IIS Website

Gadgetman496

I have a personal IIS Website hosted on a Windows 2008 Minimus package.

I'm trying to find out how to do 2 things

(1) Password protect the site

Do .htaccess and .htpassword files work on IIS Websites?

(2) Looking on how to password protect one page on my site, is there anywhere I can get code snippet that I can insert into the page to do this?

Note: I'm not a coder.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your site is hosted on Blacknight. I suggest contacting their support. They are very good.

There is a Knowledge Base article that sounds like it might help:
Password protected directories on Windows Shared hosting

Yep Blacknight it is.

I see from that Knowledge Base you can password protect a folder from within the user CP. I wonder if that includes the folder you main site files reside in? If it did it would cover protecting the website itself.

I can't find anything in their help section regarding protecting a page though.

I'll give them a shout and see if they can help.

Thanks for the reply demobrew

You can use the web.config to protect a folder and files in IIS.

It can be a fairly long topic - depends on if you want to allow specific windows users or if you want to store usernames and passwords - but the above is a good starting point.
