Thanks for the replies.

Some stuff I didn't quite know about.

That is why I posted to the group...

  Hello, folks!

      I am trying to design a login script / page for a set of administrative functions on my company's Intranet. I need something that is reasonably secure and I've been trying to rack my brains to come up with a scheme. These functions are for a bunch of look-up tables, a knowledge base, etc. I am looking for a little advice

  I am thinking something along these lines:

  default.aspx:
    ViewState("Attempt") - count attempt (if > 3 then try again after session expires)
    Session("Authenticated") - T or F
    Username and Password stored in MSSQL 2000 database
    User logs in.
  If Session("Authenticated") = T
    User gains access to admin pages...

      Okay, not a terribly complicated design but how do I limit the scope of the Session object?
  How do I set the session to expire in XX minutes?
  How do I have the session automatically expire if the user exits their web browser or visits another site?
  Should I use a Cache("...") object instead of Session("...") object?

  I know these may be trivial to the gurus but I've been trying to find a decent model to follow for my login script.

  TIA...
