Members only with Frontpage

[Lew]

Is it possible to restrict/allow access to an entire site and/or subsection
of a site with a FrontPage 2002 generated web? (Probably, but not
necessarily on a member name/password basis.)

Thanks, Jim.
The link you posted refers to intranet connections where users are
already authenticated by a Windows server. I'm trying to create a members
only area on a remotely hosted internet site via FP2002.

Then you will need to look into a database solution using ASP, PHP, etc. depending on what is
supported by your host.

there was/is an app called "spooky log-in" you might want to do a google
search for it.
you might also want to look into a solution at the "usual suspects" like
www.aspin.com www.fuzzysoftware.com www.hotscripts.com and the like.
HTH

btw what you're talking about is usually a database with user names and
passwords when the user submits both correctly it passes them a cookie. if
the cookie is present the page in question loads, if not it redirects them
to the log-in.

Well, ok. My host supports mySQL and php. Is there a source for demo scripts
and/or examples for fp2002? I'm well versed in SQL and db stuff, so all I'd
need to see is the php script and how to insert it in fp.

Right. That can still work if your host is running an IIS Web server.
You can either set up an account for each visitor, or set up one
account and give it to the visitors you want.

The procedure is somewhat different if the host is running a Unix
Web server with the FrontPage Server Extensions, but it's still
possible.
To get started, choose (I think) Tools, Server, Permissions. (I don't
generally deal with Unix Web servers.)

If you want the sort of thing where visitors register and then prove
their e-mail address by sending back a password, you have to write
your own code or buy a third-party package. The reason is that such
schemes are generally part of a larger business system.
