ADSI Caching In ASP
how (or if it's even possible) to cache the results of an ADSI call in asp for a longer period of time. Basically what I am doing is I have a website that loads the 'full
name' of the user that logs into it. Once the user full nam ehas been retreived (using adsi) the user can reload the page and it appears to just check a cached version of the request (since the page loads very fast).
If however the user waits a bit longer (maybe 5 min) and reloads the page it will take upto 4 secs to load the page (since the adsi call is being resubmitted). Is there anyway to increase the length of time that adsi info is cached?

we are developing an intranet application(web based)which needs to detect the logged in user ID of the user hitting the website.the intranet is huge and based on win2k active directory(around 20-30 different domains)with 25K+ users.i dont want to use "NT challenge response" for this pupose.
I am exploring ways using ADSI and WMI to query the Active directory by using the IP address in the incoming web request and trying to figure out the user ID logged into that machine how is it possible?

This is ASP and ASDI I think or just ASDI.. Not quite sure...BUt i have a script that will create a site in IIS 6.0 the code is:
set objRoot = objNew.Create ("IISWebVirtualDir", "Root")
objRoot.Path = "z:inetpubwwwroot" & UserName
objRoot.SetInfo
But instead of the absolute I want to set it up for a share on another computer with the path jotts2cinetpubwwwroot & userName . With the login Credentals of username admin password admin <<Just example. If everyone is like eh'. Free hosting to the person that figures it out.

I have found some code that authenticates users agains a domain using ADSI.
I then redirect to another page and pass the username they have entered as a
string. However, it would be nice to also get their full name from Active
Directory once authenticated. Can anyone suggest how I may modify this code
to achieve this? I would also like to pass their full name to the next page
as a string. The code I found: Code:

I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of
you have experience with this kind of stuff
I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their
own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to
create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish
this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions?
Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these
directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the
script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?

I use the following ASP code to access Active Directory's property:
Dim objUser
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://myDomain/UserId")
I can get objUser.FullName. But when I try to get objUser.Division, there
occurs an error. Can you tell me how to get objUser.Division?

Has anyone ever experienced any problems authenticating with an ADSI application where after so long it stops responding. I can not track down what is causing the problem. I have a login page that uses the following code. This is running on a windows 2003 domain controller currently. If I put it on a windows 2000 member server I get this error way more often.
Dim oADsObject
Set oADsObject = GetObject(strADsPath)
Dim strADsNamespace
Dim oADsNamespace
strADsNamespace = left(strADsPath, instr(strADsPath, ":"))
set oADsNamespace = GetObject(strADsNamespace)
Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUserName, strPassword, 1)
It authenticates fine, but after so long the login page stops working. If I restart the application pool the page starts to work again. I have a volume of about 500-700 users authenticated at any given time. Should I be authenticating a different way?

First the brief: I'm currently developing an intranet at work. We have approximately 3000 users and they keep forgetting their passwords. We have 3 Tech-Support guys who keep having to reset them. The idea was to build a function in to the intranet to allow department heads to be able to reset other users passwords via asp.
All well and good. After a fair bit of reading, I've acquainted myself with the basics of talking to Active Directory and retrieving various objects, properties and values.
My problem is that when I try to update any of the objects (i'm focusing on the .description property at the moment 'cos when I break it - that's not gonna matter so much) But when I try and SetInfo, I get a General Access Error. My ServerVariables("LOGON_NAME") is empty. I was wondering if there was a way to force an asp page to run as the server administrator 'cos obviously when department heads login, we don't want all of them to be AD Admins. All they should be able to do is run my script to reset a password.
I'm not actually the server admin, and don't really know the specifics of IIS, but can I just tell it to run specific scripts as domainadmin? Or can I pass something in the asp headers to force it to authenticate as admin?

In the intranet system I'm building I need to draw information about Staff and integrate it into Department pages, and make it accessible via querystrings (so users can search for names). I've asked my IT department how to do this and they basically said "ask the internet"
So, if I want to access such information, where do I start? I cant find any tutorials that answer my questions, and feel a bit out of my depth regarding what I'm even meant to be asking. So basically... help! What's should be my plan of action!
I need to :
A) draw names, phone numbers, email addresses to show on relevant department pages.
B) Make a facility to search staff names to bring up similar information.

