Hi Jim,

I always used IU KB knowledge as the model to follow. https://kb.iu.edu/

Best,

Hey all,

Who here has their helpdesk self-help knowledge pages protect by
password?   (ie, not available to the general public)

Ours are available from anywhere, but one must authenticate to view them
--- just to make it harder for a would be attacker to do recon against us
and learn of internal structures, products, and protocols in use.
However there is now a request to make ours public as well.

Just wondering what you all do with this.

Thanks,
