Parent Class: custom

The wwUserSecurity class is a business object that handles managing users and logons using a FoxPro table. The class provides basic user administration features for adding, editing and deleting users and authenticating users through this user table. In addition the class can also work with NT security to validate users.

The wwLoginDialog and wwUserAdminDialog classes provide UI and HTML services for Authentication and Administration dialogs.
