Actually, most of the standard authentication systems based in accessible platforms don't cause any special problems. If you use a Java applet or something there are problems of compatiblity, but standard user-access controls in HTTP or via CGI can be built accessibly.

To reduce expenses they have asked me to investigate the possibility of establishing web sites that require paid membership privileges to access the information. As a relative beginner in the concept in accessibility design, I have been looking for a way to combine the need to protect the pages from unauthorized access and combine accessibility as suggested under the Bobby guidelines. One possibly way to accomplish this is by using a master frame set that links all of the membership protected pages. However, this seems to be an unacceptable approach under the accessibility guidelines. Has anyone encountered this design problem before? How did you solve the problem? Can you recommend any sites that utilize this concept that are accessible under the guidelines? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
