Subject: Password protection with group ID

I am trying to setup a password protected site. I have the login page setup and it works against an Access database. I have added a groupID much like in the wwForm database. When someone logs in they are redirected to another. Different links will appear depending on which group they are in, but I cannot figure out how to check the groupID on the second page against the login id and password. How can I pass the username and password to the rest of the pages in the password protected area. Any help will be appreciated. ------------- If you are not willing to work hard to realize your dreams, why bother dreaming? |

Thats what I thought, but the groupID is in the database and not entered at login. How can I use the cookie to get the groupID? Thanks ------------- If you are not willing to work hard to realize your dreams, why bother dreaming? |

im the stupid 1 so dont be surprised if this dont work... cant you just have it so if they login you do name = request.form("name") sql = "select * from yourdb where name like '" & name & "'" then do something like..... if rsportal("GROUPID") = "1" then do what ever else do what ever END IF
Im not sure if any of this code works but atleast im trying... practice makes perfect i hope.... |

if you don't want to check the DB each page, when you check the login vs password, the DB is open, you can write a cookie then with your ID field ------------- http://www.conhecerparaconservar.org - I don't know how to make you click here |

IF this works.... name = request.form("name") sql = "select * from yourdb where name like '" & name & "'" then do something like..... if rsportal("GROUPID") = "1" then response.cookies("ID") = "1" elseif rsportal("groupid") = "2" then response.cookies("ID") = "2" else if rsportal("groupid") = "3" then response.cookies("ID") = "3" else response.cookies("ID") = "0" END IF
you can do elseif as many times you want or you can use the case 1.... But if you do that then you can have at the top of your pages... If request.cookies("ID") = "0" then 'display codes for guests or what ever zero happens to be elseif request.cookies("ID") = "1" Then 'Show the code for this group id OR 'response.redirect "page.asp" and u need a else then a end if or you get a error.... Please dont critisize the stupid... Not every1 is as smart as -borg- cause the chances are that i waisted my time telling you a code that will never work ... END IF
