Cebkent Posts: 20 From: USA Status: offline	Passwords - 5/8/2003 13:08:46 Hi. I' ve searched through old posts & FAQs looking for an answer, but it doesn' t seem anyone has asked my exact question, so I' m posting here. Do I need to create a subweb just to have one page password-protected? I don' t even want to have usernames. Just a simple form, with a single password for everyone, that allows access to one page. Do I really need a subweb for that? What about a simple popup (like the one to login here!) that just asks for a password? I' m not trying to make anything overly " secure" (obviously); I' m just trying to set aside certain files for a small group of people. (Oh, I' m using FP 2000) TIA! < Message edited by Cebkent -- 5/8/2003 1:10 PM >

Eli Posts: 2659 From: ... er ... Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 9:14:42 you can do it with an asp script. Does your host support asp? _____________________________ Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Cebkent Posts: 20 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 9:18:36 Yes. I have IMC Online (VIA Networks). How/where would I access the appropriate script? < Message edited by Cebkent -- 5/9/2003 9:19 AM > (in reply to Cebkent)

RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 9:22:22

sweet - ok - do this:

create a folder in FP.

in that folder create a page called index.asp as follows (replace guest and login with your own username and password)

<%
msg = " " 
If Request(" Submit" )<>" "  Then
If Request(" username" ) = " guest"  and Request(" password" )=" login"  Then
Session(" Valid" ) = Request(" username" )
response.redirect " nextpage.asp"     ' first protected page here
Else  msg = " Invalid username or password. Try again!" 
End If
End If
%>
<html><head><title>Password Protect</title></head>
<body><form action=" index.asp"  method=" post" ><table>
<%If msg <> " "  Then%>
<tr> <td colspan=" 2" ><font color=red><%=msg%></font></td></tr>
<%End If%>
<tr> <td>UserName:</td> <td><input type=" text"  name=" UserName" ></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td> <td><input type=" Password"  name=" Password" ></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=" 2" ><input type=" submit"  name=" Submit" ></td></tr>
</table></form></body></html>

nb: change " nextpage.asp" to the next page that you want people to go to after logging in.

On top of every ASP page you want to protect in the directory add the following function to the very top of the page:

<%If Session(" Valid" ) = " "  Then
Response.redirect " index.asp" 
End If%>

Any page with this in it will not allow the user to view it unless they are logged in!

RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 13:30:04

[:' (] ALRIGHT. I' ve been weeding out my typos for the last two hours now (FP was being temperamental about copy & paste) and I can no longer find anything to indicate why this sucker ain' t workin' .

When I enter the info and click on Submit, it just bounces me back to the index.asp page. Here' s everything from head to toe:

quote:

<%
msg = " "
If Request(" Submit" )<>" " Then
If Request (" username" )=" guest" and Request(" password" )=" cebkent" Then
Session(" Valid" ) = Request(" username" )
response.redirect " praxis.asp" ' first protected page here
Else msg = " Invalid username or password. Try again!"
End If
End If
%>
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv=" Content-Type" content=" text/html; charset=windows-1252" >
<title>PRAXIS III</title>
<meta name=" GENERATOR" content=" Microsoft FrontPage 4.0" >
<meta name=" ProgId" content=" FrontPage.Editor.Document" >
<meta name=" Microsoft Theme" content=" axis 011" >
<meta name=" Microsoft Border" content=" none" >
</head>

<body><form action=" index.asp" method=" post" ><table width=" 892" >
<%If msg <> " " Then%>
<tr> <td colspan=" 3" width=" 884" ><img border=" 0" src=" ../images/Other/SEIb.gif" align=" right" ><b><font size=" 6" >PRAXIS III Info</font></b>
<tr>
<td colspan=" 3" width=" 884" ><font color=" red" ><b>Restricted Access</b></font>
<p>This area is reserved only for Region 9 PRAXIS III Assessors.<br>
Please enter your username and password to access your area pages.
<tr> <td colspan=" 3" width=" 884" ><%=msg%></td></tr>
<%End If%>
<tr> <td width=" 100" bgcolor=" #DDDDCC" ><b>UserName:</b></td> <td width=" 259" bgcolor=" #DDDDCC" ><input type=" text" name=" username" ></td> <td width=" 513" rowspan=" 2" ></td></tr>
<tr><td width=" 100" bgcolor=" #DDDDCC" ><b>Password:</b></td> <td width=" 259" bgcolor=" #DDDDCC" ><input type=" password" name=" password" ></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=" 3" width=" 884" ><input type=" submit" name=" Submit" >
<tr><td colspan=" 3" width=" 884" ><font size=" 2" ><i>If you feel you have reached
this message in error, please contact the <a href=" mailto:webmaster@seisummit.org" >webmaster</a>.</i></font>
</table></form></body></html>

And at the top of praxis.asp, I have

quote:

<%If Session(" Valid" ) = " " Then
Response.redirect " index.asp"
End If%>

Micah, can you tell me where I' ve screwed up?? [:j]

(Part of me is wondering, since these pages are in a subfolder of the root directory, if their paths shouldn' t be folder/file.asp as opposed to just file.asp. Whenever I create an internal link, the subfolder is always listed in the path--that' s why I' m asking that. Does that make sense?)

Cebkent Posts: 20 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 14:33:01 Sorry...I don' t know what that means. Should the links in the code read " index.asp" or " folder/index.asp" ? (I do know that this isn' t the source of my holdup because I published both ways and I still couldn' t get the password form to work. Also, are you able to discern what error I made (assuming it' s me) to prevent the password form from moving me on when I hit Submit? Thanks... (in reply to Cebkent)


Eli Posts: 2659 From: ... er ... Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/9/2003 16:19:00 hmmm! I can' t see any problems. try copying the code that I gave you exactly. Paste it into notepad, and then copy the notepad stuff into FP. don' t edit it until you know it works. see what happens.

Cebkent Posts: 20 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/13/2003 12:44:43 Okay, I did just your straight code and the page is still is bumping me back to itself. I know my host supports asp because I have other asp pages (although the code was generated by FP itself). I haven' t even changed your user/password settings. Here' s the URL that' s misbehaving: http://www.seisummit.org/praxis/index.asp which is supposed to move the user on to praxis.asp Thanks... (in reply to Cebkent)

Cebkent Posts: 20 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Passwords - 5/13/2003 16:16:18 I checked the settings for my browser and can' t find anything obvious that would cause the issue. I' ll check my resources too. In the meantime, I' m also wondering why only the Username and Password part of the form shows up upon first accessing the index page, but if one of the fields produces an error, then the entire designed page shows up. The index page you see when you first go to it is not all that' s there. But I can' t get the full page to show up except when I purposely mistype in one of the fields to produce the error message. That' s when my logo and other layout elements show up. [I]I' m sure you didn' t anticipate my original post being dragged out this long in this many ways. I really appreciate your help!!
