Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to do in order to use SecurityAssist?
To use SecurityAssist you will need to have the following in place:

  1. A site defined in Dreamweaver that includes the Testing Server settings.In the Testing Server section, you must specify the Server model and Access.

  2. Have a page open in Dreamweaver that has been saved within your defined site and matches the server model you specified.
  3. You must have a connection defined to a database. SecurityAssist authenticates based on information in your database, requiring a connection to be configured before you can use the tool.

Once you have done these things you will be able to use the SecurityAssist wizard in your site.

How do I make use of the random password feature of SecurityAssist?
From the bindings tab, choose Add > SecurityAssist > Random Password. This will add the binding to your list of available bindings. To apply this binding, drag and drop it onto your page. Once dragged to your page, the configuration screen will appear where you can set the parameters for the random password that is created.
How do I restrict access to a particular page in my site?

Once you have used the SecurityAssist Quick Insert to create the login and other pages, you can limit access to pages using the Access Rules Manager and Access Page Manager.

Select Modify from the Dreamweaver menu, and then choose SecurityAssist. Create the access rules you desire with the Access Rules Manager.  Then, restrict access to particular pages using the Access Page Manager.

Can I set session variables with user's values from when they login?
In the SecurityAssist Authenticate User server behavior you can configure session variables to be set on the final step. In this final step of the server behavior you can add a session variable for any columns in your users table. This can be very useful if you want to store the username, or email address in a session variable, then you can show these details on any page you want without having to create a new Recordset on those pages.
Do I have to use the login form created by SecurityAssist?

If you use the SecurityAssist wizard the login page along with the server behavior will be created for you.

If you want to use your own login form on a page that was not created by SecurityAssist, you can do so by applying the Authenticate User server behavior from the Server behaviors panel.
