Authentication Page for signin and registration.

[sjminnis]

Scenario:

User visits site. First page they see is a welcome page with two options - [1] Sign In and [2] Register.

If user selects [2] Register, then get a datapage [register] that accesses the table [registered users]

included are first name, last name, email, password, telephone, etc. User enters information.

If the user selects [1] Signin, they get a datapage [signin] that accesses the table [registered users]

The goal of this page [1] Signin is to authenticate users against the registered users table and then direct them to a main page [homepage]. [users have access and are permitted to view additional content].

Once they are authenticated then they should be able to view all the content and indeed content can be made specific to them [they can access, edit any information they provided prior]

I've followed the documentation for web user authentication with the net result that after applying authentication and defining the username and password fields, I continue to get 'unable to authenticate' errors.

I've double checked the settings and deploy code, etc, etc. but I'm wondering if the method of enabling a user to access content needs to be changed to align with how the bridge works with authentication.

Has anyone been able to [1] implement such a scenario or [2] make any recommendations on how to setup the pages to replicate this type of scenario?

Hi sjminnis, Your goal can be achieved by protected DataPages. Please follow the steps mentioned in this link: http://wp.me/P10x67-28 as well the series of videos here: http://wp.me/P10x67-fs .

You should have these two fields on your table first, username as a unique filed and second,password with "password" datatype.

Also make sure the registration form works properly so the username/password inserted correctly into the table. If you still unable to login please post the URL here to see if we can replicate the issue as well.
