Password Protect Feature to Entire Website.
This document provides a step-by-step guide on creating an independent extension of password protection feature for the entire website ensures a comprehensive security measure. This functionality requires users to enter a password before gaining access to any part of the website, adding a robust layer of protection to the entire online platform.
Working of Extension
Implementing a password protection feature for an entire website can be achieved using a default password. However, in scenarios where a website comprises multiple domains, a specialized extension becomes valuable.
This extension enables password protection specifically for individual domains within the same website. When a user visits the site, they are directed straight to the login page.
Any attempt to interact with the website without logging in automatically triggers a redirection to the login page. This redirection feature serves as the primary functionality of the extension.

Code :
define(
'JJ.PasswordProtectFeature.PasswordProtectFeature'
, [
'Profile.Model'
]
, function (
ProfileModel
) {
'use strict';
return {
mountToApp: function mountToApp(container) {
container.on('afterStart', function () {
var profile = ProfileModel.ProfileModel ? ProfileModel.ProfileModel.getInstance() : ProfileModel.getInstance();
var islogged = profile.attributes.isLoggedIn;
if (islogged == 'F') {
var currenturl = window.location.href;
var currentPage = currenturl.split('/').pop(-1);
currentPage = currentPage.split('.');
var flag = true;
if (currentPage[0] != 'newlogin' && currentPage[0] != 'checkout') {
flag = false;
}
if (!flag) {
var newLandingPageUrl = SC.ENVIRONMENT.siteSettings.touchpoints.register;
Backbone.history.location.href = newLandingPageUrl;
}
}
});
}
};
});

By password protecting specific domains, the extension adds an extra layer of security to sensitive or private sections of the website.

Selective Domain Protection:
The extension allows administrators to choose which domains within a multi-domain website require password protection, providing flexibility in securing only specific sections.
User Authentication:
Users are required to log in before accessing any content or functionality on the protected domains, ensuring that only authorized individuals can interact with sensitive information.
Seamless Integration:
The extension seamlessly integrates with the website, automatically redirecting users to the login page without disrupting the overall user experience.
User-Friendly Experience:
With the automatic redirection feature, users are guided to the login page effortlessly, reducing confusion and ensuring a smooth experience even for those unfamiliar with password protection.
Customization Options:
Depending on the extension’s features, administrators may have options to customize the login page, password requirements, and other security settings, tailoring the protection to the specific needs of the website.
Compatibility with Multi-Domain Structures:
Specifically designed for multi-domain websites, the extension ensures compatibility with diverse domain configurations, making it a suitable security solution for complex web architectures.
By providing these benefits, the extension contributes to a more secure and controlled online environment, safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring that only authorized users can access designated portions of the website.
