Can I Password Protect a Remote Front Panel using the G Web Server?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Internet Developers Toolkit
Primary Software Version: 6.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: 6.0
Secondary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Full Development System

Problem:
I would like to use the G Web Server from the Internet Toolkit to password protect a remote front panel created for the LabVIEW Web Server. Is this possible?

Solution:
Yes, you can secure remote front panels using the G Web Server.

1. Create a .htm file for the remote front panel using the Web Publishing Tool, found under the Tools menu. Save this .htm file in the LabVIEW\www directory. Note the Document URL.
   
2. Under Tools»Internet Toolkit»Configure G Web Server select Share LabVIEW Web Server Port. The default LabVIEW Web Server Port is port 80 and the default LabVIEW Web Server Document Root is LabVIEW\www.
   
3. Create the security files using KnowledgeBase 3FNERTVB: How to Setup Security for the G Server. These files will protect access to whatever directory they are in. If you do not want to password protect the entire www directory, you can create a new folder within it to hold the .htm and security files.

When you enter the Document URL you noted in a browser, you should be prompted to enter a user name and password. These will be as specified in the password file created in step 2.
