Newbee Trying to Create Login/Password Control on Homepage

Klaus Kragelund

Hi

I'm using DreamWeaver 2004 on a Win2k machine to create my homepage.
After spending several hours of mingling with ASP I discover that my
ISP doesn't support Access databases. So I turned to MySQL...

However now I'm stuck. I created the files describes in this tutorial:
http://www.gidforums.com/t-887.html

But I know next to nothing about SQL. For example - where is the
database. Is is just dynamic on the server someplace and how can I
refer to it?

The only thing I need is to make a password protected page, is it
really do difficult - or could one just place the password in a text
file on the server someway. Or can you guys direct me to a better
tutorial for making a password protected HTML page?

And specifically if I use SQL, how do I place the entries in the SQL
database in the first place?

Thanks

Klaus

If you only want a password protected page you don't necessarily need
MySQL. For example, you could also just configure Apache to use HTTP
authentication. Check out
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html
how to configure Apache for HTTP authentication.

how can I transfer the login information from classic asp to asp.net, without exposing the password?

by: bill | last post by:

I need to open a asp.net web form from a classic asp page, and pass a username and password to the asp.net page. The username and password exist as session variables in the classic asp application. I can't put the password in the classic asp page form as a hidden field and submit it, because someone can view source and see the password.

Creating secure login page

by: sharp2037 | last post by:

Hi Everyone, I am working on an ASP.net application and I have a homepage to which everyone visits of course and on that front page I have a user ID and password box and a login button. What I don't understand is some sites I visit don't use SSL on the login page. Instead you visit the homepage and there is no padlock. Then you type in your user ID and password and then click login and then it redirects to a secure area.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
