It's been a long time since I used Abyss, so I've forgotten some things. I have a website with only 12 pages (index page and 11 sub pages). I set up a single user name/password that works okay with the index page. When they type in my IP address, they are asked for a name/password. But anyone can get by the index page by typing the IP plus the page name: Example - http://xxx.xxx.xxx/page2.htm
How do I set up a user/password that protects all 12 pages and not just the index page?

darkrats,

The virtual path to which the access protection rule will be applied needs to be / instead of a single file name such as /index.html.

/ means all the Web site.

I did that and it didn't work. Then I read your reply and tried it again, and it worked. Magic, I guess!

It looked as if it didn't work because your browser may have served the files directly from its cache without contacting the server.

Usually after such changes, it is recommended to force a full refresh of the pages (using SHIFT+F5 or SHIFT+CTRL+R instead of F5 or CTRL+R for a normal refresh.) A full refresh will force the browser to contact the server for the page and all its dependencies and not rely on its cache.
