change password on staff access page

[Michele]

Using FP 2003 on Windows XP. On our home page www.rec.udel.edu we have a
staff access link (bottom right) that brings up a simple form to enter a
password. We have had personnel changes and need to reset this password. How
do you do that? I've changed thename of the sub pages because the password
then became part of the new page name.

We don't need incryption. This is a rather low level barrier for staff to
access calendars and forms and minutes. etc.

You need to find the instructions that came with the 3rd party script, or
contact the script provider. It is not part of FrontPage or the Operating
System.

Hmmm, I know nothing about scripts. and the person who created this no longer
here. I thought that this was done using the FP form wizard and then clicking
the password box. When I use the form, Password 1 comes up but no value,
which I assume was the old password

 

[Michele]

Could I just delete this page and create a new form that would require one
word to get to the subsequent URL?

This is a third party script.

It certainly wouldn't be a password protected page.

That would be the easiest solution.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/jspass/ for examples of
javascript login scripts that will be easier to manage. Note that with
these scripts no security is implied or guaranteed, but at least the
password is not contained in the page.

I am finding it hard to believe that this is so difficult. In the FB book I
have,unfortunately, a 2002 edition, it talks about using a form to protect a
particular web page from being viewed.

If you can please visit this site:

http://www.rec.udel.edu/TopLevel/staff access.htm

right now, all employees here type inone word. THat takes them to the web
page which also had the password in it. All I want to do is change that word
to a new word. WHen I right click on that blue box with the password field,
I get Formproperties but I don't know how to change the value of the word
that was to the one I want it to be.

That would be the easiest solution.

Your existing page uses a complex script to validate the password and
build the link to the "protected" page. To change the password, you
have to change the data used in the script.

The FrontPage methods to do this are described at:

http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/protect-page/


JavaScript alternatives are at the link I posted earlier:

http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/jspass/

The "simple" javascript solution is the simplest method I know.

Thank you. We are getting close. For the record, all users would the same
word - and to my knowledge is not stored anywhere. Under form properties the
send to other is checked and the field states CustomISAPI, NSAPI, CGI or ASP
Script. Under form name it says password 1.When I went into the page that
was protectec with the word "brick" I couldnt see anything that remotely
looks like what you have in your Iamauser let me in page. Should I copy that
and paste above my page and then replace the password with the one I want?
Then, the page with the sign on, how do I change the code for that?

Ronx,

If I am copying this above my html, do I take outthe line referrubg
myuserid, since I dont use one? Can I just delete where that appears do I
have to close the blank line?

According to http://www.rec.udel.edu/_vti_inf.html your site is running the FP Server Extensions
If your online host supports subwebs, most do,
-you could move all the protected pages to a folder and convert that folder to a FP Subweb
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825451
