A proper tutorial for password protect?
Hi pros,

I been searching out but then as I am a noob to this, I am unable to understand how to create a password custom page, the resource in here do not have sufficient tutorials on creating it.

Can anyone create a detail tutorial on Password Custom Page in ModernUI.nsi script or something which can be easily set just by changing the password filled in the example, so that when user starts to load the installer it will prompt for a correct password before proceeding

And More tutorials how you really configure the InstallOptions and .ini files to react with the password custom page.

thanks

Hi, Afrow UK

More questions regarding UserPass.nsi

How do I add more username and password ?

Which files should I be editing ?

Depends how you want to store the usernames and passwords.
In UserPass.nsi the username and password are hardcoded into the installer with two !defines. If you want more usernames and passwords, add more defines and change the code that compares the inputted usernames and passwords.

solved

StrCmp $R2 '${Username2}' 0 +2
StrCmp $R3 '${Password2}' Good Bad

should be replaced as

StrCmp $R0 '${Username2}' 0 +2
StrCmp $R1 '${Password2}' Good Bad

Hi there Afrow UK

Just wondering,

Is there a way to allow

!define Username1 "Jeff"
!define Password1 "blah"
!define Username2 "stealth"
!define Password2 "zero"

to be in store somewhere or

## A bit of validation
StrCmp $R0 '${Username1}' 0 +2
StrCmp $R1 '${Password1}' Good Bad
StrCmp $R0 '${Username2}' 0 +2
StrCmp $R1 '${Password2}' Good Bad

to be store somewhere instead of being added to the script itself ???

Means It will still be read when the user type in the username and password, but I wish to add something like a database. If I had many many more clients, I will be able to add into it instead of using it again and again on different installers.
