trying to create login with sql table users

[davejam]

hi all,

sorry if this is really basic but having only just started to look at using asp.net from scratch i'm really struggling.

for clarification I am using asp.net v2 from vs2005, set up webfolder and can access externally without error

I have been trying to follow tutorials on creating secure sites with login but when it gets to the crutial bit i seem to completely get lost, or the tutorial goes off on a tangent

ok, i have created the authentication restriction in web.config as follows

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="yourAuthCookie" loginUrl="login.aspx"
        protection="All" path="/" />
    </authentication>
    <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>

which redirects to login.aspx if not logged in

I have then got a login.aspx page with the vs2005 login tool

        <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server">
        
        </asp:Login>

i have created a link to my sql server using server explorer -> data connections and tested the connection

i have my table called login with the following fields

LoginID
Company
Username
Password
Restriction

right, i just want the login to simply accept the values in login.aspx, authenticate with table then allow access to the site...

i'm missing the final yet crutial link i think, any help would be appreciated.

I'm starting too but I think taht the login control works only with the sqlserver security database.

"I think" that if you are making you own login method....

Look into memership providers.

Here are some good tutorials:

Hi,

Take a look at these aswell:

The framework is clever to accept your custom providers and user them as in essense you are extended their functionality and you have to implement all of the require functions.
