18 Jul 10 How do I Password-protect my Website Statistics?
Gossimer provides you the ability to password protect your Web traffic statistics to ensure that only authorized people have access to this data.
Enabling Password Protection
- Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package. Click here to read how >>
- In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
- Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.
- In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, go to Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Password Protect.
- In the Enable Password Protection dropdown, set the option to Yes.
- Provide the Username and Password, and click on Submit.
This would ensure that every request for access to the Web Statistics report would be prompted for the Username/Password.
IMPORTANTIn case of Windows hosting, Password Protection can be enabled by setting the Protect Webstats option to Yes in the Modify Web Stats Options page, which can be accessed through the Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Settings menu. The Primary FTP user login/password needs to be used for accessing the web statistics.
Modifying access details for Web Statistics:
- Perform steps 1-4 mentioned in the above process.
- Modify the Username and/or Password, and click on Submit.
The new username/password now needs to be used while accessing Web Statistics.
IMPORTANTIn case of Windows hosting, password for accessing web statistics can be modified by changing the password of the Primary FTP user. The username cannot be modified since it is not possible to modify the username of the Primary FTP user.
Disabling Password Protection:
- Perform steps 1-4 mentioned in the above (enabling password protection) process.
- In the Enable Password Protection dropdown, set the option to No.
- Click on Submit button.
IMPORTANTIn case of Windows hosting, Password Protection can be disabled by setting the Protect Webstats option to No in the Modify Web Stats Options page, which can be accessed through the Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Settings menu.
In order to complete the action in case of Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, each one of the above mentioned actions might take upto 20 minutes for completion.
