The second process of authentication is programmatic and involves that at least various portions of the site use a server side scripting dialect like PHP, JS, ASP, or Cold Fusion. This process particularly uses outlines inserted within a web page to show the user login screen. Programmatic authentication is more adaptable than web server-based authentication, and is more probable to be used when an interface to external folder information, like an LDAP server, is needed. Whatever method of authentication is used, precise care should be given to the site in which the user information is kept. Whether in a file or database, access to the usernames and passwords should be as limited as possible.
