How to set up User Name and Password?

R

RICHARD BROMBERG

I am using frontpage 2000 and trying to set up a website where a username
and password are required to open the page.

I looked it up on the Microsoft Knowledge base
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321503 ) but I am having trouble making it
work.

I set up an MS Access database called :logon.mdb" and entered a couple of
users in it.

I think I have the folders set up wrong.

Could someone please take a look and get back to me .

The folders are as follows.

In the Root folder I set up a folder called "logon"
In this folder I have the following ASP files :
default.asp
global.asp
logon.asp
secure.asp
unsecure.asp
default.asp

In the Root Folder I also setup a folder called "_private"
in this folder I have :
logon.inc
logon.mdb

Dick Bromberg
P.S. Which folder should I put the logon_page.htm file into ?

If you created the files in the folders according to the instructions they are in the right place
- will only work on a Windows server (supporting ASP) running under the FP Server Extensions (so you can work directly on the
server)

A FP web already has a _private folder w/ write permissions
- what do you mean you have set up one

What logon_page.htm page (you only need the .asp pages listed)

Thanks Stephan

I called the hosting company and they confirmed they are running a
windows server and support FP Extensions and ASP programs.

I deleted "logon_page" per your reply.

The second line in the logon.asp contains the following include statement
(see below).
That's why I set up _private in the logon folder.

<!--#include virtual="/logon/_private/logon.inc"-->

I also tried copying the logon.inc and the logon.mdb files into the _private
folder in the root directory, but this had no effect.

I also noticed that I have Global.asa in the logon folder.
Is the right place for it??

The URL is http://www.dickbrom.com .
testuser password

I actually get up to the "enter username and password " screen but it fails
there.
The logon.mdb contains one entry as follows
The UID is testuser and the PASSWORD is password .

I have been working on this for three or four days and would appreciate any
help

The path to the include in the KB article is based on the sample which Requires a Subweb named logon under the root web as in
http://http://www.dickbrom.com/logon/
That means you should have created a subweb named logon (not a folder named logon)
- that would have created the required _private folder in the new subweb
That would make the path from a file in your Root web to the subweb _private folder correct as: /logon/_private/logon.inc

Re read the article to identify which files belong in your root web http://www.dickbrom.com and which one belong in the Subweb
http://www.dickbrom.com/logon/
Root web - the pages you are trying to protect plus all other pages in the article except:
the mdb and .inc (in the logon subweb _private folder), and logon .asp in the logon subweb root

It will never be easier to delete everything and start over than it is right
now.

I am going to delete everything and reread the KB article and be a little
more careful.

Thanks
