I'm having trouble with the workflow described bellow:
1. Asp page 1 on server A contains an iframe.
2. Asp page 1 submits a form targeted to the iframe, to Asp page 2 on
server B.
3. Asp page 2 runs in the iframe and at some point might decide to submit a
form targeted to the _top frame, to page 3 on Server B.
4. Page 3 loads in the top frame. Code:
I have a website that has a asp secured members only aria that keeps session variables to check if someone is logged in or not (if session variables are not there then redirect to logon screen) but I also have non members aria and I need a way of asking the user if they want to move away from the members only area or go back to it. I have used an asp to find out if the page is a non member page and if there is a session variable there.
If there is a session variable and is a non member page then I use JavaScript to bring up a confirm box that if the cancel button is pressed then it goes back a page. The problem is that when you go back a page the session variable gets lost. Dose anyone know how to solve this problem or a better way of doing this?
We have our web site setup on two seperate servers. They are connected together through a BIG/IP server. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with BIG/IP (load balancing) but I'll give you a quick explanation:
When a user goes to our site, they hit our BIG/IP server first. This server looks at our two web servers and determines which one has more resources to spare. The BIG/IP then redirects the user to that server, where they are on the rest of the time they are on our site.
So we have two web servers with duplicate web sites running. My problem is I need to run one application object between both servers. Is this possible, or is there a work-around?
I am developing ASP application with complicated login system. There is several group of menu options. Each have form 5 to 15 sub-options.
User can work with any combination of options and sub-options and can see only these menu options which are allowed for him. "Rights rules" are store in SQL Tables and are getting after logon.
Now a questions:
1. what is the best way to store this menu structure (Session object is not allowed because it uses Cookies) ?
2. What is the best way to handle the "rights rules" ?
Below you can find quick links to information about the Application Object. I would write a post like my CDONTS one, but I just don't have time, but when I do, I'll see if I can get one done.
An intro to the Application object, this its in JScript but its easy to change

HOW TO: Declare an Array at Application Level Scope in Active Server Pages (Q165293)
A Real-World Example of Caching Data in the Application Object

HOW TO: Use the Application Object to Store ASP State
I am trying to get to the application object from a seperate class in my ASP
application and I dont want to pass the object in as the class is inherited
to lots of other classes. So i can have something like the following:
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid
Namespace Classes.Inheritable
Public MustInherit Class EntityCollection
Implements IDisposable
Private mobjDataConnection As Classes.Databases.DBConnection
Public Sub New(ByVal strSQL As String)
mobjDataConnection = Application("DataConnection")
End sub
The following code exists in a Global.asa file:
----------------------------------------------
<%
Set Application("Thing")=Server.CreateObject("THINGDOER.THINGY")
%>
----------------------------------------------
Will the above code snippet:
create a non-object Application variable named "Thing" & place it in
the Contents collection of the Application object?
-----OR------
create an Application object named "Thing" & place it in the
StaticObjects collection of the Application object?
There seems to be plenty of discussion about caching in the Application Object, however, I cant find any info on what realistic limitations there are and how they are measured.
What are the factors that will limit performance / storage of many individual or single large bits of data with application scope? eg database driven list boxes (that dont require up to the minute data) 10 * 100 options? 100 * 100 options? kb's? megs of info? How much can I cache?
Rather than opening and closing a new connection to the database on every page, I have placed that connection into an Application variable. This has worked fine so far.
My issue is that I have a logoff page where it closes that connection.But this means that users who are on the application will not be able to access that connection.The obvious answer is that I don't close the database connection.But my problem is, I would like to eventually close that database connection.
How can I determine if an application variable (not session variable) exists?How can I determine that there are not any users on the application?
My asp application allows a number of users to log into it. Each user has a different type of access level (General User, Manager or Administrator). I want the administrator to be able to see how many other users are logged into the application at a particular time. How can I do this? Would the use of an application object work for this?

