login system for users to access their own folder

84 New Member
hi there, im currently writing a program in vb6 that will eventually be able to retrieve data from an online xml sheet

it will have a user base where each user has its own xml sheet and that only them (via username and password) will be able to access it and reads

so each user will have its own directory like

site.com/user1/values.xml.


im not that strong on the web side and have only really done simple html sites, is ther an example or something i can download that has a small log in system (prob stored in a mySQL DB) that allows you only have access to one folder.

i was then looking at would it be easier to connect to an online database for each user (just as mysql) and just make an account for each user and only allow them into a percific folder on the databse ?

im finding this really hard to explain, if anyone wants add me to msn : Removed Email Addressand i will try to explain better :(

well i hope that made sense :D

Hi All, I have an ASP.NET application to which I have implemented forms authentication to handle security. It is a relatively straight forward solution with all aspx pages residing in the root folder. The issue I am experiencing is that when the authentication time out is activated and the user is hence unauthenticated, the browser window is on sometimes redirecting back to the login page. When the browser does or doesn't redirect to...

Hi, I am using a role-based Forms Authentication. I have several directories that have different levels of authorization. When I try to access another directory, the page bounce me back to the login page everytime. After I re-login, I can access the page. I can't figure out what happened. I saved the roles to the User so when I access another page, they should able to see that before they bounce me out.

When I started a new ASP project I was eager to use the login facilities offered in Framework 2.0/VS 2005. I wanted: - A custom principal that could hold my integer UserID from the database - An easy way to classify different pages as either Admin, Member or Public, where login is necessary for Admin and Member but not for Public. My idea was to put the pages in different directories to easily keep my order. - An easy menu system that...

I'm still having trouble creating a simple login page using the asp:login control. I followed some instructions in a WROX book, "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0," and the instructions are very straight forward, but it won't work for me. I've got a little better troubleshooting information for everyone now. First, here's how I set this stuff up... 1. Created a new folder named "testlogin" 2.
