Microsoft FrontPage: How To Recreate The Word List For A Broken Search Bot

Protecting subwebs with passwords

If the Web server is IIS (Internet Information Services. Microsoft Web server software that uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol to deliver World Wide Web documents. IIS incorporates various functions for security, allows for CGI programs, and also provides for FTP servers.) running on Microsoft Windows, users and groups are set up and maintained in Windows, and cannot be created in FrontPage. You select the users and groups for your web sites from these Windows accounts. Access to web sites is then determined by the user\'s logon account (user name and password).

NOTE: Because FrontPage security is based on Access Control Lists (ACLs), in order to enforce security; your web sites must be hosted on an NTFS partition rather than a FAT partition.

First you need to open up the website live on the server.

• Open up FrontPage close down any webs you have open

• On the Menu bar, go to File | Open | and click \'Web Folders\' on the left hand menu

• Insert the url of the site you wish to open (e.g. http://www.accessfp.net/)

• Click ok

• A box will appear asking for your username and password. Insert these and press ok.

• In FrontPage, click on the navigation view so you know when the site will come in.

Now,

• On the menu bar, go to Tools | Server | Administration Home

• Insert user name and password

NOTE: If for some reason you cannot open the Administration pages from within FrontPage, paste the following link into the browser - Change yoursite.com for the address of your own site.
http://yoursite.com/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll?page=webadmin.htm

Using the Site Administration pages you can:

• Create or delete subwebs

• Merge subwebs

• Change the name or description of a subweb

• Recalculate the links for a web or subweb

• Specify unique permissions for the subweb or use the user accounts and roles of the parent Web

NOTE: Some site administration options are not available from within a subweb, including:

• Usage analysis

• Some server health settings

• Also, if a subweb is set up to use the parent Web site\'s account and roles, options for managing accounts and roles do not appear.

To configure any of the above options, you must use the site administration pages from the root-level Web site of the server or virtual server. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.

• On the Site Administration page, under Subwebs, click the name of your subweb to view the Site Administration page for the subweb or make a subweb

• Under \'Users and Roles\' click \'Change subweb permissions\'

• Your subweb can either use the same permissions as the parent web, or use unique permissions. If you select \'Use unique permissions for this web\', you must also specify an administrator user name for the new subweb in the Administrator box

• Press submit

• When the page has been processed and refreshed click the Administration link at the top of the page.

NOTE: If you enable unique permissions, a copy of the parent Web\'s user accounts and roles remain with the subweb. You can then delete any accounts and roles that you don\'t want and add new ones as needed. The subweb will also retain the same user role setting for anonymous (guest) users as the parent Web unless you specify a different role.

The options will have been changed under the \'Users and Roles\' Section.

• Click \'Manage Users\'

• Click the \'Add User\' button and insert a name and a description for the role in the fields provided

• Select the check boxes next to the access rights that you would like allow for the users who will be assigned this role

• Click \'Create role\'.

• If you want more users add as above.

NOTE: If your site has user account limits, and you want to delete the user account rather than just remove the user from all roles, you can use the \'Manage Virtual Server Accounts\' page in the Site Administration pages for the virtual server.

• Next click the Administration link at the top of the page.

• Press \'Manage users\'

  • NOTE: If there is a user named \'Everyone\', delete this user. This is created by default and must NOT be used

• Next click the Administration link at the top of the page

• Click \'Change anonymous access

• Select \'off\' for Anonymous access and press the submit button

Close FrontPage and any Administration pages, then test your new password protected page. If you have done everything correctly you will be prompted for a User name and Password (which will be the same one you use to open the site live and to publish)

NOTE: You must shut down FrontPage and any Administration pages before testing as you will be still logged in to your site and the password box will not appear.
