Hi! Maybe you know more than me about this.
I have an perl application that looks for data in a db and this data is extremely confidencial. I wanted to upload the application to the Internet but I dont know if I can trust the security Im using. I'll explain: When you access the Internet address of the application (say http://www.myserver.com/mydir/myscript.pl) a normal password protected directory dialog box appear. Then you must type a userid and password in order to access the directory "mydir". Once you access the directory, the script uses a second login script that asks you for another userid and password. Once you type the correct login information a non-persistent cookie is installed in order to make a function of a session and you are redirected to see the database contents. How secure is a password protected directory? Are these 2 methods enough to protect this application? If not, I hear any suggestion. Thanks in advance, Mauricio _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