I have a script that I have set up to display users and their account status in an asp page, using adsi, then the web viewer can enable and disable accounts using this page. The problem I have is the anonymous user that IIS logs in with does not have the privileges to change accounts etc for active directory.
So, I made my server into an SSL server and made it ask for credentials using basic authentication. All works well for administrator as when the admin username and password are used, the script then runs with admin rights.
(as this is only a test server I can mess with all security etc before wrecking the real server!!) I delegated control to an OU that I wish to control with ASP and went and logged in as one of the users that was delegated control, but that says the script does not have the rights.
So, in effect, the script will not work unless I put in the admin username and passwords. I even delegated control to one user rather than a group but that still don't work. Any ideas please? Is it IIS, AD or ASP that is at fault?

I'd like to be able to list IIS websites and information in a web page
(presumably using ADSI). Similar to the list you get in the MMC plug-in.
Does anyone have a simple script I could start with? I'm only interested in
reading info at the moment.

I'd like to get some user account properties using .asp script. When I try
to use ADSI WINNT provider it works fine except that I apparently cannot
access some properties such as objUser.managedObjects. I have this simple
code:
<%
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Users,CN=FisrtName
LastName,DC=MyDomain,DC=com")
For Each strValue in objUser.managedObjects
Response.Write "This: " & strValue & "<br>"
Next
%>
As a VBS script it works fine but as an ASP page I cannot get the object
initialized. Is it problem with syntax or something else? I'd like to avoid
using .NET Framework and ADO connection as well if possible. All I really
need is to get list of managedObjects.

My users logon to the Patriot domain, my intranet is on sdsddata01 server. I have a form that people have to click on a dropdown list to pick their name from the list when submitting a form. Is there any way to grab their username via ADSI so I can query it against a database that will get submitted against a form.
I have seen a few arcticles regarding this but I couldn't make sense of them. They are already authenticating when they login, so I don't want them to have to do it again once they hit the intranet. Is this possible using ADSI? Will I have to make some permission changes in IIS as well?

I am looking at the ability for a user on my website to add/remove/edit windows user accounts, thus controlling access to my website. I have integrated windows authentication checked on the website and unchecked anon access in IIS, so I am always asked for a username and password.
I have seen some ADSI scripts that I can use in my ASP pages to manipulate local user accounts. However, when I try and use these they dont work as I need to have admin rights. Of course I don't wish to add the user to the admin group for security reasons....
Anyone have a code snippet to do this?

I am working on building a tool Using ASP/COM & IIS5.1 for a
non-administrative technical support team to change domain passwords for
users. I have the basic interface built and working from my developement
machine (Windows XP Pro SP 1A) which is hosting the pages for now. The
problem is that when I try to access the site from a browser on a different
pc using my credentials (IIS is running in Windows Authentication), it
appears that the ADSI queries stop working and I get the following errors:
a.. Error Type:
(0x8007200A)
/ASP_TEST.ASP, line 64
which corresponds with a code that queries Active Directory for a particular
OU to return the users within that OU.
I am a newbie to ASP developement so maybe I am missing something really
trivial, like can I even accomplish this task in this manner?

Just recently we have encountered a weird problem with our
webserver...running IIS 5 and W2000 SP4
When testing an ASP page, if you get an error of some sort in your browser,
when you go into the code and fix the problem, save the changes, when you
refresh the page, the error stays there, even though the code is correct.
The problem is not fixed until you rename the page, and the open it in your
browser to work fine??

We have a website that reads data from Oracle and creates an XML file. Then
the site uses that file to access the info faster. On IIS5 we have no
problems, but on IIS6 we seem to have some caching issuses. This deals with
the Worker Processes. By default, there is only 1 Worker Process that gets
recycled after 1700 minutes or so. The problem is, that we will select some
data from the screen, which opens up another window to update the info. We
walk through the update process and change some data and it updates the page
fine. We can even check the XML file and it is changed, but if you choose to
go back into that data, the dropdowns will reflect whatever was initially in
the XML not the changes. If I increase the number of Worker Processes and
shorten their recycle time, this doesn't seem to be a problem, but for every
request I am generating a 25M file on the server that eventually gets
recycled. I don't want to load up the memory with useless files, but I want
our application to reflect the correct data. I really need to do this without
affecting any other possible web apps that may be on the box.

