Authentication in ASP.NET

[Shapper]

Hello,

I am working on a web site and I need to create a login page.
I am using a Microsoft SQL database to hold my usernames and passwords.

I think I should use authentication in web.config.

Well, can someone help me out with this and also send me some links.

I never did something like this.

Thank You Very Much,
Miguel

Miguel:
You'll need to use FormsAuthentication. There are quite a few tutorials:

1. All the above links from other posters are good. However, to understand
..Net security in details (written by MS), you need to download the
SecNet.Pdf (over 600 pages manual) below, pay special attention to Chapter
3.
