This integrates a htaccess password popup with your board. Members will be able to enter their login/password for the board into the htaccess to gain access. When their password is changed on the board, their htaccess password will automatically be changed as well. You can turn it on or off from the cp, as well as enable/disable a registration login/pass so people can register. This is beta because I am not sure i have pinned down all the places/ways a member's password can be changed. http://www.jordodesigns.com/UBBhtaccess.zip

change .htpasswd to htpasswd.cgi for security. most of the servers will give this file unless it is protected. if you name it .cgi, most of the servers will generate an error message... .htaccess is a standard name but htpasswd not. the password file's name can be anything. Also, you can write

It requests the username + password to access the CGI-BIN dir, which includes ultimatebb.cgi and cp.cgi.
Nice hack, too bad I have a WinNT server.

jeologic - can you crack that encryption?  SubZero5 - what type of server are you using? also, make sure that the path you have set in your board configuration is the absolute path, not a relative path. on some servers you can run a ubb using a relative path in there, but this hack will not work if you have a relative path in your config.

Jordo please check that http://www.webextractions.f2s.com/cgi-bin/makepass/password.cgi and tell me what you think, is the same system that you use ? (the script can be downloaded)

crypt() is a one way system for now. but you can not guarantee the future  secure your system and you'll not have a headache...

crypt() has been in use in Unix systems for decades.
It's secure.

the password file wasn't found it said. in the server logs...
and at hypermart 's server.. i couldn 't login..

found a bug.. found a bug.. if the $vars_config{BBName} sontains spaces, the .htaccess file doesn't work. gives a http 500 error (o similar thing like that..) this is what apache gives me via its logs..: quote:
.htaccess: AuthName takes one argument, The authentication realm (e.g. "Members Only")
-=> to fix this
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* open cp_lib.cgi and find..:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
$handle->print("AuthName $vars_config{BBName}n");
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* replace it with..:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
$handle->print("AuthName "$vars_config{BBName}"n");

hmm i had fixed that one in the instructions, just hadnt put them back in the zip, doh. fixed in the zip now.
on your hypermart server you will need the absolute path set in your bb config, if you are getting failed pass msgs then you have a relative path set.

that is not normal. clicking cancel or entering an incorrect pass 3 times should direct you to an access denied page. it sounds like your server is setup incorrectly, so i would suggest contacting your hosting company if you are on a hosted solution.

this hack works on apache only (though there may be additions to other servers to add htaccess). that said im not sure how well htaccess works on win32 apache, but it doesnt work on IIS or any other servers than apache.

Variables - if you have a vars_htaccess.cgi in that dir make sure it is chmodded correctly (777) if not upload a blank file and chmod it.

on hypermart you need the real absolute path, some things like ubb will run with the relative paths, but the full path is something like /data1/hypermart.net/yourusername/

spaces in names are fine. im not sure what you mean by the second question... do you mean have the htaccess log them into the board as well? if that is what you mean, then no, it cant work like that.

dear jordo,
i am unable to download your file ubbhtaccess.zip. do you have another url/ftp address?
also, my website requires the user to enter FIRST a member only area by entering their password into the popup controlled by htaccess, then enter the UBB SECOND. so i need the UBB login to accept the password from htaccess, not htaccess to accept the UBB login. will your proggy do this?
many thanks for help!

Let me put a bit of a spin on this hack and ask this question: Can this hack be used to control access to HTML pages =other= than UBB? For example, my board is open for general viewing. I want to create pages for graphics tutorials for my members only. Can I use the hack to allow access to these pages for members only? What I ultimately want is for the member to type in their UBB L/P into the htaccess popup and then be directed to the appropriate tutorial page. (which would not even be a part of UBB)

this puts a .htaccess file in the non-cgi directory, so any files in that directory will be protected by the htaccess password popup. that includes any html pages in that dir.
