How to use cookies with Notes and the Web (continued)
Authenticating a cookie
A function called CheckCookie is included in the database, inside a script library called WebAuthentication. This script library, or the code inside it, can be copied to any other database requiring Notes/Web session authentication. To authenticate in a Web agent, simply call this function and test the result for true (authentication succeeded) or false (authentication failed). Here's the function:
' In Declarations, declare the script library
Use "WebAuthentication"
' In main code, make authentication
If CheckCookie("MyServerName","NWAuthen.nsf",Cookie$) Then
' successful authentication
Else
' failed authentication
End If
|
A sample Web agent, called SampleWebAgent, is included which accepts an &X parameter from a Web browser, calls the CheckCookie() function and reports whether authentication succeeded or failed.
In order to run this sample agent from the Web, you must first sign the database with your own signature and set the rights for user anonymous to Reader. This is a simple administrative task. If you don't have a Notes administrator on hand, it can also be accomplished by simply editing the agent (even if the change is only adding a line) and saving it again.
