Has anyone had any experience of the many password protection programmes
available commercially and if so any recommendations? I'm thinking of
things that can be downloaded (free or paid for) from CGI Resources and
similar places.
I'm specifying a site (commercial - for industry and commerce) that
might well get 1000 or more paid members that will have access to
certain data once they have paid. It needs to be simple and easy to set
up and reliable once running. The payment part I've pretty much sorted
with a provider here in UK.
If you're using apache, checkout mod_auth with the MySQL functionality.
It would allow you to setup a MySQL database that you can insert into
from the registration/payment script and then authenticate against using
HTTPS authentication.
This means that you don't have to worry so much about wether people have
cookies etc turned on. It also allows any scripts that interface with
MySQL to interface with your site.
Breif guideshould be on the apache.org website, but google is probably
more your friend on this.
Hope this helps,
Matt
