	If you're just providing a link to the other site, just link
	to it.  The other site is the one that will ask for some
	authenticating information ....

| 166.2 | a newbie is also wondering.... | KANATA::ZUTRAUEN | always lookin' to learn | Tue Apr 15 1997 21:45 | 11 | 
|  |     Hi, I'm wondering also.....
    
    re -.1
    
    But how would the owner of the protected page add password access?
    Is there a java-applet avail to do this? 
    Or is this feature avail. in some of the authoring tools?
    Where would the pasword/user table be stored?
    
    Thx!

| 166.3 | .htaccess ?? | 45862::wazock.lzo.dec.com::taylor_m |  | Wed Apr 16 1997 10:09 | 7 | 
|  | Myself, I'd put the 'private' page in a subdirectory and
set that directory to have authorisation required.
I use Apache and all it needs is a .htaccess file in that 
directory with user names. I've no idea how IS handles this.

| 166.4 | WHICH SERVER? | CIM2NI::CROSBY |  | Wed Apr 16 1997 14:02 | 6 | 
|  | If you are using IIS, you set priviledges using NT file manager.
I suppose you could get a little fancy by using cookies to let the server
recognize an authorized viewer the second or third time around.

| 166.5 | javascript password protection | 45862::16.194.64.204::watson | OK, whats todays long term strategy? | Thu Apr 17 1997 10:13 | 6 | 
|  | Check out http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/weblinks/gate_keeper/index.html
for a simple JavaScript password protector.  It will onyl allow one 
password (the filename of the page) but OK for a quick and dirty solution 
if you dont have privs. to do cgi or administer the server.
