Description of my issue:

Hi Nicholas

Our project requires the whole site to be password protected. I want to do this using htaccess but I can't figure our how to set it up using the htaccess maker in Admin Tools.

Could you please give me a hint or make a suggestion for a better solution?

OK, I understand I will have to add some information here:

We want all visitors to have to use a main login to get access to the site at all (or the functions inside the site like the online store there. The problem is that if I password protect the whole directory (which works fine), I also password protect my tunnel file for Navicat in the www directory which we have to use to get easy access to the database. So we need to find another solution which gives us access to the tunnel file in the main directory but still forces every visitor to log in to the site before they can start using it.

I hope that helps in understanding my needs and if it is possible to set that up with the htaccess maker.

Best Regards
Johan Niklasson

Dear Nicholas

I just added some more information in the original post - I am copying it here:

"We want all visitors to have to use a main login to get access to the site at all (or the functions inside the site like the online store there.

Dear Nicholas

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have solved it this way: I keep the directory password protection for our www directory and instead of using the HTML tunnel for Navicat we have set up a SSH connection instead. More secure and it keeps the wanted workflow intact.
