Hello,

you should allow accessing your website without login/password, since even if you will create a sitemap, Google will still NOT index your pages if thir bot is unable to open your pages.

I have same issue for [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Only few pages have free access, all others are under user/password access.

Is it possible to provide the master user/password to your script so it can index the pages?

Please check the post above - even if you will include those links in sitemap, they still will NOT be indexed by search engines and their both will not be able to open them.
