In some situations you might want to create a section directly containing web pages that only certain people get to see. Users would be required to specify a password and user name that you defined for that area of the web page. First create a .htpassword file using the htpassword command with all the logins you plan to use for your web page. The argument username should be replaced by the user name that you want users to login.

Password protection is done through HTTP authentication. The configuration details vary from server to server, so you should read the authentication section of your server documentation. Contact your server administrator if you need help with this. See similar questions...

Create the standard plaintext file called .htaccess in the directory that you want to password protect.

To direct students to your eGradebook(s), simply send them to the main eGradebook page: http://www.d.umn.edu/egradebook which you can make a link on your webpage.
