For each user whom you wish to authorize you enter three pieces of information: (1) a Username, (2) a Password, and (3) a "First Secure Page" that you want the user to go to when he/she successfully logs in. You can specify different pages for each user, which might be a useful strategy if you want to have personal pages for each employee, member, etc. In the above example, both authorized Employees, Frank and Betsy, will go to the emp119087g.htm page, which is the main Employee page.

(Note: we recommend giving secure pages non-obvious names, as in the above example. Even though the secure pages will be protected by code that prevents unauthorized users from accessing them, you can add an extra level of security by using page names that are not easily guessable by outsiders).

When you have entered data for all your authorized users and click the "Next" button, you will see the following screen:

At this point, you're almost done. The program reports that it has created four files, which are placed in a subfolder under your site's main folder, and which contain the information and logic for enforcing password security on your site.

You need to copy the HTML code in the box on the left side of the form (which you can do by clicking the second button at the bottom of the form), and paste it into the body of a page on which you want your users to login. If you're using WebBuild Express, you can paste the code you copy from this form into a Code Cell.

You also need to copy the code in the right-hand box and paste it into the header of each page that you want to make secure. This will prevent an unauthorized user from going directly to the page and viewing it without logging in. In WebBuild Express, you can paste this code into the "Head" section of the Page Edit screen.

At this point, the job is done. Authorized users can log into the form that you placed on the login page:








Try logging into the above form using "frank" or "betsy" as the User Name and "frankpass" or "betsypass" as the Password (user names and passwords are lower case letters without the quotes).  Use your browser's "Back" button to return here.

WBPS In Action

The following shows how WBPS can be used to create a secure site like the Demonstration site.

When you run the WebBuild Password Security program, you first see a login screen:

              

(The password required here is one of several  measures to ensure that your data is secure on your PC).

Once you login, you specify the "Application" and "Password Set" that you will be working on. An "Application" is a web site or a WebBuild Express application. A "Password Set" is a collection of user names and passwords that will be used for a single security purpose on the site (as, for example, Employees, Members, Subscribers).

(You can use WBPS to create password security for more than one password set per site, which is useful if you want to have separate secure areas for Affiliates, Customers, Agents, and other groups of people. You can also use WBPS to create Password Security for multiple sites).

  

If you click on the down arrow () at the right of the "Application" field, you can view a list of all WebBuild Express applications currently on your machine.

    

If you don't use WebBuild Express or want to use WBPS to create password security for a non-WebBuild site, you can simply type in the site name in the "Application" field.

Once you click the "Next" button, you are asked to enter the name of the Password Set you will be working on:

  

If you have already created password sets for this Application, you can select them by using the down arrow () at the right of the "Password Set" field:

  

When you have specified an Application and Password Set, the program will present you with a screen where you can view existing user names and passwords and insert new ones:
