I have a PowerPoint 2007 presentation that is available for viewing over the Web. It is the only thing you see when you go to the Web site. I would like to password protect the presentation so that an individal would immediately be greeted with a login process before viewing the presentation.

I would appreciate any pointers on how to do this.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

With whom you have the web hosted ? Then it should be automatically password
protected

Thanks

You can password protect the PPT itself, but that has some drawbacks and doesn't really
produce a logon prompt as such.

It might be simpler to password protect the directory where the presentation's stored.
You could have different passwords for different users that way also.

If you're on an Apache web server, look up .htaccess or ask your web admin about password
protecting directories. Haven't a clue how it's done on other servers, I'm afraid.
 
Hi Steve,

I agree with others, plus will add a bit more.

1. You can password protect your presentation, which will work if users know
what the password is.

2. You can send your users to a hosting page with login. When they get past
that then allow them to go to the actual presentation.

3. You can do the same login page and try html as the resultant page.
However, html does not offer the level of security or animation fidelity you
need.
