User/Password help

[km01grant]

How do I go about protecting a few pages with user name and password using CGI, Perl, PHP, or ASP (which I don't know a thing about any of them). :o)

Can I do it with these or do I have to go with something else? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The first thing to do, check what serverside languages you can use on your webhost.

Also check if you are on an Apache webserver. Then you are often able to passwordprotect sections with no other serverside language nessesary.

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for replying. This is what I'm told I have.

CGI Support, Perl Scripting, PHP Scripting, Active Server Pages (ASP), Server Side Includes (SSI), 128-bit SSL Secure Server (Certificate not Included), and Personalized Server-side Message Rules.

Do I have what I need? Oh, and I am also on an Apache webserver.

The CGI directory it'self has number of natural safegaurds.

However the easiest solution would be to modify your .HTACCESS File.


Here is a link to a site with more information. http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml

Also if you need more info just go to google and type in .HTACCESS
