Newbies dana_d Posted December 5, 2001 Newbies Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hi, We have developed this database and hit apon a snag. We are using the web security database to restrict access to a website. Users register, and the username is generated from their first portion of their e-mail address. We have now discovered after using this system for about 2 months that the Web Security doesn't handle multiple usernames. Is there a way around this? Or is it a matter of making sure that there are always unique usernames? I assume I am going to have to add a script that checks to see if the username is already taken, and if so, append it.

Vaughan Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Aa far as I know, *no* system handles multiple usernames. When people register, validate the key field (e-mail in your case) to be not empty and unique. As for allowing people to add to the Web Security database themselves: isn't this in itself a huge security risk? On my systems on the admin can add/edit Web Security records.
