR Galleries

Because people have been requesting a password protected gallery for some time now, I dug around and found a good way to password protect any gallery or webpage you'd like. A brief tutorial:

Thanks a lot, Matt.
This is so useful to people like me, who have no idea about creating and managing webgalleries / websites.

Using mobileme password protected galleries on iWeb

I have a bunch of galleries on my mobileme gallery; most of them are visible only by specific users. I would like to use them on a iWeb (password protected) web site but the option Insert-> MobileMe Gallery is only available for public galleries not for password protected ones. Is there any workaround for this?

You could try embedding a Gallery in your iWeb page — see this old thread:
...or you could hyperlink from an iWeb page to a Gallery.

Can photo galleries be password protected? How?

Under my iWeb I have several dozen of the "old" style photo pages, and several dozen photo galleries. I have never applied a password to any part of my iWeb. Is it possible to password protect each of these pages (both pages and the new photo galleries)? If so, how? And, if so, can I apply a password to everything at one time, or would I have to do so to each page and gallery? Thank you!

Yes, it can. Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.

Password Protection for MobileMe Galleries

I want to have per friend a different login that I can apply on a MobileMe gallery, however it seems only to take 1 per gallery. Did I miss something ?
It seems as if it is only taking one user&password combo per gallery. However this would limit people very much in managing the access rights to different galleries.
For Example, Friend A should only see Galleries A, B with their login
Friend B should only see Galleries A and C with their login
Friend C should only see Galleries A, C and D with their login
How can it be done ?

Here is how I understand it to work.
If Friend A should only see Galleries A, B then you give that friend the username and password for Galleries A & B only.
If Friend B should only see Galleries A and C, then you give that friend the username and password only for Galleries A and C only
And so forth.
You can only assign 1 user name and 1 password per gallery. So it's not necessarily a persons name and a specific password for that person only, it's a username and password specific only to that gallery.
You can however assign the same user name and password to more then 1 gallery.
For example, maybe you have galleries that only family members should see. You could assign a username of "Family" and a password of "only" to all of the galleries that you want only your family members to access That way they wouldn't have to remember a bunch of different user names and passwords for all the different galleries, they would only have to remember 1 user name and 1 password.
Does that help at all?

Iweb and using mobileme password protected photo gallery

Welcome to the discussions. Try this...
• Temporarily unprotect the Gallery
• The Gallery should now appear in the list of available Galleries — add it

How to split a password-protected PDF file?

There is a tutorial to let you know how to split a password-protected pdf file, check in here:http://www.kvisoft.com/tutorials/split-a-password-protected-PDF-file.html

Yup. You all are right. I ordered Adobe Acrobat today and the order is still processing. I can get to Adobe Acrobat.com but that too does not work. I guess I will have to wait until my order is processed before I get the keys to the kingdom. Thanks for your help and please forgive my ignorance.Regards,Bob

Password protected site and gallery: no go

Hi,
i'm trying to publish a password protected site to mobileme. The site will contain links to mobileme galleries (password protected too).
first issue: i can't add a protected gallerie to iweb, iweb doesn't show it. After removing the protection ("visible to everone") it works. After setting up the site, i turned on the protection again.
Now my browser ask for the password for every gallery on the page (it's the same user and password for every gallery and the site).
I don't think, that my visitors will like that...

Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

IPhoto - MobileMe gallery subscription - problem with password-protected

I am having a peculiar problem with subscribed galleries from MobileMe in iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09. For galleries that have password-protection enabled, the full URL of the gallery subscription feed is pulled through as the Subscription title instead of the gallery title.
For example "http://gallery.e.com/ACCOUNT-NAME/XXXXXX/?webdav-method-truthget&depth=infinit y&feedfmt=atom....
This doesn't occur for public MobileMe galleries. The title of the gallery comes across and the URL of the subscription is hidden.
Anyone having similar problems? Local Genius Bar couldn't help and assumed it was just a bug, but it doesn't seem to be typical of Apple.
As an aside, it would also be nice to have these feed subscriptions behave similarly to the way RSS subscriptions work in Mail, with the ability to select how often the feed is queried and indicate the number of new items. This would alert users of changes to feeds.
Joe

Upon further research, it appears that this problem occurs when publishing from either iPhoto or Aperture to MobileMe. The problem seems to be when a gallery is published and one chooses not to have the gallery appear on the main gallery page (hidden). It seems to have nothing to do with whether or not one protects the gallery with a password.
So, Apple, if you are listening, can you provide any information on how to have the title of the gallery come through when subscribing using iPhoto while at the same time not listing the gallery on the main MobileMe gallery page? This seems to be a fixable bug.

