I would like to know something about placing a password for a database in an external file, something like a global.asa file or a included file. I'm using an access database and ASP. how do I make this file and how do I attach it to my website. I thought this might be useful for extra database security, is this true?
The database is located in a folder that is protected by the hosting provider and you can only download the database using a login name and password and you can change data trough webpages (update, delete and insert).This has all about database security, I want to make my database as secure as possible, I'm already using SSL certificates.
i am trying to write a script to parse an external xml file, but am having problems... the problem i think has to do with me trying to do Response.Write(xmlDoc.transformNode(xslDoc)) before the xml is fully loaded. The link to the xml file is valid. Code:
I have a site that pulls in XML data from an external third party and I need to parse it in my ASP page.
Could someone please suggest examples or online resources where I might learn how to do this? Everything I am Googling is confusing me with DTDs, XSLTs etc.
I'm trying to create an ASP page which, when it loads runs the ASP code first then prompts the user to download a text file. I know the answer might be obvious to some of you, but I've sone several searches online and I'm not getting anything.
1) Run code in ASP page.
2) Prompt user for download of external txt file after code is finished running.
I am trying to clean up my html pages by removing the very simple (copied and pasted) javascript functions and placing them in an external file.
What is the correct syntax to call function f1 in function.js ? Also can I add asp code in function.js and call it from an html page? I have this code in my html page that is not working properly :
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Today's date is: <font color="#ff0000"><%response.write(date())%>.
I am introducing a password login script to my site.I know how to password the site but am looking for good ways to password protect to users can only access their details and no-one elses.Also i was wondering whether to use SSL or not.
I am new to ASP security. I want to know what is the best way to store database password in ASP application? Or if there are any places to store in IIS? I tried to store the password in VB DLL file, but looks like when I open the DLL file, I can still see the plain text password.
I'm more of a LAMP person than an ASP/windows type (I'll be honest I haven't got a clue about ASP). Anyway, I'm looking for a way to password protect a file. Normally under a unix box I would just use .htaccess and .htpasswd to use http authentication but I don't have a clue how I would do such a thing under a windows box.
I have made a secure website which you can only get access to with right username and password. On this webpage I have some links to some pdf-files, but how can I avoid people from getting the file if they are not logged on first? As it is now they can easily get the file if they just know the exact URL-address, ex:
www.website.com/dir/file1.pdf
If people type the URL above I would like them to be redirected to the logon-page first. I can't use components or MS-Access database, so I'm looking for another solution.
I am trying to create a "Members Only" section of my website. I have an Access Database to store usernames and passwords and I am using Frontpage 2003.
I have very little ASP experience and am having trouble finding some help on this subject that is understandable. I already have a global.asa file on the site because I currently have a page with a form that writes to the database.
What I would like to know is how to setup a login screen to get to the members only side of the site which will validate against the password table in the database.
I am currently writing a little gadget where users can create, delete, alter... tables in a database. Some kind of MyAspAdmin... Everything works fine as long as I specify the MSSQL-Login-Infos database, user and password.
But if I want to make it possible to switch from one database to another, here comes the problem: The user has to choose a database that he wants to work in, and type in user and password.
I need the (probably very easy) solution, how i can check if this user/password/chosen_database combination is correct. Code:
I want to open word file (or Excel) from IIS server (URL) without getting security window for input Username and password. I know Username, Password and Domain. I'm trying to open with:
http://domain%5cUsername:password@URL
When my computer is registred in this domain - no problem. But if my computer is not from this domain I always get window for input Username, Password and Domain.
I have a form mail script that sends an email and then writes to a text file using Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").
The problem I am having is that the information needs to be saved in a Password Protected Directory. When I try to save the info it gives me a permission denied error.
I had my hosting company change the permission on the directory and the script was working ok but now it isn't.
Is there a way to pass the username and password in the script so I don't have to worry about the hosting company messing this up?
I have a client who wants to password protect a learning course that is set up in modules. Each module needs to have it's own password protection so users can only access them as they progress through the course.
Each user should have their own password (for each module) and, said client would like the password to expire for the user at some (predetermined?) point. Is this possible? It seems like a lot (in terms of setup), but I don't know much about password stuff.
If it is possible, can someone give me an overview of how it works (theoretically) or where to find more specific info on setting something like this up (in ASP.net)
If it isn't possible, can someone suggest what is more reasonable in terms of protecting the modules?
I created sessions to authenticate username and password. How can I utilize this same script to alert the user to change password at 3rd login? In other words when a user logs into a site after the 3 or 4th time which ever, they are prompted to change their password. Code:
I am trying to display a random background image for a webpage. I found this code to do it
<% 'Defines the number of background images you have Const NUMBER_OF_IMAGES = 2
'Initiates the randomize function Randomize
'Sets a variable: this will be used to hold the 'random generated value Dim intImageNumber
'This is where we create the random number intImageNumber = Int((NUMBER_OF_IMAGES * Rnd) + 1) %>
Modify the body tag to accept the random number. In this case we are going to place it within the image so as to facilitate the selection of a random image. Code:
the DoConnection sub is in another page called MyDBConnection in a folder call Common.
I know that I can use serverside includes and embed my con in the page using <%%> but I want the use runat server How can I make call to a function in an external page?
I want to put the same JS tag on sites A and B that call an asp page on domain C.
The tag would look like this: <script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://secure.C.com/Demo/Intercept.asp"></script>
The ASP page on domain C would write a cookie, in theory the cookie should have permissions for read and writing from site C. Something like this: Response.Cookies("Name").Expires = Date() + 365 Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Domain = ".C.com" Response.Cookies(SurveyName).Path = "/"
In firefox the result is exactly as planned, a cookie is set when a user goes to sites A or B via site C, and using this same approach, I can read the cookie from domains A and B via the JS tag calling the script on site C.
IE does not like this. Sometimes it doesn't even write the cookie, other times the cookie has to be there b/c of resulting actions taken, but when viewing the list of cookies, it's no where to be found. Additionally, I don't seem to be able to read the cookie the same way as firefox is letting me.
I know this can be done, I went to foodnetwork.com (yeah I love to cook), and saw that they were using a metric service that was calling a back end script from the vendors domain, and setting a cookie from that vendors domain, all without the user seeing anything or leaving the foodnetwork.com domain. I've looked at the resulting JS code that is returned from these vendor back end pages, and it has nothing to do with the cookie being set, it's definitely happening server side.
I have multiple websites on my Intranet. My current search engines can search within their own environment. However, I would like to have one search page, which retreives results from all environments.
My first task is to connect, retreive and display results from a second server (through http). Then I will need to scrub the results to display in a unique template.
I'm looking for a way to include a file from another server in asp page.using #include won't work because it's not on the same server. In php, you can simply include(), and it doesn't care whether or not it's on the same server, is there a similar function in asp?

i need to create a site with a feed back system. one of my friend said to me ASP has nothing to do with this project. is it possible to do this using ASP ?if yes then what r the major functions that i should use.
My company recently hired a third party to handle phone orders during off hours. The third party wants to be able to update our database through their own interface. We are running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server with ASP.NET 1.1. The number one thing that come to mind is security for credit cards. Perhaps some kind of web service, xml, etc.? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to handle this?
