"login session"?

[ednayap]

hi,

 

i want to do a 'login session' for my users but i don't know how.

 

Im not too sure if its called "login session" but it does this:

 

a user logins through the login page and proceeds where he wants to. the address bar won't show the name of the forms he currently is but shows his 'login session'

 

any other users cannot visit any forms without logging in first..

 

any one knows what this is called? and how i can do it?

 

Tanx a lot

are you trying to use forms authentication for an app? can you give an example of what you mean by 'login session'? what do you expect to be displayed as the url?

[ednayap]

as in the users id will be saved through out the whole session ,...

maybe something like cookies.

 

and the url...prolly http://www.edna.com/login=edna

 

something like that..

i've seen someone doing that using asp.

im not too sure what it is called ..

If you use the standard forms authentication the user info will usually be stored in a cookie on the client. You can read more about it here. Then you can set the session duration in the config file, it's the attribute called "timeout" on the <forms> element.

server.transfer

 

using Server.tranfer(URL) will transfer the page to a different one without the client know the page is a different one.
