Security goes away when someone refreshes the Front End

Help!!! This is driving me nuts!

We have created a DB for a company. We split the DB. Everything seems
to work well except for this one thing.

Every time we refresh the front end of a user, the security file
looses all security that was set. Each user has a desktop shortcut
that they access their front end from. The front end points to the
back end that resides on a computer. The security file is there as
well.

We have had to redo the security at least 20 times and I know there
must be something small that we are missing.

Can anyone please make suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm still a novice when it comes to session security issues. The problems I'm trying to solve may be fairly common, but I haven't seen examples of solutions in any of the books I've looked at. I currently have a page called 'login.php' which requires the user to provide a userid/password combination. If the user logs in successfully (i.e., the supplied userid/password combination is in the mysql database), the user is directed to a page...

Hello, Currently all of my php pages use SSL, not just my initial login. Originally I thought this would be more secure, but after thinking about things and looking at sites like Amazon and Gmail, they all SSL the login scripts and then use regular http for everything else, which I'm sure speeds things up without the encrypt/decrypt process. I was going to change my scripts to reflect this model, but I saw in the php manual the...

S**t for brains strikes again! Why did I do that? When I met the clients and at some point they vaguely asked whether eventually would it be possible to have some people who could read the data and some who couldn't but that it wasn't important right now. And I said, 'sure, we can do that later'. So now I've developed an app without any thought to security and am trying to apply it afterwards. Doh!, doh! and triple doh!

Hi I have a front-end/back-end setup. The front-end utilises all unbound forms populating the back-end via the code I have written. All fine so far. Prior to splitting the database I ran the security wizard and used a shortcut from the desktop. All fine except of course I can open the back-end directly. The security FAQ appears to be out of date insofar as there is no wrkgadm.exe with 2002 and therefore you simply run the security...

Any suggestions, knowledge base articles, books? We are not going to go field level but now we have a couple clients that would like to limit what employees can see of our application (forms and reports). I guess we would need to create a database containing user names and what forms and reports they can access (and then probably going to have to be responsible for that database too <g>.? Thanks, -paulw

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
