      i have one site running strongbox and the rest of the server runing proxxypass, the proxxy pass is one install and protects all your sites and does a damm good job, and SB is an install per site and never had a problem with either of them. just depends on which one you want to use. PP doesnt change the htaccess like SB does it just watches whos logging in

        I had no problems with I-Protect. Don't know anything about Strongbox...but I will say that Proxypass just didn't do the job.......

          Since I have proxypass, I dont have to care about members area protection. Thats it, no issues, no stress.

            Been using Strongboxxx on multiple sites for awile. Love it and Ray is on top of his game. Always responds to emails. Never used Proxy pass.

              We use both but use Proxypass on a very large load balance set up and it works faultlessly.

                  Have used both. Find strongboxxx to be better at doing it's job. RAY is great to work with once you get a hold of him. I have had my past issues with AWW and I even brought the idea of them intergrating SB with it years ago, looks like they did from some of the threads I have seen. On that note, I wouldn't mind seeing Strongbox intregrated with MAS and have Mansion support, THAT WOULD ROCK!. Anyway,. Proxypass, just didn't seem to do the job plus there was that monthly fee. Stongbox, was a one time buy. The interface for strongbox is simple, easy to use, but I find I rairly if ever need to even use it, I just let the program do it's job. It's been working for 2.5 years on the site and only issues I have ever had where due to moving a server, but was taken care of by Ray.

                        looks like proxypass wins for the better customer service

                          yeah, because that is the most important thing when your site gets passwd hacked

                          in all honesty, I have had a bitch of time this past week getting strongboxxx installed...I personally think that Ray handing over installs and support to adultwebware was the worst move anyone could have possibly made

                          I for sure will NEVER recommend anything adultwebware, and I am so mad about how they handle shit that if I ever see a thread with their name in it I will not hesitate to tell that person to stay away from them

                          As far as Ray goes, he emailed me back and is investigating what is going on at AWW and why my install got so fucked up for strongboxxx

                          If it doesn't go as planned tomorrow, and if the install is not done correctly, I will be asking for a refeund or charging back....and the nice fellows at toomuch media have invited me to load up their new system, Sparta...which my sys admin has installed and says it is the best protection script he has ever seen

                            in fact, this whole week has left such a bad taste in my mouth that the more I think about it the more I am probably just going to tell AWW to eat my nutsack, and go with Sparta

                              I don't think a members area protection script would have anything to do with a content management system

                              i have sitedepth, and it has not even come up how they work together...they are two seperate things

                                            I have used Strongbox, Password Sentry, and Proxy Pass. Out of the 3, I like Password Sentry much better and the support is awesome.

                                                    I have a dozen or so strongbox installations, and I had severe problems with sitedepth and strongbox compability in the beginning, I had it fixed by them..and I assume now all SD/stongbox installations should be compatible.
                                                    ..and I'm off.

                                                        I use Strongbox for a period of time. It's quite strong and very easy to use. In some cases Ray could help to conect with end users and solve their problems directly. I think the service is very good.

                                                                          but not so important to most, like the "secure handoff" or "single sign on" system,
                                                                          as well as supporting a wider range of password list formats. If you want those

Put it this way the money you pay for Proxy Pass you make back double due to you having so much more time on your hands!
