Author subfolder password requied for whole web

I have a folder on a web that I have protected by requiring the entry of a username and password.

This works fine.


BUT, after entering such and displaying pages in the protected folder, ALL of the other pages not in the folder display the login
dialog. And consequently the other pages are not displayable.


Guidance please.

Having logged in with your special account, the user is continuing to use
those authorization details for all other access. Is it asingle 'guest'
account? If so (and this might not be the best way) you could give access
rights to that account to all other folders on your site.

Best wishes

Ian
