Protect My Iweb Blog With A Password Without .mac?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-12-25   Tags: , , , , , ,

Hello. I use I web to create a blog and publish it to my site I own from godaddy. So far everything works fine. I read that password protection is only enabled with publishing to .mac, but can I still protect my blog and pictures? I am new to all this and can’t find an answer anywhere else. I love iweb for my blog and don’t want to switch or subscribe to .mac right now as I just bought the domains, hosting and emails with godaddy. Thanks for the help. I can’t wait to get started on it…

    It’s a piece of cake!
    No changes to the html or files!
    the protected directory has a .htaccess file along with a .htpasswd file.
    see it in action at http://jpassoc.com (an iWeb site)
    .htaccess
    AuthName “JP Downloads directory”
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile “…”
    Require valid-user
    ## end basic auth
    .htpasswd
    user:encodedpassword
    user2:encodedpassword
    user3:encodedpassword

    it’s POSSIBLE but it’s very difficult. I had read an article on this not too long ago but can’t find it again. I remember it requiring extensive web scripting and many steps. Didn’t seem worth it to me.
