Simple Page Restriction Code Needs Changing

I have a simple script on a page to restrict access based on whether the person is logged in to the site or not, it is:

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>
<%
If Session(&quot;MM_UserName&quot;) = &quot;&quot; Then
Response.Redirect(&quot;../badpage.asp?pagetype=1&quot;)
End If
%>
<html>.................................

I'd like to make it so that only someone (say their log in name is jonathan) can see the page.

How do I do that? I tried
<%
If Session(&quot;MM_UserName&quot;) = &quot;jonathan&quot; Then

but that didn't work, it was as if the code wasn't there at all, anyone can see the page.

No, I figured if anyone tried getting on that page and their cookie was not set (i.e., they were not logged in as jonathan), they would get the redirect page.

hmm....
if I get this right then set a variable (local) in the page
dim loginPerson
loginPerson = &quot;jonathan&quot;

' as stated there has got to be some way for you to be logging in the users. so perform the same type of function as you did there as you seem worried about session variables. ie: select from the DB where = to jonathan
if you are at EOF then the condition fails and you response.redirect them

hope that helps _________________________________________________________

If you already have all the login pages and stuff like that set up then all you need to do is change the security header on the page that you wish to restrict to one username slightly as shown below

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>
<%
If Session(&quot;MM_UserName&quot;) <> &quot;jonathan&quot; Then
Response.Redirect(&quot;../badpage.asp?pagetype=1&quot;)
End If
%>
<html>.................................

That way, anyone who's username does not equal (<>) jonathan will be redirected to the badpage.asp

Question:

The code above worked great BUT it is requesting jonathan login before every single page! How do I make it hold the jonathan value? The original code does it just fine, you only need login once.

Thanks!

beacuse the code given by AdmanOK will allow only &quot;jonathan&quot; and not other users. Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

But once jonathan is logged in, all the pages that contain the code below, shouldn't require him to login again should it? Because THAT is what is happening.

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>
<%
If Session(&quot;MM_UserName&quot;) <> &quot;jonathan&quot; Then
Response.Redirect(&quot;../badpage.asp?pagetype=1&quot;)
End If
%>
