I have this Javascript with which one can secure a page and make loginbox. Is a thing like this also usable for a whole map or do you need something totally different for that?
@OperatorDFSauthorJan 13.2003 — #Is there any way to make a secure directory on a webserver? I have a domain from a serviceprovider and I would like to add a secure directory to that server. I'd also like to make it so that I can add a person and give him/her a specific username and password. No person from outside should be allowed in that dir. Can someone help me with this problem?
@OperatorDFSauthorJan 13.2003 — #I know that the server had a function with which you can make a secure dir, but the username and password for that are the same as the ones I have to use for accessing the server for uploads and stuff. You might understand that that's not an option for me. Can you explain the other option so I can see if I can use that one? For i don't have a clue about how it works...
@OperatorDFSauthorJan 13.2003 — #Isn't there a program for such things? I've been using an applet from Coffeecup so far, but with that, it isn't possible to protect a whole dir, but just a single file... Can anyone send some ideas of how to make such a thing? My server can work with most common scripts and stuff...
@AdamGundryJan 13.2003 — #If you're using Apache (and possibly some other web servers?), you can create files called .htaccess and .htpasswd (Unix hidden files) which specify access restrictions.
I suggest you search for ".htaccess" and look for a tutorial.
