 Hello,
Admin Tools has a backend secure URL, which is great
Is that possible to create front end Secure URL.

as I'm building a site that I want it to be secure in the front end, only people with the link can access it. the site is not for public as I'm building a dabase with Fabrikar : http://fabrikar.com/
and I would like to keep it away from people.
So I set the rules: NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW to make sure my site is not indexing in Google.
Any other tips that you can help me so I can make sure my site is away from crazy people's eyes.

Thanks,

dlb
Admin Tools really doesn't have any features to keep people out of the front end. When I want to keep people - and search engines - out of a site, I use the password protect directory on the root folder of the site. Usually you can set that up through your host's control panel.

Hi Dale,

Thank you for the advise, yes I also going to have directory password. is that strong enough to keep people away?

Thanks,

That protection works at the server level. If you're trying to keep me out, it would be 100% effective, I don't know of any way around it. If you're trying to keep someone out who has the ability to sneak a keystroke recorder onto your local computer or sniff network packets and break https encryption or better yet, walk in the front door of your host's server farm and demand access, no, not so much.
