What this Control does

The A-Soft Login ActiveX Control gives you the possibility to use a login with or without password on your webpage WITHOUT using ANY server-side programs or scripts like CGI's or ActiveX Servers. To use the control you first have to generate a File which contains all Login and other data. Therefore you use the Login generation tool found below. You have to specify the login, the password and the additional data (e.g. the webpage or file you want to navigate after successful login), then you press the encrypt button to generate the c:\Encrypt.dat. If the file already exists the data is appended and you could make a multiple-logins file. This file you upload to your webpage and put an A-Soft Login Control on your page which has the PasswordFile property set to the name of the uploaded file. You then have to set the PasswordURL to your site's address. You may also specify a standard Password or login (like guest/guest). On your page you call the Display method. After the user used a correct Login/Password combination the corresponding Data will be set in the AdditionalInformation property and the CorrectPassword event will be fired. You then could browse to the page or data to which the AdditionalInformation points or use the Data in any other way you need. You, of course, may specify different AdditionalData for different logins (different access rights).

Attention: Under some circumstances this control is NOT as secure as a server side script or program.
