Storing info on servers

Hey guys, so basically what I want to go about doing is I want to store login info for computers on a server. And the computers ask the server if the login is correct. Does anyone know how I could go about doing this? I'm not asking for a program to do this. Just for someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks :)/>

Have a table store all the login info. Then have the server constantly wait for rendet messages that then checks to see if the username is in the table, if so then check to see if the password is correct, if so send a message back saying it is true.

Could you also point me in the right direction a little further? :P/> (If that made any sense?)

I'll right you some basic code for it.

local logins = {
  ['username'] = 'Hello',
  ['Helloworld123'] = 'password123'
}

That would be the basic table.
Then you would just want a split function to split the message. The message would be sorta like this "Login:USERNAME:PASSWORD". Hope that explains more.

Sure did, thanks.
