Password protected directories on Windows Shared hosting.

To create a password protected directory on Windows shared hosting, you will need to create a web user. You can do this in your cp.blacknight.com control panel under:

Websites >> Domain name >> Web Users >> Add User

If you remove the Web user/password protected directory, there is an additional step when you remove the web user from the domain; this will ensure you are not prompted to enter a username & password when viewing the site in your web browser.

You delete the web user under: Websites tab >> domain name >> Web users >> Tick the web user >> Delete

This will remove the web user. To fully remove the password protected directory, you will need to re-enable anonymous access.

You can do this under: Websites tab >> Domain name >> More Tools >> Security >> Edit >> Tick Anonymous access >> Submit
