Can anyone tell me what sort or system is used by websites to allow registered users access to a site. Come to think of it, maybe the vb-world administrators could help me here!

I have developed a "web based" app (ruuning our intranet) which requires restricted access to users.

At the moment I am using an ASP login screen which prompts for a username and password these are then passed to to a DLL running on the server which in turn querys an access database for verification.

The dll then passes back a code which is interpeted in the ASP and a set of hyperlinks are generated

Is using a DLL and an Access database a satisfactory system?

How do other sites control access?
