We have a directory that needs minimal password protection . I realize that htaccess is the very best security, however I don't even want people to have to remember a username -- a single common password for everyone would be fine.
I searched through many tutorials this afternoon looking for a simple "pass_word_only.pl" type of script that would allow me to accomplish this, but had no luck, thus my posting here.
I was hoping I could find something that would allow me to define the common password in the code, upload to the specified folder, chmod to 755, then add "require pass_word_only.pl" to the top of any scripts I wanted to protect within the directory.
The idea here is when the script was called that had the "require passwordonly.pl" line, a password box would launch, and the user would not be able to proceed until they either put in the correct pw or closed the box.
Is something like that even possible? (I'm the first to admit my lack of understanding ;-} ). If so and if anyone is aware of where this kind of code can be found, I'd be grateful. Thanks....
