What it does.
Locker adds a separate session-based sign-in gate in front of a Drupal site. It is designed for previews, white-label development and situations where the team needs to hide the site without configuring HTTP authentication at the server.
Because this gate is separate from a Drupal user account, it can help a team review anonymous-user behavior while access to the site is restricted. The documented interface accepts credentials or a passphrase, with command-line options for locking and unlocking.
Capabilities.
- Session-based preview access gate
- Username/password or passphrase configuration
- Anonymous-user review behind the gate
- Drush lock and unlock commands
Using the module.
- Configure Locker and choose credentials or a passphrase before activating the lock.
- Use the documented Drush commands when command-line locking or recovery is needed.
Project notes.
Direct file URLs remain accessible. Locker does not replace Drupal’s own user authentication or server-level protection for files.
