Hello!
I've read quite a few articles about user managment with both sessions and/or cookies but I really haven't found one that suites me. I use ASP (yes, I have asked this question on all the ASP forums) but I don't think the programming language really matters. I just want to know the technique. This is the most difficult question:
If I store the userID and password(md5) in a cookie, I have to check if the password is correct from my database on every single "members only" page. Is there a way to avoid this??? I mean, isn't there another way of checking if the cookie is "the real thing" and that the user haven't edited/hacked the cookie in any way?
Please help!
There must be someone that has experienced the same problem!
