username redirect

[rml]

How can I make a user enter his or her username and
password, then have them redirected to another page
depending on that username and password?

Thanks.

If you have a Windows Web server, set up a form with text
boxes named txtUser and txtPswd, and a submit button named
btnSub. Then, in Code view, add this code:
<%
if request("btnSub") <> "" then
if (request("txtUser ") = "top") _
and (request("txtPswd") = "secret") then
Session("loggedin") = "1"
response.redirect("privatepage.asp")
else
Session("loggedin") = "0"
response.redirect("publicpage.asp")
end if
end if
%>

For safety, you should also add this code to
privatepage.asp.

<%
if Session("loggedin") <> "1" then
response.redirect("publicpage.asp")
end if
%>

If I were you I would use an include file for a session
check on every page beneath "privatepage", not just that
page, in order to prevent ANY access to subsequent pages.

Fer sure, but the original question concerned only a single protected page.