Never had this problem before, but my SSI's in an ASP page are caching. I don't think ASP has anything to do with it mind you. I think it's a server issue (I've never really used this hosting company before).
Is there any way (ASP or otherwise) that anyone knows of stopping a web server caching your SSI's. It's VERY annoying!

We have an IIS cluster running an ASP website. We installed the patch listed under Q239703 that allows IIS to recognize script updates and appriately not cache those ASP pages. However, since we made this change, any office documents that a user tries to download exhibit the problem listed in Q316431. We do not use any of the caching commands listed in this article (Pragma: no-cache OR
Cache-control: no-cache,max-age=0,must-revalidate). In fact we do not have anything set in the code at all with regards to caching, and the only this i can come up with is the change we made from Q239703, which is needed to stop IIS from caching ASP based pages

We are attempting to cache asp web pages in our isa server from the local county property appraiser web site to speed up access, with a 60 minute TTL (time to live).
This doesn't seem to be working - at least the pages aren't coming up any faster. Is there anything in asp that could be preventing the pages from being cached locally?

What is the best way to cache images, and stylesheets on an asp site? I currently use a .asp extension on all my pages because I use include statements to keep certain parts of my layout the same(menu, logo, footer). I have read that asp doesn't cache pages by default, and that they are processed everytime on the server. This can eat bandwidth up pretty fast.
There also seems to be a few ways to cache a page (response.expires, cache-control, public, using meta tags, and a few more).

I have a page were data can be filtered using up to 4 listboxes. Once
someone does a filter, those parameters are saved so when they come back
to the page on a subsequent visit, the listboxes are filled for them.
There is a slight performance issue if all listboxes are set to 'All'.
Can the Cache Object be used for data that is static but filtered? If
so, how? The data that is being filtered is updated once a month and I
am not using the .NET platform.

I have an application which allows users to check in/check out XML files from an MSSQL database. When checked out, the XML file resides on a network drive. This allows users to edit the file. When checked in, the XML file resides in the database etc..
Anyway - the process works fine, but after a couple of hours usage the checkin method stops working. No matter what you change in the XML file it does not update.
Checkin method:
Create FileSystemObject (FSO)
Retrieve 'Checked Out' File from the network drive using the FSO
Retrieve contents of file using ReadAll
Update database with new content
Kill FSO
THe FSO.ReadAll returns a cached/old version of the XML file. I can open the file in notepad and I can seee the changes made, but when I do a ReadAll on the file using FSO the change is not there...
The only way around this is to re-boot my PC. Is it possible the memory allocated to my application fills up and cannot create new instances? Anyone else experienced anything like this? The application is an ASP based Web Application and runs through IIS5.

I've had some periodic problems on certain (intranet)servers where IIS seems
to be caching thing in an unexpected way, or is server cached pages where
new content is expected.
The first situation is where we have a standard Top + Left + Content
framset; the left frame contains a menu which shows standard options - when
the user logs in, extra menu options are available to them, depending on
their priveleges. The menu is generated from a DB in ASP, and when the user
logs in, Javascript is used to reload the page in the left frame - eg.
re-generate menu based on logged-in user.
This used to work on all servers, but at some point in time I found that
people were logging in but were stuck with the standard menu. If we
right-clicked in the menu and chose refresh, often the correct (eg expanded)
menu would be shown.
I'm not sure where the problem is IIS or could be controlled in ASP...
The second problem is on my development machine; when I browse to my
development copy of the intranet, I dont get the icons for each menu item.
However, when I browse to the live Intranet system, the correct graphics are
shown.....

I have 2 asp pages, the first displays a drop down which it's source is from a db, user picks a value, submits to the next page. Currently if the user hits back picks a different value and submits again, the same original value is submitted again, not the newly select value...
I see lots of things talking about caching, wondering if there is something I can do so if the user goes back, using their back button, that if they select the new value and resubmit, that the new value is used and not the original value, I may have said that in a very long winded way, just wanted to be clear..