We have pretty simple ASP (not ASP.Net) application, which has been running fine on IIS4 and IIS5. It has now been moved to a sever running in the DMZ and managed by a 3rd party. The server is Win2003 and IIS 6.0.
Within the Globe.asa file, have an Application_OnStart SubRoutine (Visual
Basic) and it bombs out on the first line:
Application("cnSecurity_ConnectionString") = "connectionProperties"
With the error:
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

I'm looking for a way to allow only one user to access my web form at a time. so that if there is a user using my web page / html form.. then the next user is directed to another page. So only one user is allowed access at any given time .I was hoping there is a way to do this with Application variables.
View Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a small asp application. Now I would like to store the complete database connection in the application object. Note I want to store the connection NOT the connectionstring. For that purpose I wrote a small asp include which connects to the dbase and stores the connection object to the application object. However when I use this include in my pages then it doesnt work. What I am doing wrong? Here is the code:
View Replies View RelatedI'm using application variables for a web based sales tracking application. I use the variables for stuff like connection string, database name, etc. I store the values in a asp file that is included in a login page. The assignments are in a procedure that I then call on the login page. This is done everytime a user connects to
the login page.
what's happening to the variables? Are they being overwritten everytime a user accesses the page? I'm not checking for the existence of the variables. I just call the routine everytime the page is accessed. I know the values are shared for all users but, I was wondering if I should check for the existence of variables? Will it free up resources? Should I be using locks?
I've got two sites, on the same server, with the same pages (ones for test,
ones live) the only dif that I can find is the global.asa has different db
strings.
The sites (that I didn't write) are using javascript (not jscript,
javascript) as their ASP serverside language.
The sites login, set some session values, then redirect to a .htm that
builds a frameset and loads some pages. This redirect is losing all the set
session values on only ONE of the sites. Any ideas where to start?
In my access database i have 2 tables called seceret question and secret answer. I would like to provide users with thier passwords without using emails. There would be a screen where they can enter thier username, secret answer then thier password will be displayed on the screen. Or alternatively they could just enter thier username and thier password
View Replies View Relatedmy site apears to be loosing its session variable because it uses dynamically created absolute links. but because the user could have entered the site using any of 4 domains the links might change the domain.
So the user sees no difference but the cart has lost its session. firstly, is this possible? Secondly can I determin the url used to find the site and use that in the dynamic links?
I allways loose the Sessionvariables in my asp-pages (I'm using IIS5.0 with
Visual Interdev 6.0).
For Example: when i create a startpage.asp, and type > Session("PersonalNr")
= 456 < he cant remember this value on another page.
when i query this value (for example in endpage.asp):
Response.Write(Session(("PersonalNr")), i get the value 0, because the
session will be restarted (The function "Session_OnStart" will be called
again in the global.asa file)
Does anyone know why ?
I have pg1 sending 6 vars to page2. Page2 uses the 6 vars to pull from an access database the fields of a specific tbl. under the sql stmt a function displays the records with headers, which will be sortable and pgable.
Problem is this. The initial load is fine with sortable hdrs and pgable pgs. BUT when the user clicks on any header to sort or next pg, then the vars are lost and the sql stmt is emptied.
Is there a way to hold the vars, or convert them easily to a hardcode type string?
I have a problem with my asp code on an iis 6.0 server on windows 2003
web. When I redirect between to asp pages on my web-site, where pageA is
in a different virtual directory from pageB the session variables value
a lost. I know that it is the session ID there increases. (New session).
If I make the same call in the same virtual directory the session
variables is not lost. Is it some thing about different application
pools? If sow, how can I join two or more application pools regarding
to session variables? If not is there a none coding work around.
1. A Form which is a drop down menu, posts selected value to the same page.
2. This page connects to a database and depending on the selection from the form. the results are displayed for that selection.
3. This page needs to refresh to pull updated data from the data base.
Heres the problem..
I have the form and page pulling the correct information and displaying it on the page, but when the page does a refresh the value selected from the form is lost and then no results will show.
What could the likely cause of a session value being lost when one navigates
to another page and attempts to write that session out:
Page 1
session("u_name") = oRS.fields("u_name")
Navigate to Page 2
Response.write Session("u_name")
....."_name" seems to be empty on Page 2.
What am I doing wrong here?
I have a project in which I'm trying to embed one site, that uses
session stored variables, inside an IFRAME in another site (which for
that matter doesn't even use sessions).
Problem is, that it doesn't always save the session. When I try to
access it from some computers, I have no problem, the session variable
is stored and I can browse the site in the IFRAME and everything's ok,
but on other computers, the session variable value simply disappears.
To simulate the situation, assume that the two following html trees are
the site that goes into the IFRAME: Code:

