I was just looking things over and I noticed a new account under my users. It's and ASPNET user, (account used for ASP.NET worker process....) I hadn't noticed it before.
What is is? What does it do? Should it be disabled? Should I make any changes? Have been out of the loop for a while, could someone bring me up to speed.
How do you regenerate the ASP_NET login account? The password got changed which hosed everything. I can no longer see my web services and need to reset the ASP account. How do I do this?

View Replies View RelatedI am starting to use the ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit to initiate a website,
and have had an installation error - 'computerName/ASPNET account not found.'.
I am using XP Pro with IIS installed and according to documentation, this
should create the account, but it is not listed - It is needed as even
changing the folder permissions for the root folder to 'Everyone' will not
enable to connection from SQL Server to remote folders.
I have tried installing and uninstalling IIS to no avail. There are some
scripts to create the account but these are marked as suitable for .NET 1.1
only. I have .NET 2.0.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if there is a fix.
I've seen explainations on how to impersonate a non aspnet user when a web
page is called within an web application, but I have a different
impersonation issue.
I have a windows desktop application (not a web app) that is used by our web
administrator to control some of the web application's settings. It also
has some troubleshooting features. One feature that I'd like is to verify
that the aspnet user has some permissions to open some files and folders,
launch specific programs, etc.
In short, I'd like to impersonate the aspnet user (not the user running the
program) in the desktop application. Can I do this, and can it be done
without knowing the aspnet password?
I am developing a website with ASP.NET /C#. The items will render automatically based on their "catID". So that the URL will look similar to the example:
http://www.domain.com/index.aspx?catID=1
http://www.domain.com/index.aspx?catID=2
http://www.domain.com/index.aspx?catID=3
I'm using a javascript layer to display some items on this page. However, I want this layer to show only when caID=1. I'm a newbie when it comes to javascript. So, I was trying to get the url using "document.url" and use if statement to show/hide the layer. But that didn't work. Can anybody help or provide some useful hints

View Replies View RelatedDoes ASP only use the IUSR_<IIS Machine Name> to gain access to files
located on a LAN, or can another user account name and password be setup?
To create a file on another computer on the LAN in ASP using the
FileSystemObject requires permissions on that other computer. Using a DSN
for a ODBC driver requires permissions to SELECT records from a database
file on another computer on the LAN. Must I use the IUSR_ account only?
I have an application that references a database on my hard drive, however I am unsure how to transfer the files to the server and keep the integrity of the database reference string.
The Current DB is located on C:
[CODE]
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:database.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

If you have any suggestions on where to place my database in my hosting account and the reference code for it.
Using classic ASP I want to check if a username and password are correct
before passing the details on to an object (stocktake module) that uses
them to authenticate the object. The object defaults to a preset user if
the authentication fails and doesn't warn the user, so I wanted to do
the check manually before passing it to the object.
I was asked by a client to make changes for their Outlook Web Access page where I need to validate Expiry Date of the Password and also the Password Length for the NT Account Policy. Initially I use javascript to do a static validation for the password expiry and password length. There request now include dynamic changes to the Javascript where if the password length is changed on the NT Account Policy, it will reflect on the client side script. Also they request for server side validation as an alternate just in case.
Can someone point me to the resources available for this. I am stuck on this one for quite a while now and no idea on how to proceed?
I am working on a commercial ASP web application which use MS Access 2000 as database.When configuring the database access,I got an error saying that this
database is a read-only database.
I checked the database property,it shows that this database is archive,not read only.I can directly make change on the database using Access, so, my guess is the problem is not really database related, am I right?
According to the instruction of the software, the database folder must have read and write permissions given to the "anonymous web user account", I have set the database folder to share and gave all permissions to "anonymous logon " and "every one", but the problem is still there. I am just wondering, what is the "anonymous web user account" in Windows 2000 server and IIS?
I wrote this script which for now it works fine. The purpose of this code is to lock the account whenever a particular document comes to its expiration date. So, if I have a document that expired on 7/31/06, the it should lock the user's account once they'd logged in.
However, the problem I am having is that is locking everyone that has already an expired document. What I would like it for the code to check during the current month. If a document expired, say yesterday 8/9/06, lock the account, else let then user continue to access their account. Code:
I have this page in which emails will be send simultaneously, one is to

I am using the FileSystemObject to look at the contents of a directory. The process has always worked. Recently in an attempt to increase our security, we removed full rights for everyone to files on the D:. Now I only get a blank page.
Does anyone know what USER ACCOUNT is being used to access the folder. My guess is I need to grant access to some account.
I often have permission problems when I move my pages unto different servers.It would be very handy if I could programmatically determine the anonymous user account name from my asp page.How can this be done since it is not in the request header for anonymous requests?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to design a web application where people can create user Ids and passwords while signing up and then use that information to login to an account. (I know, very basic). I just can't get my mind around how to make this system most secure. the user id and password is verified at the time of logging in and at that point, I would like to create something like a session key before openning the new page.
I basically don't want to start the new page by passing regular parameters through the URL because that's very easy to manipulate and break. Can someone give me some information about creating a secure system like this and/or forward me some useful sources?? btw.. I'm using, IIS as my server, ASP.Net and VB.Net.
IIS set up after VS.NET. On a virtual directory for a web app...I go to properties and click on the 'Directory Security' tab, click the 'Edit' button,check
anonymous access, type in username/password for account, check 'Integrated Windows authentication' at the bottom...then OK out.
in web.config, I add the tag identity impersonate="true" />
startup the app in Page_Load I have...
string samp =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name;
firstload I get the account I typed in above...on postback it changes to my personal windows account. strange. Also when I switch on the anon user account for the whole website it works.
I have a typical internet web site that uses a VFP database on the back end which is accessed via ASP/ADO using the VFP OLEDB provider.
My ASP code for establishing a connection looked like this:
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
oConn.Open "Provider=vfpoledb;" & _
"Data Source=C:edsDATAedsdata.dbc;" & _
"Mode=ReadWrite|Share Deny None;" & _
"Collating Sequence=MACHINE;" & _
"Password=''"
Set cmdTemp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set rsUsers = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
It was working just fine. Then the need arrised to move the database off the web server box and onto a file server on the same domain. Code:
We have a simple asp page that query LDAP attribrute. Everithing is working fine using a native domain account. but when using an external account we have an error 70, acces denie.

- Domain/Forest B with external accounts.
- Forest A Trus Forest B and "Vice Versa"

- asp page is using basic authentification.
- Authentification work fine using native domain account or External

I don't know if this is a unique problem, or I'm going about it the
wrong way. I currently connect to one of our SQL servers via a

the following connect string, but I'm not sure how to specify the
domain in the string, or is there some other way?

Is it possible to use IIS 5.x software on WinXP/2K OS and VBScript to detect the logged in user account.

I'm looking for some best practices when it comes time to allowing a user to create an account for our web app. For example, a potential customer of ours would fill out an application and then an email would be sent w/further instructions on how to activate and
login to their account. What's the best way to accomplish this? Should our system create a unique password for them (initially) and then require them to create their own? I need a solution that is secure with almost no chance of someone attempting to impersonate.
We have recently upgraded our web server. The web server is in a remote location and is being administered by a contract company. After the upgrade, one of the location of our database (access) has been asssigned the following rights:
Read and Write. There are two more permissions i.e. Read & Execute and List Folder Contents which were not given permssion. With this scenario, I cannot add or update records on a web application tied to this Access database. My Is the Read & Execute not essential in order for me to insert and update or even select record in the web application.
How do you create a form that can be forwarded to an email account. Could somebody please provide me a code.
