Frontpage and Dreamweaver users must use encryption

In order to ensure document confidentiality and protect users from the possible theft of their passwords, all web authoring actions will be required to use encryption as of 15 February 2006.

Most Frontpage and Dreamweaver users will have to slightly change the way they connect to their web sites in order to enable encryption. Please note that only the initial connection to the web site from Frontpage or Dreamweaver is affected: there is no change in the use of these applications after the initial connection, and the web site itself is not affected.

Further details, as well as instructions on how to enable encryption, are available at: http://cern.ch/web/docs/AuthDoc/SecureAuthoring. In case of problems, please contact the computer helpdesk or web.support@cern.ch.
