Thanks Matt - but I'm not.
Should have said - using a Windows Server and developing with
Dreamweaver. No alternatives allowed - no matter how good!
I seem to recall a way of hooking IIS's authentication into a MSSQL
server in a similar way to the below, but I can't remember how to do it
and it was a long time ago...
I'll see if I've got it archived anywhere...
Cheers,
Matt

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
TIA
