Protect Before Launch

Protected your website before launch with HTTP basic authentication.
The module allows you to set a username and password and enable and
disable them on the fly.

Settings

The module allows you to set the following options for authentication.

• Realm
• Denied Content
• Username
• Password
• Exclude paths
• System variable
• System Variable value
• Identity provider

Auto enable with System variable

Set the enabled mode to Enviriomental key/value.
When this mode is set the module will look for the variable and
when this is set it will enable the password protection.

When also the System Variable value is set the the module will check
if the value in the variable is set correctly before enabling.

Acquia hosting

Default value is set to "AH_NON_PRODUCTION" to work correctly with
Acquia Hosting out of the box. Just select set an username and
password and set protection mode to "env_enabled". All none
production servers will be password protected.

Identity provider

The module allows you to use the drupal user database to authenticate
against or the simple username and password set directly into the
module. This username and password is independent from the Drupal
user database.

Exclude paths

The exclude paths option allows you to set urls or patterns (preg_match).
When the url matches an exclude path for that path no passwords will be
requested.

Default username/passsword

password: password
