Login Websites

The website Login enables the Single Sign On (SSO) for many apps on Harm Frielink's Websites.

Introduction

Registration and authentication on Websites is necessary to be able to identify the user and to persistent store his preferences and his own data (See Why Registration).

The Websites I have created in the past and will create in the future all need this ability, authentication and access to data. All Websites need to ask you for your credentials (User-Id/Email and Password) creating a multiple access points for attacks by hackers.

When you have a single access point for entering that kind of information, the security for you can be made more simple and attacks can be monitored more easily.

The Website Login does exactly this.

Website Menu

The menu of the website has the topics

• Home
• Login or Logout
• Admin
• Help

Tab Home

The Home section shows information on the Web-Application such as:

• Introduction: Short intro on the Website's purpose.
• Registration: How to register on the Website.
• Guest usage: How the user can use the guest user without registration.
• Basic usage: How you can use the Web Application.
• FAQ, Wiki and On-Line-Help: Gives help on Frequently Asked Questions, Wiki Help and the WebApp inline help.

Tab Help

The Help sections has the sub-menu-topics:

• Login-Wiki-Help: The page you are looking in now.
• General Help: gives you the basic help on all topics on the Website self. You stay on the page never leaving the app.
• FAQ: gives you answers on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). If you don't find your answer here, please send me an email (See the FAQ for how to email me).
• Legal: Seems to be necessary nowadays, so I put his one in.
• Reload, will reload the Website. Seems odd, but sometimes you have to do so. I can not be responsible for closing down the browser, closing apps, restarting. Sometimes you need to this.
• About, all websites give you information on version etc.

Why registration

Registration and authentication on Websites are necessary to be able to identify the user and to persistent store his preferences/own data.
For instance a Game like F1-Augur have to know who the registered user is and to make sure that the user is who he is (authentication) before the Website can store his predictions/forecasts. That is the main purpose to be a registered user: to be able to store user's data (credentials and data) for the user's purpose of using a website.

Many people think that the Website owner/Website developer wants to know private data (i.e. credit card, financial data), but my Websites are free and I do not want to know that kind of data. Simple registration of your email address (for notification and authentication), your user-id (for identification) and your password (for you wants to access the site with tour private key).

What happens with your personal data? Nothing, I need them for the given purpose, and no one else needs to know about them.

To Do

More will be created soon.
