Dreamweaver supplies a full
complement of server behaviors to support authenticating the user against a specified data source. The user
authentication server behaviors are not available for .NET.
Log In User
The Log In User server behavior redirects authorized users to one page and unauthorized users to another
and creates a session variable for the username.
Requirements: A recordset, a form, appropriate form elements for a username and a password, and a
Submit button.
1. From the Server Behaviors panel, click the Add (+) button and choose User Authentication ??? Log
In User. The Log In User dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 34-13.
