hey crew,
a group from school asked me to work on their webpage today. They would like to be able to post their clinic schedule anong with contact info behind a password so the general public can't get access to it (easily). Does anybody have a simple way of doing this?
What type of web server is it? Apache?
Search for .htaccess on the internet.
You basically create a file in the directory you want to protect with the list of users and their passwords.
You want the Authentication part of .htaccess. Once you read how to add the .htaccess file, you'll need to review Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control so that you can create usernames and passwords to access a directory.
A second alternative would be to install and configure a forum with a calendar and limit the access to registered accounts.
netcraft says that domain has the following:
Linux Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) PHP/4.3.3
If pockets were deep and the situation called for it (sounds like neither are the case for Adcadet), I'd suggest something enterprise-class like SiteMinder. That's what we use, and I manage, here at work. Very nice policy-based tool.
Who hosts the site? If it is an outside company like pair, you should be able to password protect a folder through the admin GUI without any special software.
Most online hosting companies do have a web based method to create protected pages. These online scripts will do the manual commands that I linked to. If you're interested in learning how to setup password protected pages, then view my links. Otherwise, do as Buck mentioned and try to use the hosting providers control panel.
You might also want to browse through www.hotscripts.com for schedule management tools. They may already have something you're looking for written in something like PHP/Perl/etc...that is free.