View Replies View RelatedIs there any way in ASP to catch a destroyed session when the user closes their window.
Example.
When a user enters a page, I create a session - Session("blah")="blah" . However when the window is closed, the session is destroyed, but before it's being destroyed, I want to some things.
I have an mypage.asp page with a button, one can access this page only
if
Session("smth") = 1.
There is also an empty iframe in this page (src is not specified).
When I click the button I will fill the iframe with a page (src =
'another.asp').
For security reasons I check the login session in another.asp and
Session("smth") is empty no matter I have logged before.
In mypage.asp Session("smth") is still on and its value is 1 but it
looks like it gets lost in the iframe.
Any idea why and how to fix this issue?
We're experiencing random user sessions losses on our web applications,
and are researching for any useful information which may shed light on
this problem.
Environment:
In our company, we're developing a web product based on ASP.NET 2.0, in
conjunction with Oracle database over ADO.NET and external COM objects
running on the server, interacting with the database, and with external
modules.
Our servers are Windows Server 2003, running IIS 6.0, with all the
latest patches and updates provided by Microsoft. Web application on
the server is a precompiled version of our web solution. Code:
I've made a form that works almost correctly. Problem is that When You fill
in a form and push on preview, you see the information you've filled in. Now
in this page (preview page) I made a few hidden fields with all information
to send it further. Now in the result page I don't see all the information
I've typed before on the form. Especcially the text or number after a
(non breaking space.) It is just lost. Why???
To better manage our secure site we just separated the registration and
checkout sections of our web into separate virtual directories. These new
virtual directories are on the same server as the primary eCommerce website.
This is an ASP site (not asp.net). When this version goes into production it
will be on a 2003 server (IIS 6) with a SQL Server backend (located on a
different server).
Now when the main server passes control to one of the new virtual webs the
session information is lost. I'm having problems finding information on the
web as to how to maintain this information between the web and virtual
directories. It's imperative that this information remain secure so query
strings or anything that would pass visible data is not an option.
I have a normal login page that (upon clicking submit) checks whether you are part of a particular office and then redirects the user to their particular office's webserver.
The problem i am having is that when i redirect a user, to a securewelcome page, they lose their session variables causing them to have to login again. What am i doing wrong to make these variables get lost in the redirect? Is it because i am redirecting to a different webserver?
I have built a site that works/worked absolutely fine on my test server. When I transferred it to a remote web host (the intended permanent home of the site) something very worrying keeps happening to my site.
I use, as is the norm, session variables to store login information. At the top of each page I do a check that Session("isLoggedIn") = "True", and if not then the system logs them back out.
The serious problem is that once you have logged into the site, the next page you try to open it fails the above check and logs you out! Obviously Session("isLoggedIn") is not equal to "True" so it assumes you aren't logged in. So basically the session variables are getting lost/cleared. This makes my site unusable, and is a disaster for it unless I can get a solution.
if a URL is
https://www.mysite.com/mypage.asp
clients are redirected to
http://www.mysite.com/mypage.asp
This works fine for all but 1 client. He looses a session during the
redirect. Apparently his browser interprets https:// and http:// as
different domains.
