Password Acces Pages and Mac OS X

I want to create a section of my website using a single password and user name for multiple users.
I have Studio MX 2004 running on a Mac OS X, do I need to create a database?

For just a single password, you can probably do the whole thing without a
database, by hard-coding the username and password.

OTOH, you probably don't need to do anything, other than check out the
control panel, supplied you by your ISP, since most ISP's provide directory
level password functionality, via the control panel.

Have a look at www.hotscripts.com

What platform/server is this site hosted with?
And what serverside scripting can you use?

First thing is to check your "hosting control panel" if it has one. and/or
check the host's FAQ or Support section.

If it's an Apache server, AND you can use PHP scripting, the simple script
below will give you a password protected Admin page where you can
create/edit/delete Users. It creates the .htaccess and .htpasswd files that
do the protection. You don't have to "do" anything to the pages, anything
put inside of the protected folder can only be reached by people with a
correct username/password.

just edit the script to change the default admin username/password.
Upload it into the folder you want protected.
chmod that directory to 777 (so it can create the files)
{search on the MM exchange for "set permissions" extension for dw}

Also, a less secure way of doing it (if security isn't a big factor) is
using a javascript script. It's simple to find them online (Google or check
www.hotscripts.com) for password and find one you like.
