Security Login

PW

I've added a punlic domain security login page to one of my web
applications. I did this because the number of users has increased to a
couple of dozen, and having them all added as users on my machine was
becoming cumbersome. I find this method a lot easier to manage the users.
Previously I used windows authentication.

Is this the method most people use ?

Whats the est method ?

Whats the upside and downside to the method I am using now ?

TIA,
PW

What's a Public Domain Security?

Yes

it is easier to have the users enter into a database, but you must then make
sure that each page checks for he users authentication

a way to do this is have them login and if successful assign a session
variable to say that they are in fact logged in, and then make sure you
check for that variable on each secure page

Cool ... I am already setting a session variable to TRUE when the user is
authenticated successfully. This variable is checked in an include file
which I already had at the top of each ASP. so it sounds like I'm covered.

Thank!

What's a Public Domain Security?

Sorry, I should have explained better. Its a login page (ASP) that I got
off planet source code, a la public domain, free to use.

Sorry, that was a typo, I mean Public Domain login page.

Its a login page (ASP) that I got off planet source code, a la public
domain, free to use.

My main concern is, is using an ASP login process with database lookup as
safe and secure as what I was using before (windows authentication) .

ya, nothing wrong with forms based authentication
just make sure its is secure and safe from SQL injection .. etc etc

www.aspprotect.com has a free app worth checking out as well

take care

That would depend on the implementation of login page. If it sends the
password as a form field then it's not as secure as using windows
authentication. If it uses a challange/response mechanism then it is.
