0, In this demonstration, you will see how to connect
4, to a Web server that has Anonymous logon disabled.
8, When you go to a page in a Web server with
10, Anonymous disabled, you're prompted for a valid NT
13, account and password. For example, Student is a valid
18, account on this Web server. After you've entered an
26, account name and password, not only are you allowed
29, to access the pages in the Web site, but server-
32, side script can read the user name you entered and
34, use it to customize the Web pages. For example, this
38, Web page reiterates the name that I used to logon
42, with. Another page in this Web site also uses
46, that information to customize the type of information
50, that can be read from a database. Because I've
54, logged on as Student, I'm given a list of all the
57, classes and the students that are registered for
59, those classes. I can go to the page grades.asp, and
66, this time logon as "Instructor," which is another
74, valid account for this Web server, and the information
79, retrieved from the database is the students and
81, their grades. Let's take a look at the source for
85, this page to see how it's done. This is the page
91, grades.asp. This is the line of server-side script that
96, retrieves the logon account of the user requesting
98, the page. Here we compare that logon account with
104, the string "instructor." If instructor is
107, logging on to this page, then we retrieve the student ID
111, and the grade from the Enrollment table.
113, Otherwise, we only retrieve the class ID and the student ID
117, from the Enrollment table. So, you have seen how
122, to logon onto a Web server that has Anonymous turned
125, off and how to use that logon information in
128, Active Server Pages.
