Hi,
We're using TIdHTTPServer (Indy 10) to make a webinterface for our
(database) application. We need some sort of authentication
(usernames+passes are stored in our database).
A way of authentication that come to my mind is to generate a UID, mark it
as authenticated in our database, and write it in a cookie. But I'm sure
there are plenty of other, better ways that also work when a client doesn't
accept cookies. Does anyone has more information about this? What is an
easy and straightforward way of authentication for TIdHTTPServer (Indy 10)?
Thanks in advance,
M.
