Password protect web pages

Guest

Hello,
I am using FP2003
I would like to password protect my web pages without server side scripting
or using a data base. I have found software that may accomplish this;
Advanced HTML Encrypt and Password Protect http://www.aevita.com/web/lock/
have you heard of this software or do you know of any that will accomplish
the task? There will be no sensative information that will reside on the
pages. I have tried using subwebs and have no trouble creating and
understanding the use. My problem is that I have a links on my home page
http://www.cdgroupinc.com/ "Registered Representatives log in" and
"Registered Employers log in" where I would like our Rep's and Employers to
put in their username & password to go to the page that is unique to them.
They will only be viewing the page and not changing anything. My hosting
company Verio says I need server side scripting to accomplish the task. I
understand what they mean but they want to charge me 10 hours at $150.00 an
hour to complete. I have respect for developers because they can accomplish
tasks that I can't. I just want to see if there is another way.
Thank you for you help,
Regina

Any form of real security on a website requires server-side scripting.
JavaScript is not secure - any JavaScript encryption is easily broken, that
must be the case since the browser has to do it to display the page and
check the login details.

For a no-cost JavaScript "solution" see

THIS IS NOT SECURE IN ANY WAY - it only looks good.

If your site has FrontPage extensions and supports subwebs with unique
permissions:
Password Protect Part of a Web:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301554 (FP2000)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825451 (FP2003)

Protect individual pages: (Requires Windows Server with support for ASP
and Access database)

Okay Ron that did it for me! there is no software that will protect pages.
You had mentioned Protect individual pages: (Requires Windows Server with
support for ASP and Access database) This looks like the way I should go!
Thanks again,
Regina
