Vintage Lover Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 What are authenticated users? My traffic numbers show the same numbers as the authenticated users numbers. Authenticated users used to be minimal in the past? Is this bad? Sandra Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Each time you log into cPanel you are an authenticated user. Have a forum, blog and log in as administrator, that is an authenticated user. Is it bad? Not if you are the one doing the accessing. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I found more info. The Authenticated Users listed in AWStats is a result of a Web server login. However it can also be a result of an HTTP Header Request including information in the Authenticated User field. This by no means indicates that someone has hacked into your Web site. Quote
Vintage Lover Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks Bruce. It just worries me because ALL of my hits appear to be authenticated user logins. All 22K of them. I know that wasn't me the whole time. My site has always been run on blog system, but now I added a shopping cart. Maybe it's because the cart is running on a secure server? Sandra Quote
TCH-JimE Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 If your clients are logging into the cart to buy something, that would also count too. Also if they log into the blog, that could also be them. Just a few ideas JimE Quote
