Access and frontpage security - 11/3/2005 16:04:59
I am creating a new website in Frontpage 2000. It consists of a frontend marketing site accessible to everyone and a password protected backend informational site for a group of users. I have recently moved the site from a UNIX server to a Windows server through my hosting company in order to add an Access database directory. I am being told that I can no longer use the frontpage security features. I have been told I can add an .asp log-in feature but I do not write code. Can anyone help me with this? I do not want to just password protect the database but the entire sub web (backend of the site). I do not need anything more than a single password system that I can periodically change and distribute to my users.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to OutFront.
I can think of a few ways.
1. If it's a Windows server, you could create a single user, turn off anonymous and turn on authenticated access under the security section off IIS, and set that newly created user as the default user. That should force everyone with a "standard" login prompt for anything in that protected directory.
2. Spooky Login. It can do a lot of what you want simply but also do more "granular" protection if you want. It only requires installing it and adding 1 line of code to each page you want to protect.
3. A session or cookie based authentication. If session or cookie doesn't exist, present a prompt. If proper password entered, set session or cookie; if not, present prompt again.
All 3 may work OK depending what you want to do and the level you want to protect at. Hope it helps.

I have used the Login for a number of years now with few problems and those few that I did have were swiftly dealt with by Spooky here at OF. So you will have great support too.
