Access Pages Manager - html vs. php

I thought that SecurityAssist allowed you to restrict access to folders within your website, but when I attempted this - it seems to only allow restriction to .php files. I have a folder with a TON of .html files. Do I have to convert all of these to .php in order for them to be password protected?

Thanks,
Carie

Yes, page access is done through adding server side code to the page, the server side code cannot be added to static html pages.

Thanks! Just discovered that the software I use to generate the pages that I want protected allows me to choose the file extension. Just have to change it from .html to .php!
