Multiple Folder protection script! With complete Control on Your members access to your protected folders or downloads!

How cloacking works and why You need this?:

Example: You have a product like 'product1' folder. You will keep a form on your web site like 'yourdomain.com/thankyou/product1.html' for Member registrations. People redirected to this registration form after purchasing to register themselves.

People can pass on this URL to others, to register to your product and get access to your 'product1' folder. This is where the the script protects this 'product1.html' registration page.

The 'yourdomain.com/thankyou/product1.html' is generated like 'http://www.yourdomain/thankyou/product1/jENyXuHYjy8AsUho.html'. This will expire after certain period set by You. So nobody can pass on your registration forms or thankyou.html pages.

How link protection or URL ptotection works:

There are two basic ways of protection with iPassword Protection Pro:

1. .htaccess protection
2. (http load) hide url option with advanced URL protection options

1. .htaccess is one of protection options, it will work only if your webserver support it (it's apache server thing), and if used, browser will show popup authorization box any time user tries to access any file in protected directory. Then using this option you dont need to put login form anythere on your site, just direct link to prorected area. Please note, some real-time iPassword Protection Pro functions like login expiration and access logging will not work with .htaccess protection.

2. You can also use built-in iPassword Protection Pro hide URL protection. It means iPassword Protection Pro will hide real URL of protected area pages and no one will know how to access protected pages without loggin in. One of most secure ways to protect member's area URL is 'http load' hide URL option. It automatically involves advanced URL protection options which allow you to protect multiple pages in member's area. URL protection is activated automatically if you select 'http load' as hide URL option.

URL protection is working the following way:

When someone logins to protected area, iPassword Protection Pro script will load protected area entrance page, encode all links on this page and then show it to the visitor. Then visitor click on encoded link, iPassword Protection Pro will decode it, load required page, encode all links again and show it to visitor and so on until 'protection depth' setting is reached.

Example: Say You have to protect Your ebook downloads like http://www.yourdomain.com/members/ebooks/ebook.zip. All You have to do is set up the Page load(http) method in the script admin panel. When your members click on the link to download the ebook, the link in the address bar will be

'http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/ipppro/auth.cgi?action=browse&
acc=test&login=member&page=
1-1067361260-APB7upmMUkJLk-6f7b827f453b357d80792f6c707f7678

The direct URL of the download was hidden by the script and this URL no longer works after the time set by You.

You can protect all pages, downloads in your members area or You can specify which files you want to protect.

Protect URL path limit field can be used to protect only links on specific area to save your server resources. For example if you set it to 'http://yourserver.com/private/' iPassword Protection Pro will encode link to 'http://yourserver.com/private/page.html' and will not encode links to 'http://yourserver.com/index.html' or 'http://otherserver.com'.

Protecting specific files:

Protect file types can be used to protect links to specified file types, for example setting it to ".htm, html" will only protect these file types.
