I am very new at programming and am trying to set up a member area that is protected.  I am currently using Webprotect on the CPanel to protect my member folder and everying under it.  Also I have generated ASP code to check passwords.  Everything works great.....  EXCEPT after the proper password and loginID has been verified, the WebProtect still prompts asking for the password that is specified through the Cpanel.  Needless to say this negates the usefullness of the code i've generated.

So, what do I do now?  Is there code that I can generate that will input the proper data into the WebProtect prompt?  If I disable the WebProtect, then somone can just type in my /members/.... URL.

Any help would be appreciated,
Drew

Once a user is logged in, there should be no more login promts.  Are you trying to draw images or something from another protected area?

right, they only have to log on through the webprotect deal once.  But I have a login and password form on my page that checks the information through my MYSQL database.

I think I may have to just disable the webprotect and do individual page security via ASP pages.  But that is not so increcibly reliable, ya know.

Use sessions and it will be reliable by setting a session variable. At the top of each page check to see if the sesion has been logged in, if they havn't redirect to a login page. if they have logged in then display the page.

I'd say disable the asp logins and leave the web protect.