Password protecting a gallery?

Hello all,
This is my first post in the Apple support discussions!
I was wondering if there is a way to password a specific gallery in iWeb '08, and not the whole site?
I'm a photographer and would like to be able to have client specific galleries that are password protected, so only myself and the client can access their galleries.
I publish to Mobileme.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Since only an entire site can be password protected your option is to create a new site for each client with just the photo gallery page(s) in it. You can then add a hyperlink to that gallery on your public site.
If you would want to have each private gallery/site in the navbar of the public site create a blank page for each client and named for that client. Then add the code in this demo page to an HTML snippet:
Redirect. When a client clicks on the navbar link he will immediately be taken to the protected site.
You can put a similar blank page on the protected sites pointing back to the public site.

Password protecting a swf that i want to upload to my website

Hi all. I would appreciate it seeing a tutorial showing how to password protect a swf uploaded to my website.
I have a swf that is a work in progress, is NOT ready for public viewing, and i need some critique from a friend in the USA, and if i could upload it and give her the password, it would be viewable only for her, or for whoever else i'd give the password.
So, i've looked at a thread from a while back, http://forums.adobe.com/message/718264#718264, which explains stuff that is beyond me, on xml programming.
And, i am aware that the Publish settings has an option to add a password, I tried it but am unsure what that does if anything.
thanks.

If you zip your files into a folder, any email service should allow them to pass. If the swf does not rely on external data files or dynamically loaded files, then sending the swf alone would suffice since it can be played without the need for the html page.
As for the robotics end of things, if you add the following lines into the head section of the html page, the creepy things should avoid your pages...
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
I don't know if newer tags have been invented for these purposes over the last couple of years, but if so, a search of Google should reveal any.

A simple way to password protect my personal website?

I have an online photo album, and I don't necessarily want everyone to have access to my baby pics and me running around in my underwear when I was seven years old, so I want to password-protect the site. I have a good basic knowledge of building a site using DW-MX, but I admit that it's not very advanced. :>(( Does DW have a built-in ability to password-protect, or should I use something else?
I don't code HTML myself, but I think I could follow a tutorial as long as it's not too technical. I'm a bit hesitant that I'm going to bungle things in trying to implement a password, so I want to make sure I do this right.
Ideally I'd like to have a password field on my index/splash page, which one would need to pass in order to access any other sub-page. My host is GoDaddy, but I believe I've asked them about this possibility, and they just made suggestions for me - they didn't offer to do it themselves.

Does your goDaddy host support php? if so put a form similar to the one below on your index page i.e., asking for a 'password' and 'username'
<form action="password_protected.php" method="get">
<p>Username<br />
<input name="username" id="username" type="text" /></p>
<p>Password<br />
<input name="password" id="password" type="text" /></p>
<label for="button"></label>
<p><input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login" />
</form></p>
Then create another page in DW and save it as password_protected.php. Open it in DW, go into code view and delete everything. Copy the below php code and paste it into the empty file and save it. Change the username and password from 'Pink', 'Elephant' to what you require and change the first url link from http://www.bbc.co.uk to that of the page you want protected and change http://www.itv.co.uk to that of the page you wish to send the user to if they do not supply the correct details.
<?php
$username = $_GET['username'];
$password = $_GET['password'];
if($username == "Pink" && $password == "Elephant") {
            header("Location: http://www.bbc.co.uk"); }
            else {
                header("Location: http://www.itv.co.uk");
?>

Password protecting certain pages?

Hi —
Does anyone know if it's possible to password protect all pages bar your homepage? I'd like to be able to do this whilst I'm trying to update my site but still wanted visitors to be able to access my home page.
Thanks all.

You can password protect certain pages only with iTweak.
As stated by Wyodor , you also need to take a look at your host.
The most common way is to protect by .htaccess if supported by your host
Take a look at the tutorial of iTweak for password protect.
Good luck

How to password protect an existing MobileMe gallery folder?

I have created quite a few large events and published them on MobileMe, and did not think about restricting access to them. Now I want to password protect some of them, but could not find a place in iPhoto where I could change MobileMe gallery properties. Is there a way to do this without deleting and publishing again? Or change access privileges to these galleries in the future?

While viewing the gallery in iPhoto click on the Setting cog wheel button at the bottom. In the window that comes click on the Advanced button. Now you can hid the gallery from your other galleries and assign a username and password to it.
