Access Control Methods

There are several different ways to control access to your Web pages:

Password Protection by UW NetID
Control access to your Web pages by UW NetIDs.

Basic Password Protection
Control access to your Web pages using a single name and password that you create, distribute, and maintain.

Basic Group Password Protection
Control access to your Web pages by defining and maintaining a separate group of names and passwords, all of your own choosing.

Controlling Access by Internet Address
Specify which computers can or cannot access your Web pages.

Encrypted (SSL) Connections

Encrypted connections help protect information in transit over the Internet. They do not help you control who can access your Web pages as much as how. If you are controlling access to your pages, you can use SSL to make passwords and other information more difficult for others to steal.
