Jim, The environment we had to work with had a little wrinkle in that they have their own system of tracking users across pages. They used iframes to frame around our ASPX pages which made it easy for us to debug and test within our own environment and then upload to their servers. The link I included in my email translates to their very own generated link which meant that I had to properly reference pages from behind the scenes. The user logins and the management of the users was simple and easy to implement. We didn't use any 3rd party controls or tools. Everything is pure ASP.NET (C#) with javascript for client-side interaction. Even the image handling (uploading and resizing on the fly) is done with C# googled from many places on the web.

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 -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Eric Barro Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 10:21 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead? 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.
