    Posted: 18 March 2005 at 3:38pm
Hello!
 
I just found the Web Wiz forums and it seems to be one of the easier to understand ASP Forums around.
 
My issue is that I have an existing website with its own database of users and passwords. The registration/login script is already in place. I want to set a database trigger that will check the username and password in both database (or add, edit or delete them from both databases) and then set the forum's necessary cookies.
 
My question is this, what cookies need to be set?
 
If anyone has any advice or tips for me I would appreciate it!
 
I have searched the support forums for a few days and have run into many users that have the same issue I have, but I never find an answer.
 
Thank you,
Amy

the onkly thing that is used to Identify the users is a cookie which can be called anything but the lst part of the cookie  is UID


there are a few pages that would need to reflect within both databases.

the cookie value is check and returns the all user details from that record, this is the User_code.

you can see what files need editing by downloading the zip file from www.breathofair.co.uk/asp/applications/login/download.asp

download the WWF version zip that hopes all files that would require changing. you can also download the application if you want so you can see the methods used to make an application that also attachs to WWF

also it might need to be noted that passwords within WWF are also 160 bit one hash encrypted, so can't be formed into its original value.

Thank you for your quick answer. I have a few questions about your reply.

I am not sure what you mean by this. Can you please elaborate?

By returning the user details  do you mean the userID and Password?

Will this file give me all the cookies that need to be set and what values that they need to be set to?
 
Basically what I am looking for is a list of cookies that are set when I login and what values are assigned to these cookies.
 
Thank you so much for your help!

A cookie is set called 'wwf -> UID' which holds the members User_Code which is stored in the database table tblAuthor

This user code is used to track the user and is update often through various parts of the forum.

So what I read from this is it will not be just as easy as setting a cookie when the user logs into my main website... correct?
