HOW TO RESTRICT WEB SITE USERS

[RICHARD BROMBERG]

I want to put password protection on a web site .
I went to the Microsoft Knowledge Base and found an article titled "How to
Use a Database for User Names and Passwords in FrontPage 2000" It's located
at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321503 .

I followed the instructions listed there and created the pages required and
loaded them.
The program failed so I read further in the above URL and came across a link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312638/EN-US/ describing prerequisites for
using ASP in FrontPage 2000.

In the trouble shooting section they show you how to construct a test
program "Asptest.asp" .

When I did a Preview in Browser, this test also failed.

Does any one have any suggestions???

Many thanks.

Richard,

To password protect any pages on your website you need to get into the
Administration part of the server. Your hosting service provider must
give you this access. Once they have done that you can access this by
opening up your website with FrontPage and click on Tools, then Server
then Administration Home. Once that opens up, you can then create
password and restric visitors to files and pages.

I guess I didn't describe clearly what I am trying to do.

What I want to do is set up a web site which will require a user to enter a
username and password before being allowed to view the remainder of the
site.

I am assuming that when doing the asptest.asp test you opened a website on a
server that you could publish to, such as:

http://www.hostingsvc.com/mytestweb

If you opened a local web folder, such as one off of the My Documents\My
Webs directory then it should have failed.

Please describe how asptest.asp failed. If it is on a public web server,
please provide the URL.
