Hi guys,
I have a question that I know has been asked in one way or another before in this forum. However, I have not found answer that satisfies my needs so I thought I would ask the question again.
When I develop a Web app for one of my clients using the Java platform, one of the first things I do is to make sure that only authorize users can access this app.
So, A simple algorithm of how this would work would be as follows:
1. User accesses login screen and enters credentials
2. The user credentials are validated against stored data in a database
3. If credentials correct continue else, return to step 1
4. Credentials are correct so store loginKey value in “cookie” and go to home page
5. When a user tries to access a resource, menu, form, page, button etc, then read cookie value (loginKey)
make sure user has access. If access ok then continue else, error message
I’ve tried to define the issue in the simplest way I know how. If this issue has already been resolved, then please direct me to post/page.
Please keep in mind that I want to develop an app in Zoho Creator, make it public and have my own custom login screen.
Thanks.
