Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to add a password to a page, or where to go to find the info? Thanks a lot!

Hi

I have a video/written tutorial at the link below that tells you how to
use the authentication server behaviours. The example uses ColdFusion
but the steps you follow are the same for all the languages that DW
supports with this Server Behaviour.

Thanks a lot. This tutorial has a lot of terms I dont quite understand yet.
Im gaining a grasp, but before I get to far I'll explain what Im trying to do.

I have a resail and wholesale business. On my web site I havea retail side
store and a wholesale side store (because of the differing prices) Obviously I
dont want the retail side to be able to see the pricing etc. on the wholesale
side. So I want to protect the wholesale side pages with a user login and
password. It sounds like that tutorial is what Im looking for, but Im not
quite sure. lol

Hi

It would be good to make the the wholesaler log in, you could then test
for the session variable MM_Username - or use a session name of your own
making, just make sure its different from the session variable name you
give to other customers when they log in - which DW creates by default
on your prices.

<cfif isdefined ("session.MM_Username")>
Show the wholesale price
<cfelse>
show the retail price
</cfif>
