Is it possible with WAM? - Post ID...

I have the registered version, but I don't think what I need is possible. I need to have my users go to a specific page once they login. Is this possible? I don't want user A to even see User B's special page, so it really wouldn't make sense for me to make a generic page with links to user specific pages and then protect those pages. Is it possible? And if not, any suggestions??

Thanks!

Sorry, but htaccess does not support something like that. It would be nice if it did ;)

I must be missing something, but I thought WAM or maybe it was the other password program allowed for you to indicate which page you wanted a specific user to visit once you granted them permissions?

No, that is not possible with htaccess. You can do it with Password Wizard however.

Password Wizzard. That was what I was thinking of.

Quentin, I had a similar problem and was already using Password Wizard before adding WAM to my toolkit.

1. Users would log-in with Password Wizards which took them to their own redirect page.
2. Once there, they clicked on the link they wanted, and WAM kicks in.

It's a bit cumbersome, because users have to log-in twice, but may offer what you want to do.

Maybe integrating these functionalities but with a single log-in could become a wish list item.

I also used the password wizard to solve this, but to protect the other pages I did something a little different than the double of password wizard and WAM like Rob Roy posted above.

I create a sub folder using a 4 digit number that identifies the folder and its user for me, inside of this folder is another folder with a randomly generated 10 digit number for its name, and then the user page is loaded within there. The user page name is also a random number combined with the username (ex. 6573892-username.html). What this does is makes it nearly impossible for another user to guess the url to other peoples pages. It isn't fool proof, but for a simple system containing no real sensitive info that's what I chose to do.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
