Oh thanks! Lol, I just glanced at the first link and didn't notice the information that I was looking for was right on top.
While we have your attention, my next Strongbox question is...
How can I customize the login and bad password page? They are too sterile and unfriendly, imo. By Luke's recommendation last year, I tried to do it in css but the results were not workable.
By default most of the appearance is controlled by strongbox.css, so indeed if you're
familiar with CSS you can edit that. Don't delete the stuff that doesn't apply to those
two pages, though, as the same CSS sets the appearance of the admin area as well.
sblogin/login.shtml and sblogin/badlogin.shtml are pretty much just standard HTML pages
that you can edit in any text editor. There is some JavaScript on each page, and a bit
of SSI, but nothing that affects the appearance. Some WYSIWYG programs designed
to help grandma with her quilting site have been known to mess up any kind of form,
and none them them generate reasonable HTML, so I've always suggested that professional
webmasters stay away from these kinds of programs entirely.
I guess "suggested" isn't really the right word - in 1997 I flew up to help a client set up a
live video system, the first with sound, we think, and I saw FrontPage on his desk,
box unopened. I walked over and threw it out the window.
