.htaccess
This member's area is protected by .htaccess.  .htaccess is an authentication system developed by Apache.  It's pretty much the most secure main-stream authentication method available on Unix web servers.  Infact, it's so secure it is pretty much impossible to 'hack' through.  Obviously, as with all security systems access is freely given to users with a valid username and password.

Locked Area Lite
As you are aware, Locked Area Lite is a freely distributed piece of internet software that is distributed by LockedArea.com.  Please maintain all link backs in the cgi scripts and help spread the word about Locked Area.  The more people who know about and use Locked Area, the better it will become as support builds.

Member's Area Utilities
There are a couple of utilities that come with Locked Area Lite for your member's area.  These are logger.cgi and userdetails.cgi.

logger.cgi is a simple little script that will display a Welcome [username] message when loaded into the member's area using SSI tags.  It also records details about the visitor to a log file.  This log file can be read in the administration panel.
To call logger.cgi into your member's area html please place the following tag anywhere in your member's area html.

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/logger.cgi"-->

userdetails.cgi is also very simple but quite a nice little utility to use.  It will simply display some information about the visitor in your html content.  To call userdetails.cgi into your member's area html  please place the following tag anywhere in your member's area html.

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/userdetails.cgi"-->

If you didn't install the scripts into your cgi-bin, just modify the path.  You must use a relative url.  e.g. /dir/dir/logger.cgi or /cgi-bin/logger.cgi, not a full path or url.  You may find that you need to use the extension .shtml to use SSI tags in your html.  If you're not sure, contact your system administrator or have a look at your web host's FAQ page, most good hosts have them.
