I need to protect some pages of the site with user and pass, but this is not a problem. I need information is there any possibility to tie this user and pass to a specific computer. Thats mean that this user cant access to specific location of the site from another computer.
Thank you, but this does not solve my problem. It have to be distributed a large amount of CDs with predefined users and passwords. This distribution I cannot control, so I still need answer on above question.
hmm... possibly cookies...? or something that checks if a certain file is on that computer..?
if you really want to get technical, write a program that generates a password, using a certain math technique, and one on your server that changes the users password so it matches the one generated on the users computer...
^ too hard to do, but if your a genius, you could pull it off
No, The only information you can get about a users computer is the browser version they are using, their os. And other basic information, there is no way to find out what hardware or software they have on their system (thank goodness). You might make an md5 of their browser, os, username some other information that you don't think will change or be indentical on more then one system.
