Forcing Log In?

[Randhart]

Hi there!

I was wondering if there's a way to force a person to log in .. I know I can have a field in my SQL DB that can check if the user logged in today but I was wondering if I can do it in some other way? maybe a Cookie or something ... ????

Thanks in Advance ...

Yeah... you can do it another way. Our company uses a server side script that you place before your HTML header. It propts you for your network login/pass. It is used only on our intranet... so I am not sure if that is something that you would be interested in or not.

Talk to you later,
Brandon

Hi

On my website which i'm working on....

When the client registers i give him/her option to auto-login and how it works is:

If auto-login option is true then drop a cookie on his/her pc

when he/she next visits:
first see if cookie exists
if exists - login in

if not exists show login dialogue

Hey there

I think I will got the Cookie Route .. see if my Logic seems logical ..

When the user logs in he goes to a second page right .. well if he logs in i create/Update a cookie with the date/time he logged in, the next page checks to see if the cookie's date/time corresponds to the current system time .. with a 1min error margin. if not the user will be redirected back to the main login page.

Cheers and thanks for your help!
