Hi peter.

Try www.hotscripts.com for some pre-made password gateways.

otherwise, try the 'Authentification' tutorial at www.webmonkey.com

(note: I deleted the identical post in the 'Graphics' forum, plz try not to cross post)

Here is a tutorial on using htaccess -

here are premade scripts for the most popular server-side languages -

http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/User_Authentication/

http://www.hotscripts.com/ASP/Scripts_and_Components/User_Authentication/


The only way to be secure is to use a server-side language to authenticte users, or by using UNIX itself with .htaccess. DO NOT be tempted by a JavaScript or Java password gate as these are NOT SECURE in any way shape or form.

If the thought of learning this stuff is a bit daunting, you may want to consider remotely-hosted password gateways afterall.

server side language are asp, php etc

Check the TOS of your web host, too, regarding password protected sites - they being contrary to the spirit of the internet.
