Can't say for sure without seeing the code for your Person1 page (or process method if this is a classic WW page) but it seems like you're allowing the page to display without invoking a call to the authentication routines. Somewhere in there, preferably early in the page loading process, you'd want something like this (assuming you're using the built-in security routines):
IF !Process.Authenticate()RETURNENDIF



A user of my WestWind page emailed me to say that he could bypass the login process completely once he had ever logged. He sent me a screen shot that shows: myalbat.org/Person1.alb?Id=%20%2020138204 in the address bar.

I types that into the address bar from my computer and it took me straight to his page - something I never should have been able to do. What have I missed? The last 6 digits of that address is the serial number of his record and if I change that number, I can see other people too.
