I'm just starting the design phase of a new website for a favorite charity and could use some guidance. I'm still at the cocktail napkin and pencil stage of development, so a lot of flexibility is still available. First off, I'm using the tools I have on hand; upgrading or buying better tools is out of the question. The development will be done using VB.Net 2003 and Access 2000/2003 and hosting will be on an ASP.Net enabled site.

I want the design to include a public section available to anyone, and a section accessible to members only, via username and password stored in an Access database. Most of the site content, public and private, will be in the same database. The member login will establish the user's level of access - view, change, administer the site - public visitors will have no access to private areas. The functions and information available to each member will be controlled by entries in a local table, Users, specifying the member's role on the site, and the whole database will be password protected. Therein lies the question. This master password will have to be embedded in the script code somewhere to enable the application to open its own tables to verify user status. I'm concerned about this password being discovered by bots and hackers.

I realize that nothing is perfect, but what is currently the best practice for this sort of thing? Should I save it in an Application-level variable? Embed it in a server script? Hide it in a stored procedure and pray that no one ever stumbles across the name of the proc? What is considered best practice for this sort of thing? I know it's done all the time, but I haven't done it yet myself. Thanks for any guidance...
