HelmTastic Partners with URL Protector

IIS Users now have advanced folder protection options available without complicated NT permission settings.

(PRWEB) April 23, 2004 -- For a long time Windows web hosts have struggled to provide directory protection to their users that is functional, easy to use but also caters for advanced users. Users moving from Apache and Unix backgrounds have difficulty moving their sites to NT based permissions and this can result in lost sales.

URL Protector from IT Web Solutions takes care of that. Using htaccess files in the same way as used on Apache and Unix platforms it provides an instantly recognizable way of protecting directories on a Windows platform.

Users who need simple password protection can do so by the use of text files within the directory. These can be managed via FTP, scripts or even via the integration provided with Helm (WebHost Automation's Windows-based Control Panel).

To cater for more advanced users, URL Protector can also provide authentication against databases such as MSSQL, Access, LDAP or ADSI. MD5 passwords are supported, as is cookie authentication.

HelmTastic is pleased to announce its partnership with URL Protector. Through this partnership HelmTastic is able to add URL Protector to its product catalogue at a discounted price and continue to provide value for money software to web hosts.
