DataLive Setup - How it Works

DataLive; How it Works

1. The user accesses the web site login page and types their username and password.
2. The firewall/router provides the first level of security, and routes legitimate requests to the web server (3).

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "NEXT" to continue.

3. Next, the web server (3) executes a program that sends the username and password to the database server (5) for verification. The database server returns the company name, access code, and user first name and last name to the web server if the username and password match a valid login in the database. If there is no match, access is denied.
4. The web server then creates a web page for that user, and sends a request to the database server for the "open load" data that user is entitled to.
5. The link (4) between the web server and the database server is not directly accessible from the internet. If the web server and database servers are in different locations, this connection must be secure, and use strict authentication and encrypt data requests and responses.
6. Then the web server formats the data and inserts it into an HTML page and sends the result to the client.
7. Further client requests are handled in the same way. The request is sent to the web server which executes a program which requests the required data from the database server. The program on the web server receives the data from the database server and creates an HTML web page including the formatted data. The web page is then sent to the user.
