Logon Login Script

[Chuck]

I am looking for a simple logon script that would control who accesses our
Swim Team website.

The free scripts that I've found (like
http://www.jetstat.com/asp/frontpage_logon/) all require a Database to store
the userid/password information. Has anyone seen one that uses a flat, txt,
file in place of the DB?

While it would be nice to require a userid and password I "think" we can get
by with just a generic password that would be distributed to team families.

If you want a generic login, ask your host to protect a folder within your web.

Your host will have to support subwebs and unique permissions under the FP Server Extensions

We came to that same conclusion. I removed the entry for EVERYONE from the
file permissions and created a dedicated userid/password that we will
distribute to our members. That unique ID only has read access and it
requires the user to logon

This allows me to protect any sensitive file, like a PDF or a complete HTML
page.
