    Password protect entire umbraco test site

    Using Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    I need to password protect an Umbraco test site, i.e. restrict all access to the public_html folder. I have seen hints to do it with web.config but I wonder if I could do it from Umbraco Backoffice. I'm running Umbraco 7.2.1 at the moment.

    Thanks for any advice (also how to do it using web.config if it is not possible from the backoffice).

    / Martin

    Hi Martin,

    One way that I have seen it done, is by restrict the the website by an IP range on the IIS. So it only the whitelist IP´s that can get access to the website and Umbraco backoffice http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/324066

    Or here is a YouTube video that shows how it can be done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztRQ_JGrjKc

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Thanks for your advice Dennis, but my website host does not allow me to access such IIS settings. So I guess I have to work out a solution using web.config authentication.
