Question

DW login page server behaviour

I'm just finding my way with my first mySQL project, and have gotten as far as a working, hosted page displaying data, and have been having a look at creating a login page.

I've just created one using DW's built in User Authentication > Login Page server behaviour , which I've managed to get working pretty much first time (which is unusual for me!) - so my question is just whether or not that is secure enough, or if people would frwon on that, and advise me to do x, y and z to make it properly secure?

Cheers,
Iain

Cheers - may just do that - the manual is certainly very thorough and clear. I need to find out if my current client wants to go ahead with adding database functionality - if so I'll probably make a purchase.

Not sure if your interested, but I have an extension that would help you,
the PHP Login Suite.

It contains 34 server behaviors to build a complete login system, and goes
way beyond the behaviors built into DW, offering a lot of extra
functionality. It is a commercial extension, but only costs �19.99. The full
manual is available at the address below so you can see exactly what the
suite can do.

It may be that the built in behaviors do all you need, but on the other hand
the extra functionality would probably be useful to you.

Thanks

The login behaviour creates a fairly secure system that will meet the needs
of most sites.

Cheers Paul - and a good answer. Although I noticed that the password isn't case sensitive even (although there might be a setting for that I missed.)

It's for a recruitment agency site I've done, to replace the existing vacancies page, so not the most sensitive data.

Although I went on an ASP course last year and touched on login screens, sessions etc, and IIRC covered 'closing the back door' to login success or fail pages - at the moment for example the login page I did doesn't stop me from just browsing to the page that a successful login takes you to - is it possible to prevent this?
