Example for setting up application users

Question

I would like to see an example application that handles the user access to that application (creat user,edit user, etc).
I've done a few searches here and seen what appear to be various parts of this issue but I must be missing the big picture, that is a complete howto of how to do that.
I follow the links through the messages and wind up with several windows open but no clear cut example that I've found.
I appologize in advance if I just missed an obvious link to such an example.

Bill,
Just a few comments about user accounts. I may be the loudest voice against using HTML DB user accounts for full-fledged production applications, mainly because it usually means more work (one more place to reset passwords, to maintain email addresses, to let the help desk know about, etc.), less security, and less utility than an LDAP directory, especially when a Single Sign-On solution is implemented around the latter in the enterprise.
For informal workgroup applications, development environments, one-off prototypes, all that stuff, we don't care what you use, that's why the developer accounts can be used to authenticate users into the applications that you build. Developers should take that capability as a "starter" solution, without expecting it to meet anything more than basic functional and security requirements. Hence the absence of recommendations from us about how to manage accounts; these chores are tangential to application development and there are already industrial-strength solutions available that we aren't trying to compete with.
I hope that sheds a bit more light.
