Protect a page with

GateKeeper II.

The first thing that I would like to say about this version of GateKeeper is that it is different than the previous one. That's why we called it GateKeeperII. Although the name of the files that are used is the same, the content of the files ( gatemain.htm, gatehelp.htm, etc.)  and the script on the link page are different from the previous version, and they cannot be mixed with the files from the previous version. You MUST treat this as a totally different script.

To make GateKeeper look even more like the access system found on most computers, it is extended so you now must enter both a username and a password. Here on the left is a link to an example. 

Possible Username / Password combinations are: bigjoe / frumpy, en littlejohn / fino.

All files for the example above are available as a selfextracting archive via the link here on the left.

For those who are interested, the operation of GateKeeperII is basically the same as the previous version, exept... it does not look for password.htm, but for username/password.htm. So it looks for the file password.htm (whatever is entered in the password field, with .htm appended to it) in the folder username (whatever is enterd in the username field).

This script can be adapted in the same way as the previous version of  GateKeeper. In the first part of the file gatemain.htm you can adjust the same four variables ( storedays, webmasterEmail, defaulttimer, and redirectpage ) and in the first part of the intermediate page ( in the example these are bigjoe/frumpy.htm, en littlejohn/fino.htm) you must change the variable target to hold the URL of the target page.

And again with this version of GateKeeper, in every folder there has to be an (empty) page called index.htm to avoid that the visitor simply browses the folder.
