The orginal "Basic Authentication II" has been updated. Please vote!
Update:
-Added a FAQ page that should help you with some problems;
-Did some code formatting;
-Set Databases to nothing when they are't used anymore;
-Also added a database in '97 format. Code standardly uses 2k format.
--
The code will show the basic authentication dialog, and will verify the username/password the visitor entered with a database.
If the username/password isn't found/incorrect it will redirect to an 'access denied' page. If the username/password are correct, the program will redirect to the 'welcome' page (which will also confirm that the user is authenticated).
This code will also log the last login date/time and the total login count.
99.9% secure :o).
Also includes a signup script...

The login box keeps coming up over and over even after I have logged in with a valid ID? Is there something I need to change on the server side or in the code or something? The signup works fine and writes to the database. Please help! Thanks.

This code works great, just make sure you enable basic authentication on your web server, remove anonymous authentication, and don't use NTCR authentication unless all your clients are using IE.

I have a bug to report on your login script.
First I login with my username and password in the password dialog.
And after that logout.
And then I press login again.
The username that I logged in with before I logged out is displayed in the username
field and the password field is blank.
If I press abort button in the password dialog.
I get a

Does anyone know how to get this code to work while running Windows 2000 or NT. The "WWW-Authenticate" dialog also prompts for a domain name in these environments. Is there any way to get around this and just have the User & Pass, like the example above? Any help appreciated.

I like this routine, it gives appearance of being more secure than form. Select Basic, De-select NT CR auth in Internet Service Mgr to lose the domain tbox.

I haven't been able to open up the 'user.mdb' database. I get 'unrecognised database format'. I'm using Access 97. What format is user.mdb in? Access 97 should be able to read Access 2000 database's. Please email cdyer@one.net.au with any info.
TIA

it seems that IIS is trying to authenticate me against NT User Accounts before it will let me visit that web page. Is there a header type to instruct IIS not to authenticate against itself, but still let the browser pass UserName/Password in a server variable?

mango-
try changing all every 'Response.Write' to a 'Response.Redirect'. That way you can personalize the 401, Access Denied and all the other errors. This has worked well for me. : )

It's time I made a small "faq" for
this... I recently discovered *very*
much replies on this code, and my other
ASP code, but I never checked that
email account anymore. I'm very
sorry that I never replied to any of
your messages.

Can this code (Basic Authentication 2.5) be used to allow users into an Intranet site using their NT Username & Password? Without copying the information to a new database?
Great code as it is by the way!
Cheers
Chris

Nice code but I cannot get it work on win2k. I never get a popup login window. It directly goes to access denied page. Im using windows 2000. I guess it does not work for windows 2000.
Any new version for win2k.
