However, I can't seem to get rid of the button bar at the bottom that gives me access to halos and whatnot, even if I'm not logged in as a super user/admin type. I know there's been a lot of discussion about this, but I have a hard time following it. I *really* need to have the site live, but still be able to work on it without that "halo" back door showing on every page. There are likely other security issues with this "semi-deployment" mode and if someone could list them or point me to a discussion of them, I'd be thankful.. point your browser to: \config select your application (from the list on the LHS) under "General" you'll see "Root Decoration Classes" - the associated list should contain WAToolDecoration. This is adding the button bar to your application. You need to remove it. click on the associated Configure button click Override remove WAToolDecoration from the the "current" list. I'd remove the applications you don't need running eg examples, browse, comet, magritte, javascript, tests, welcome Then at a minimum password protect the applications you're planning to leave in place eg config, tools with: WAAdmin>>register: aComponentClass asApplicationAt: aString user: user password: password HTH Nick
