Hello - This is my first post, but I've lurked here awhile. I'm working on a project developing process documentation diagrams for a company. There will be approximately 300 diagrams in four "levels" when this is all done. By levels, I mean there will be more generic "overview" processes, then some of the steps in these will be broken out further, and then some of those steps broken out still further.
This is all being done in Visio. When it's complete, it need to be publsihed to a secured website, where only company employees can access it. Each user will be given a username and password to access the info. The layout for the site will be simple, with a tree navigation structure built on the left, and the documents on the right. Users will have the ability to search for documents using Visio's built-in search function.
Here's the problem I've run into: Visio exports HTML documents fairly well, and from an admin standpoint, this is the easiest for us. However, how would I go about password protecting the documents so that non-employees can't access them? I thought about .htaccess, but that's cumbersome, and the company will be adding/removing users pretty regularly. So we'd like to do the whole thing in ASP, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Visio to write ASP stuff. I'm not a programmer at all, but am working with someone who is. Unfortunately, they aren't web-programming savvy, so we're trying to figure this out each knowing a little, but neither knowing a lot.
Any ideas? Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks in advance for any help.
