Okay, I have the hack installed and it seems to be working. However, I did have to manually create the vars_htaccess.cgi file to get it to work. You may want to consider adding that to your instructions. So, with that said, here's what I am ultimately trying to do. I do not want the CGI-BIN or UBB directories protected. I want to see if I can protect another directory on my site using the UBB membership database. I want to create separate tutorial and file download pages for members only. Got any ideas? Where might I edit the hack to point the protection at a different directory?

thanks in advance!

in the additions made to cp_lib.cgi you will find this:

[/code]replace it with this (and change the "/path/to/protected/dir" to the dir you want to protect:

Jordo, laugh This is a beautiful, beautiful thing!!!

I've been using a really old htaccess hack that was starting to fall apart.
I've been afraid to upgrade my board because upgrading to 6.0 almost made my brain explode.

There are many people looking for a way to use the ubb registration info to protect their site and this hack does exactly that. I added an htgroup file and a few other htaccess files that all point to htpasswd and so far so great!

Out of curiosity, do you have any hints on how to make htaccess check the ubb cookie?

Have I mentioned how great this is?
thank you,

I would love to be able to check to see if a cookie exists and if it doesn't, send users to a page with a registration link and an "I forgot my password" link (because if it's not saved they won't remember it wink )

If the cookie does exist I need to pull out the username/password so htaccess can determine what group a user is in.

My problem seems to be not so much reading ubb cookies as passing that info to htaccess.
