Thanks Matt - but I'm not.
Should have said - using a Windows Server and
developing with Dreamweaver. No alternatives allowed - no matter how good!

Has anyone had any experience of the many
password protection programmes available
commercially and if so any recommendations? I'm
thinking of things that can be downloaded (free
or paid for) from CGI Resources and similar places.
I'm specifying a site (commercial - for
industry and commerce) that might well get 1000
or more paid members that will have access to
certain data once they have paid. It needs to
be simple and easy to set up and reliable once
running. The payment part I've pretty much sorted with a provider here in UK.
If you're using apache, checkout mod_auth with
the MySQL functionality. It would allow you to
setup a MySQL database that you can insert into
from the registration/payment script and then
authenticate against using HTTPS authentication.
This means that you don't have to worry so much
about wether people have cookies etc turned
on. It also allows any scripts that interface
with MySQL to interface with your site.
Breif guideshould be on the apache.org website,
but google is probably more your friend on this.
Hope this helps,
Matt
