User login

Hello!

I'm quite a newbie with dmx, so I just have to ask...

Is it possible somehow to create user login page without any serverbased
applications, just with dreaweaver or flash?

Thanks!

JP

It's not possible in HTML.

It can be done (it would be excruciatingly tedious) in javascript - although
it would be pretty marginal vis-a-vis security. I suppose the same could be
said for Flash.

Jyry,
you can do this in flash without any server backend but would be a security
risk. Someone with a Flash decompiler could decompile the swf file and see
the username & password.

A simple if statement: if username = the correct username and password =
correct password then let then pass.

I wouldn't do this because it is a huge security risk.

Yep. This too -

None of the client-side methods are very secure.

Okay, now I've done my loginpage with Javascript (pretty nice) and it's time
for another question... So, is there any possibility to redirect user to that
loginpage if he/she tried to enter directly to that protected page? I mean that
user have to login every time when he/she is trying to get on that page...

Thank you!
