Login to access application

[techas400]

I would like to create a login rpg(RPG III) where once user name and password are entered,only if these values are found(hardcoded username and password exists in database) the user is logged in and moved to second display screen of menu which further navigates to other modules,

Once logged in the second screen must show the username and status as "Online" for the remaining session.Only after a function key like F7 is pressed should he be able to log out.

How can i achieve this?

NEVER EVER hardcode passwords in a table or elsewhere where everybody can read it!

Well this is being used for testing purposes.Its a dummy application for testing purposes.Though i'd appreciate if u cud assist with the logic.

Re: Login to access application

You shouldn't test with situations that should never happen...

Again No one here wants to write your code for you.... NO ONE.

Please make some kind of effort to write the code yourself.
If you have problems post the code and we will review it and help.

But it is disrespectful to ask us to write your code

Tom, Cognos on sql 2005. I am a fan and not a fan of cognos. Very powerful and most of the times I don't see the need to use it. Especially for reports. On the other hand building cubes for the users to take offline on trips is way cool.

Re: Login to access application

Guys is it possible to have a way of maintaining a session of the logged in user.Like if a user has entered username and pwd and got verified he is allowed access to the menu and the rest of modules.I wud like to have the name of user on each screen.The *user that can be used is very much different thing,what are the other ways of achieving this?

Re: Login to access application

are you asking about writing a menu system that secures menu options by userid?

[techas400]

Re: Login to access application

Yeah right.Any idea how to go about it?

[jamief]

Re: Login to access application

sure.... but I think there are already some out there.

You need to create a table that matched userid's to program names and/or menu options

i subfile screen -- or more depending on ????
RPG program to be attached to userid and called at login.

this program read the table created above and presents a set of menu's with options.
