Password Protected Directories

Introduction - You can assign unique user id's and passwords to control access to various web pages. An example of this function is apparent when you access your own account through the Univox Control Center -- each time you are prompted for your id and password. The actual web pages are not password protected, but rather the directory in which they reside.

Example - A software developer is making several programs available via the web, but only those visitors which have paid for the service should be allowed access to the download page. To control access, the page is placed in a directory which is password protected. Instead of distributing a single password, unique user id's and passwords are assigned and removed as needed.

How to use:

  1. Go to http://controlcenter.univox.com/
  2. Log in using your user name and password.


  3. Once logged in, click the icon with the desired function.

Note: Look below for an explanation of each icon.
