Login - exisiting Web Site

I have an exisiting web site. I' d like to include code on only certain pages in my site to use your login to allow viewing. The login would then work with those pages (allow viewing) and members logged in would be allowed to view the forums.

I currently have a login on specific pages, but it is not very secure (no encryption) and it requires me to manually add members to the database.

I also must receive an email from new members before allowing them to register. It is a homeowners' association and only homeowners may log in and view certain pages.

Can I do this easily with the ASP forum?

I' m currently using the Snitz forum, but setting this up has been a nightmare - I have to go through multiple files to set relative vs. root paths.

We have the mechanism to allow external login and external registration (outside the forum). The sample codes are in our private forums. After a user logged in successfully, we set a cookie which can then be used to indicate whether he is a valid user in the db or not.

Thanks

Thanks, Samuel.

Three things:

1. Is the login " your" login - which I would prefer?

2. Can the cookie expire when the user logs out - or closes the browser?

3. Is there an option to not allow self-registration?

1. Is the login " your" login - which I would prefer?

Yes it is my login code. I just took a few of our forum codes and modified it a bit.

2. Can the cookie expire when the user logs out - or closes the browser?

Yes, the auto login cookie will be wiped out once the user choose to log out. Closing the browser won' t clear the cookie.

3. Is there an option to not allow self-registration?

Yes, you can disable registration and have your own registration routine using our " external registration" sample.
