MX2004 User Authentication: Access Denied

[yep29]

Hi,

i am using the dreamweaver mx 2004 user authentication scripting...and it
actually works, but very often users get an access denied url like this:
anmelden.asp?accessdenied=%2Fak%2Fadressen%2Finfor mationen2%2Easp
but - users are logged in. also another issue is that after login the page is
not redirecting to the URL that was given in the script but it is just going
back to the homepage. dont know why, sometimes it works, sometimes not

i am using asp classic, vbscript an access database and brinkster.com for
hosting

anyone knowes how to fix this? any caching issues? any user authentication
alternative out there that doesnt require scripting?

thanks, mark

Typically, sessions expire after 20 minutes of inactivity. You can change
the value through your control panel (maybe, depending on your host), or by
using the Session.Timeout property.
Also, if Brinkster hosts your site on a server farm, the session information
may not be available if the user's request goes to a different server than
the one he logged in on. "Sticky sessions" don't come into play until
ASP.NET, or with some (expensive) add-ons that would need to be installed on
the servers.

I can't imagine they'd offer ASP hosting and then not take session state
into account, though.
