(January 7, 1997) - Pacific Coast Software introduces a new product to their catalog of utilities for Webmasters and Web servers. BeyondRealms is a Web server CGI that wraps many important functions required by all Webmasters into a single easy-to-use package. As the name suggests, BeyondRealms augments the built-in security features of many Web servers with page level user/group password protection. In addition, all pages processed by the application can include instructions for dynamically building the HTML text and then caching the template for for future use. For example, you can easily provide a password protected product price list that decides whether to show retail or wholesale prices based upon the user viewing the page. BeyondRealms creates a secure platform independent database of users and groups. This allows the administrator to remotely create new users and groups without accessing the server directly. All administration is performed via the Web. In addition, the database can easily handle tens of thousands, or more, users without significantly affecting performance. Rather than relying on a text match in the file path, or general folder level protection, BeyondRealms provides unique protection for just the files you want protected. No need to worry about accidentally excluding pages you want visible to everyone at your site. This also means you can rearrange pages on your site without accidentally losing password protection. In the same way that you specify password protection for a page, you may include commands in the HTML that directs BeyondRealms to hide or show portions of text, or include standard variables, in a page before it is returned to the person viewing the page. This sort of dynamic page creation not only energizes your Web site, but personalizes it to specific groups. The increased security also means that you can easily integrate products like SiteEdit Pro into your pages so that a link that allows you to quickly edit a page appears when viewed from a particular IP address. When pages are read by BeyondRealms you have the option to cache the template in RAM so that the next time it is requested it doesn't have to be read from disk. This can significantly improve the overall performance of your server. In order to maximize the positive effects of BeyondRealms you can can have it process most or all of your Web pages. FEATURES * Provides increased security and performance * Extremely fast and flexible password protection * Protected pages may be moved without affecting security * Selectively hide or show portions of HTML * Dynamically insert standard variables like the current date on pages * Efficiently integrate other applications like SiteEdit Pro on pages * Runs on both Windows and Macintosh Web servers * One application does it all! BeyondRealms is based on the next generation technology found in Pacific Coast Software's WebCatalog and WebCommerce Solution products. The application may be installed as a standard CGI on both platforms and as a WebSTAR compatible plug-in on Macintosh. BeyondRealms is $295 for either platform. Special pricing is available when purchased in a bundle with SiteEdit Pro.
