Validation to protect a page...help needed!

[btn]

Hi. Using ASP/Acsess/VBscript I need a validation or something to prevent
that a user who is logged in on my system with usename and password -
MM_Username - dont 'Cut and Paste' a specified link in the browser to acsess a
another page. The user must instead navigate through 2 other secure pages to
get acsess to this page - page number 3 in the line. (In other words; I must
be sure that user have been visiting page number 2 before he is automatic
redirected to page number 3. Not 'jump' to page number 3 from page number 1
with the cut and paste method. All users are already logged in with username
and password. ) Is this possible? Bjorn.

It is possible.
Thinking quickly, you could append another Session variable to exists when
they visit the pages. Therefore, if 2 out of 3 session vars don't exist it
will redirect them back to a page you choose.

Hope that helps.

Use the User Authentication suite built in DW if you are using ASP.or JSP or ColdFusion.
Combine the Log In User with the Restrict Access To Page

This is quite possible. The best method is to check that the http - referrer
reference on page 3 is page 2 otherwise throw them to page 1. The exact code
will depend upon the server model being used.

FYI a pasted URL does not have a referrer so will alway fail the test.

The referrer is not always available, never rely on it.
