Security using forms

[thegarrett]

Hi Im new to ASP so please bare with me. I have a website and on that website i would like a username and password setup. now depending on the username and password put in it needs to be redirected to a different iis server page. i.e if you put in the username. testuser it would pass you to http://servername/testuser.

Does anyone have any ideas of where i can start looking?

Like i said i am new to ASP so this probably seems quite simple to someone but not to me....Yet!

Many thanks,

I just now found this thread... sorry it took so long to reply... but yes this can be done quite easily...

What you need to do is create a database that has 3 fields.

1) Username
2) Password
3) Url

Then when the user logs in it checks if Username = (any username in the database) then see if the password matches the field where username (in database) is = to username (on form).

Then you need to include something that will send the url to the browser depending on success...

Let's say you got the username and password and they passed. So we set variable success = 1. If it didn't we set variable success = 0. Lets also say that you set your recordset query = rsquery here's some code below to do the browser.

Code: Select all

if success = 1 then
   response.redirect(rsquery("Url"))
else
   response.redirect("http://servername/failed.asp")
end if
