installed on the same server as AShop and the path to Password Robot is set within the third party

software integration, each subscription can instead be managed after the initial order by using the more

advanced features of Password Robot.

How AShop V Integrates To Password Robot

Password Robot is a Perl CGI program that lets you easily manage access to an unlimited number of

password protected directories. It automatically deactivates expired accounts, disables abused

accounts, sends personalized HTML e-mail, and stores its data in a MySQL database. Its capacity is

virtually unlimited-- Your site will never outgrow it. It can easily manage thousands of accounts without

slowing down your site, and you can export your data directly from Password Robot's admin area.

Finally, your data is more secure simply due to the fact that it's not stored in text files.

Just like with ordinary subscriptions you should enter the name of the protected directory in the box

labeled: Protected directory. If a directory with this name exists within the path that is set for Password

Robot on the third party tools page, it will be used when a subscription is bought.

The receipt email will contain a link to the URL that you specify yourself for your subscription product in

AShop. You should enter the complete address to the protected part of your site in the box labeled

"Protected URL" when you create/edit your subscription product. If you want it to be the sign-in page

you can simply enter the URL to that page. The box labeled "Protected directory" must contain the

name of your Password Robot group though. If it is incorrect or misspelled the automatic registration

won't work and the username and password can't be used.

To use the Password Robot integration

1. Set up the protected directory in Password Robot

2. Set the path to the cgi-bin directory (not the protected directory itself) where the Password Robot

scripts are stored as the $passwordrobotpath variable in the AShop Shop Parameters > Advanced

Options

Example: /home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/subdirectory or /home/httpd/vhosts/

yourdomain.com/cgi-bin

3. Add a subscription in the AShop catalog and enter the name of the protected directory.

2.26.8 Secure eBook

Secure eBook: http://www.secure-ebook.com, is a service that makes it possible to protect a PDF file

at a very low cost, compared to more advanced server based DRM systems. It works by packaging the

PDF in an executable EXE file which can only be fully read if you have activated it through Secure

eBook. The author can allow anyone to read a sample set of pages from the eBook for free, which

means that the eBook itself can serve as a promotional tool.

AShop integrates with Secure eBook by automatically delivering the activation code to your customers

after they have bought your eBook. You can put the eBook file itself in your AShop as a preview/demo

file for your product and the Secure eBook packager (a software you get after signing up for an account

at secure-ebook.com) will even let you link to your AShop from within the eBook to make it possible to

buy the activation code from the eBook itself.

To use the Secure eBook integration you will first of all need to sign up for an account at http://www.

secure-ebook.com This is free but to use the service you will need to subscribe to Secure eBook

tokens. One token is used each time an activation code is generated and sent to one of your customers.

There are several different subscription plans available to make sure you don't need to buy more tokens
