There are numerous applications where authentication is required, from subscription services to basic access control. To optimize overall security, performance and flexibility, our system uses a combination of a .DLL written for Microsoft IIS 5.0+, ISAPI, and ASP files. The end result is the ability to control your content the way you want to while being able to program your own interfaces and access techniques. Users can get authenticated using either web page dialogs or the somewhat abrupt-looking "logon screen". You can code web pages that if entered from somewhere other than the logon screen will redirect the user to the logon screen, removing any concern about who the user is during your application development process.
In addition, you can integrate this component with the transaction services and scheduler to create very powerful online applications.
Some applications you might be asked to code...
- Protect .zip and .pdf files and other downloads.
- Pay Per Downloads
- Subscription Services
- Customized Web Mail
- Authenticated Forums / Discussions / Chat
- Project Management Applications
Now it's easy and painless!
A quick example might be an online magazine. Let's say you have people that visit this web site based on it having subscription content. Here are your steps:
- Create your subscription content.
- Create a New Member Signup area to accept credit cards or checks.
Note: The new member area schedules payments based on time you can make optional to the customer. Monthly, Quarterly, every 10 days, whatever.
- Setup the scheduler to maintain logon / passwords based on successful payments...
This is a simple 1-step process. Go to Scheduler Screen and give it the URL of your ASP page for any maintenance you might want to do on new accounts or terminations.
- Create a Cancel Subscription Page
You're done!
