I got the Login Builder to work. However, I can go straight to a URL. I want the pages to be password protected. How do I make all of the pages in a subdirectory require a user to login via the login.asp page?

I placed the login.asp page inside of the subdirectory. Is that correct?

I have obviously missed something. :(

A directory is not used for this. You can assign the security level to each page using the "Restricted" property of the page.

Thanks. The "Restricted" property setting only seems to be available for pages that I create in CCS. Can you tell me exactly what code I need to copy out of a page with the Restricted property set to YES, so that pages I create in other programs will be restricted also?

I have it working now, but I think I copied more code than needed.

I think I need the common.asp include. What else do I need?

Can the pages that I insert this code into have an HTML extension? I'm doing an ASP project. Do the pages have to have an ASP extension?

You cannot protect HTML pages this way, only ASP, but you can use a different method for protecting HTML pages. Generally you have at least couple choices:
- use IIS security for securing your folders. I don't know exact steps but you can probably find some tips on the net: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=securing+iis+folder+login

- use CCS security for securing ASP pages. I haven't used it with external pages, but you should ony need couple lines of code:
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/Common.asp"-->  
CCSecurityRedirect "2", Empty
The above 2nd line is just an example that I took from some generated page. Just search for "CCSecurityRedirect: within your generated page to find out the syntax for your security groups.
