Set Maximum number of LOG IN failures

Question

I have password protected pages and would like to find a way
to limit the number of failed login attempts by a user. Is there
code to use. I am using DW 8 in ASP and the 'LOG IN USER' server
behavior. I am recording the 'REMOTE_ADDR' server variable and the
time-date of the login. Can this help i would like to block a IP
address for a set time if more than 3 log in attempts fail. Goto

username; admin
password; 1234
Thanks MikeL7

Answer 1

Have your login form send users to a second script page....
<form name="form1" method="post"
action="secondpage.asp">
... that compares results against the database and adds
criteria based on the failed response, and redirecting users
appropriately.
rs("LastLogin") = date()
rs("ip") = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")
rs("loginstatus") = "blocked"
rs.Update
You can update fields into that users recordset when they
login. Add fields into the DB table as needed (above is just an
example of criteria you may wish to capture)
Add the redirects based on your recordset queries
if ip = "" THEN
response.redirect "whereever they are going.asp"
elseif ip = "duplicate ip address" THEN
response.redirect "failed logins .asp"
else
response.redirect "login.asp?err=true"
end if
You can get as fancy or simple as you want. for example, you
could have multiple criteria for each response redirect. You just
have to make sure you define the variables...
ip = rs("ip")
or
session("name") = rs("name")
etc.
Make sense? Ditch the premade stuff that dreamweaver uses and
create your own login scripts.
