I have a FP Web which I update using FP2003, and which is maintained on a
Win2003 server.

I need to establish part of the site as a "members only" login deal, and am
not sure what the current state of the art is for the best way to accomplish
this.

Currently I restrict access to particular files by using passworded pdfs,
but a I need a more streamlined solution. The purpose of the protected area
would be to post member directories (we're a denominational office) and
minutes from sensitive committees.

thanks!

The best solution is to use ASP.NET 2.0 Membership, Roles, and Profiles but
amateurs are usually advised to use FrontPage subwebs which is crippleware
in comparison.

Thanks Clinton. I have asp enabled on my site: is there a manual anywhere on
how to implement this? I find the permissions on the FP subwebs quite
frustrating

thanks,

For a simple ASP solution, check out mylogin or similar scripts.

Is your site an Internet site or an INTRANET site?

I've used ASP to write dealer, membership etc. solutions and the link Rowe
provided may be useful for a lightweight solution but again, the ASP.NET
Membership System alone is justification for migrating to ASP.NET for those
who have comprehensive requirements as you have expressed.

ASP.NET requires more programming skill but is way way 'bester' than ASP
which is crippleware in comparsion. Briefly, Roles of the Membership system
for example support allow or deny access right down to specific elements on
a page itself and scale up to the entire section of a site or the entire
site itself. For example, Members will see a specific menu but Guests will
not. Managers will see certain content but Editors will not. Roles are
virtually unlimited.

Gallagher,

You can write heavy duty dealer, membership, etc. solutions using ASP/VBScript as well, that can
cover the requirements Erin indicated, as well as allowing for additional restricted access based on
the level or position of the user within the organization to areas within the restricted area.

ASP is lame in comparison and developing a solution anywhere near what can
be accomplished using ASP.NET 2.0 is not fiscally sound. Foolish in fact. I
could make myself a pair of wings and jump off a cliff because Icarus proved
it can be done but it would be real dumb to do so when we already know the
results.

Well, Clinton, there is no doubt in my mind that you are correct regarding
your position on the quality of ASP.Net versus ASP. In fact, I hope I never
have to touch ASP again. However, as a long time FrontPage MVP, I have come
to realize that most FrontPage users are not able to do serious programming,
and often have trouble doing something as simple as ASP (simple to a
professional programmer, at any rate). I therefore often recommend an ASP
solution to them, and tend to avoid recommending ASP.Net on this forum.
ASP.Net is full-court object-oriented compiled programming, and definitely
not for the shade-tree programmer!
