Other DAF Features:
- Compatible with Microsoft Windows 4.0 (i386 Only) and IIS 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0.
- Only ONE ODBC connection is used per database. This implementation choice gives HIGH PERFORMANCE and makes this product usable on HIGH TRAFFIC servers (also only one client license is required for the data base server).
- All users list can be a text file and/or ODBC data source (SQL server, Oracle, MS Access, FoxPro...). ODBC users list can be accessed in real-time to process each HTTP request, or a local copy (updated periodically) can be used: - with real-time mode, all modifications in the users list are active in real-time. - with periodic update mode, HTTP authentications will be processed even if your local network is OVERLOADED or TEMPORARILY DOWN.
- Write the date of last visit for each user for each HTTP request.
- Handle expiration date for each account.
- On error, DAF will send e-mail notifications to the DAF administrator.
- DAF users can be mapped to none, one or several NT registered Windows NT users. (You may have plenty of different logins for your WEB pages using only one Windows NT account).
- If a web user login is not found in the DAF users database, it is forwarded to IIS which will check the standard Windows NT users database.
- The last 100 users who have been logged are kept in a memory cache.
- Uses the Basic Authentication scheme ONLY.
- Works with NTFS formatted hard disk, or with FAT formatted (with File Access Controller).
