Stupid job wants me to password protect a website

[GermyBoy]

Yeah...I know how to do that, especially after having never done any web development before. This is so annoying.

Just because I used to work with the computing center helping people set up their internet and stuff like that, I'm suddenly this html guru. I told them I don't know how to do it, and they said, "Great, I can expect something good from you in a few days then." I was very mad and doubt I'll try it.

There's plenty of free code out there - Google, copy, paste.

Thanks. I didn't even know where to start. I looked up some but they were all javascript, and the password was written plaintext in the source...Real secure.

Stop bitching and do it. God forbid you learn something new!

Just treat me to lunch and I will have your code ready while we eat our lunch.

It's about the same on all webservers if you just want to use system security.

Sell first, deliver later (aka Vaporware). That's how you get ahead in this world. Don't ever forget it. But it just sounds like you don't WANT to do it either way...

Man, Google is at your beck and call and you're complaining?

If you're running Apache, it's just a simple 3-minute file that is one of the easiest things you can do with a web server. Search around for information on .htaccess (the dot's there for a reason). Any script-based password protection (PHP, Javascript, etc.) is going to come back around to you when you find that it's not as secure as you think it is. Use what your web server gave to you.

Either way, this is a Server setting, not a Web Page setting....
