adding a password page 2

[gwillr]

I want to add a password area, such as the login area on this site. does anyone know the "nuts & bolts" of how to do this?? My goal is to have different usernames and passwords that I define, not the user.

Are you on a windows or a unix server? If you are on a Windows server check out this free script:

yeah, i am in fact using IIS as the server. Ill give this a try, but it seems more like a system that allows users to register themselves. Im looking for a login system that I can fully administer.

It does have a registration page yes - but you can easily delete the link to that page (and the page) to prohibit user registration

I am new to server side scripts and asp, any tips on how to deploy this login code?

Gary

 

[CoreyBryant]

Since you are hosting this yourself.. Do you have ASP enabled on the server / web? Also you will need to make sure that the folder in which your database is in had anonymous read / write permissions set.

OKAY GREAT, that iwll be no problem. how do i interconnect the html login page with the asp script and the database. what format should the database take?

Gary

 

[CoreyBryant]

Actually you will want the pages that you want to protect to be in ASP. The database can be Access if you want. And then in the very beginning, I think something like this is placed on each page you want to protect:

<%
Response.buffer=True
If Session(&quot;UserName&quot;) = &quot;&quot; Then 
Response.redirect &quot;login.asp?Redirect=&quot; &Request.Servervariables(&quot;URL&quot;)
End if
%>

I was looking over a page that I did a long time ago using that script.

okay, so if a page is currently in html, is there an easy way to convert to asp? say..in FrontPage or something?


Gary

 

[CoreyBryant]

Well you can right click the page & choose rename. And then just change .html to .asp. Of course if you have a lot, you can always go to your command prompt & rename them all at once. (You will want to go to tools - recalculate hyperlinks if you do do it that way.)
