Creating Password Protected Directories

This article applies on to our legacy Minimus, Medius, and Maximus plans only (it does not apply to Mega, Giga, Tera, or Wordpress plans).

If you have a particular area of your website that you only wish for certain people to view via the use of a username and password, then you can setup a Password Protected Directory:

>> Log into cp.blacknight.com
>> Now click Websites at the top of the screen
>> Now click on the domain
>> Now click on Protected Directories
>> Now click Add New Protected Directory
>> In the Directory Name field input the path to the folder to which you wish to protect
>> Now in the Directory header field just input whatever you want to call this particular password protected instance
>> Now click Submit
>> Now click on the name of the protected directory
>> Now click the Users tab
>> Click Add New User
>> Input the login details and then click Submit
