I'm using Drupal and I've been working on password protecting my website, but there is a problem. I would like visitors to be able to go to the homepage and see it without a password, but I would like it so to go beyond this it would require establishing an account to include a password. I am aware if I go to the cpanel, then security, and then to "password protecting directories" I can add password protection. I learned about this at: http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/edu/cpanel/304-password-protect-directory
(mentioning this in case anybody directs me to this again)

However, when I enabled password protection it required a password just BEFORE navigating to the site. And this required the administrator (me) to establish this password. Both of these things are not exactly what I am trying to do. In other words I am trying to password protect secondary pages. Also, I tried installing different security modules, but none of them were what I was looking for either.

Does anyone have an idea on this? Plenty of sites function this way.
