Password Protection (Hardcoded Value)

There are many ways to provide limited access to an active server page. The most reliable would involve NT authentication. However, setting up all the resources can be a bit much for some of your simpler security needs. The following example is the simplest way to provide low-level security to an asp application. There is only one password that will grant access to the restricted content of the page (codeave) that is hard-coded into the script.

<%
u_password=request.form("u_password")

' Checks the value of the password being submitted
' If the password is correct then the restrict access content will display
select case u_password
case "codeave"
%>
Restricted content to be displayed to properly registered users only
<%
case else
' Checks to see if the user has submitted a password or if one was submitted
' If there is no value in u_password field or if it is anything
' other than codeave then the input form will display
' prompting the user to input the appropriate information
if (u_password <> "codeave" and u_password <> "") then
' If the password submitted in not null then display a message
' informing the user that an incorrect password was supplied
response.write "The password you have entered is incorrect"
end if
if (u_password <> "codeave" and u_password = "") then
' If the password submitted is not null then display a message
' informing the user to enter a password
response.write "Please Sign-In"
end if
