administrator password

[Guest]

I was wondering if it is possible to password protect a single page
internally. Frontpage on my computer is available to anyone who signs onto
the computer no matter what the account is, but, I have a specific page that
I want to protect and only have the administrator have access to it, and be
able to update it on a regular basis. The page includes parts, pricing,
manufacturers,etc. so I don't want just anyone able to change aspects of the
page. Is it possible to have a password on that specific page, or do I have
to create a password for all of Frontpage through Windows or something?

Not from FrontPage itself. FP only sets security on a logical entity level,
ie: a web. It isn't granular enough to lock security down on a page or other
single item. You would have to use NTFS permissions for that. That poses
problems though because anytime a check and fix of the server extensions is
done FP would "correct" the permissions for that one file.

Mark:

Since it appears serenity is referring to the local computer, perhaps the
extensions are not installed.

locally you could only password protect the page if you were running Windows
XP Pro with IIS and the FrontPage Server Extensions installed and you
published it to http://localhost/webname The see:

Password Protect Part of a Web: (Requires FrontPage extensions on
server, and host must support subwebs with unique permissions)

HOWEVER, this would only prevent someone from editing it in FrontPage. If
it's a local file on your hard drive all anyone would need to do is open the
file in Notepad and make changes. You would need to add some other -
possibly a 3rd part program - level of security to the file in Windows to
prevent access.
