How to require a login to enter a site

B

BobH

I want to put up a simple site to share some documents with a private
audience. How do I put up a form for login on the home page so that only
those I authorize can enter the site? I have tons of reference material,
books, tutorials, but I can't find this. If someone could just point me in
the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bob

If the entire site is going to be password protected then all you need to do
is ask your web host to remove anonymous access and restrict the site to
just certain users that you'll need to give access to. Then anyone going to
the site will get a login / password prompt before being able to enter.

If you want customize your own authentication you could use a database and
ASP to do this. See http://www.kamath.com/tutorials/tut003_auth.asp for an
example

A very nice 3rd-party product that I purchased is :

http://www.spookylogin.com/default.asp

And they provide GREAT support for the product. I spun my wheels for weeks
on this Forum, in the new EWD product, and all over the Internet trying to
figure out this solution until I just decided to purchase that product. It
requires ASP.NET on your hosting server.

Good luck.

Thank you all for your help. I'm going to try it with the MS procedure
before spending money. I appreciate your help very much.
