Hi Eric:

Is most of the coding being managed through the page at:
https://www.roxy.com/checkout/index.jsp?process=login

It sounds like you have worked around and resolved the issues that I am
working with. Thanks for the information I will have to get back to you
later on it. Thanks a lot. :-) 

Jim

Jim,

You can make this "portable" by creating and encapsulating this in a user
control. Once you get the plumbing in place you can instantiate this user
control in any web page you want to use it in.

I tend to simplify these user authentication modules and stay away from
ASP.NET 2.0's authentication and membership model. I just recently completed
a project for Roxy.com (http://www.roxy.com/designabikini) that incorporated
these features.

1. User login is handled by a User table.
2. User registrations are handled by a Contestants table.
3. Email validation is achieved by sending the user an email link that
contains a confirmation code that is essentially a GUID field. There was no
need to do a time-out for validating email addresses but that would be easy
to implement as well.

Shamil and Eric:

I am working on standardizing logging in to a web network. The item to
complete is:

1. Login interface with username, password, captcha and add if new user. 
2. Adding MS SQL server for validating passwords, allow no more than 8
incorrect attempts.
3. For new users, page for getting credentials. When completed final part of
validation will be to send new applicant a security coded email with a two
day time-out.
4. Validate new user acceptance email back and allowing limited access.
5. A system to monitor user logins and duration and pages viewed.

This interface has to be so designed as it can float anywhere on a website
page and perform and monitor all the above required tasks. I would like the
code to be generic and flexible enough to be easy to insert in any site with
a backend... So this module will need a full set of admin accessible
profiles. It is not to say that it will be for anyone but a programmer but
it should make my life easier.

There are of course some issues (a lot) I am having and some of my fixes
seem to be generating longer lists of errors rather the fixing anything.

As mentioned before I will have to put this project aside as I have recently
received a paying gig in MS Access...

When I get another chance and have resolved some of the basic issues I will
be asking some more point questions.

Jim,

What exactly is not working with your ASP.NET app?
