Web security question.
I have a survey web app that anonymous users edit and amend data. They are send a link like the following :-http://www.domain.com/db.nsf/View/documentid
They navigate about the site using views (with form formulas on them to amend form) and a docid.
here’s a valid url for a user :-
http://www.domain.com/db.nsf/View2/documentid
if they omitted the docid they would be able to see all documents in the view.:-
http://www.domain.com/db.nsf/View2/
how can i stop then seeing all docs in the view ??
I’m also looking for a doc that will tell me how to tie down my web app, any pointers appreciated.

I’ve found that using depositer / write only access for anonymous, works for our survey application.
Do you need them to return to the page later after posting and make additional changes?

One way is to provide a phoney view template form that redirects to, or looks just like, a standard “the URL is not valid” page. View templates are described in Designer Help.I posted an interesting link here in response to a previous question about web security.
