Hi,

I'm running a simple small website on Drupal 6. I would like to create a single node (an employees only page, with special contact info etc) that is password protected. If this were a static (non CMS site), the simplest way to do this would be to put the page in a separate directory and use an .htaccess file.

How would I do the same thing here?

... or should I:

1) create a user account for all employees
2) redirect them to the employee node when they log in

Thanks,
Ben

create a role for employees

then investigate the nodeaccess.module for node level access.

may also want to investigate the organic groups.module where by you can create a group for employees.

There are a couple of simpler solutions:

Protected Node is probably the easiest:

"With protected node module the users can restrict the access to a node accessible only with a password they provided when the node was created. On node creation you can set a node protected, supply a password and verify strength of the password(via JavaScript)."

Simple Access is similar to Node Access, but simpler:

"This module allows administrators to make some nodes private and/or editable by certain user roles."

Watch out when you use different access modules. More than one access control module screw up the site.
Protected node sound interesting.
