: How to have google index a login protected url? For example, my site: http://abcde.foobar.com is protected by a "single sign on" login page hosted at http://sso.foobar.com, so when a user visits
For example, my site: abcde.foobar.com is protected by a "single sign on" login page hosted at sso.foobar.com, so when a user visits "abcde", they get redirected to the "sso" login page always, and they have to login to access "abcde".
It seems Google does not know about my "abcde" site at all, how do I make google know about my "abcde" site? Because a lot of my users are trying to search for "abcde" in google and the site doesn't come up. (my "abcde" url is very obsecure and not a word, so google should put my site on top if it had known about it)

According to this blog post on the Official Google Webmaster Center Blog googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/10/first-click-free-for-web-search.html
It's possible to give Google access to protected content to crawl.
You need to have some publicly available content at abcde.foobar.com for Google to index it. "abcde" should also appear in the page content of those pages if you want to rank for that term - not solely in the URL. The URL is just a (small) factor in determining relevance.
