web page acess code

[givingtnt]

so I am making a website for my local air cadet squadron : cadets710.16mb.com
and id like to create a separate serie of pages on the website that requires a passcode to acess (for staff and officers...) anyone knows how to do that ? (just a simple page that you enter code to gain acess. no username login or anything)

If you use something like Wordpress or other CMS, they have built in functionality to lock pages.

It looks like this requires you to put the password in the source code. Also it seems that this doesn't prevent someone simply navingating to the page in question.

OP, I don't know how to do this securely, but I have been advised not to use JavaScript by a friend who works with online security. Sorry I can't help more, I just wouldn't suggest you use this method.

Aside from a database and Username and password, you are correct, this is probably a very insecure way of doing this.

 

This however is probably one of the simplest. And will keep out most users. 

 

You may look to see if your host has built in password protecting tools. This may be under their online file manager, or may be an installer. These would make use of more complicated code that would be more secure (without making it terribly difficult for you).

well actually this is only to prevent kids from fooling around on a separate text modifiable zone where we put important messages and info about certain cadets. im pretty sure none of them even knows what a source code is thanks for the help !

If it's really not that important than a simple low security measure is fine. Something server side through a language like PHP, Ruby, ASP.NET would be better than javascript though. A simple login with a session and some redirects on each secure page is probably good enough. If you have some form of message board than I'd imagine you'll have some form of server side programming anyway so it's not much to add.

 

Being something you implement yourself, it'll probably be vulnerable in some ways, but like you said, that's not a big deal in this case.
