Is it possible to use IIS 5.x software on WinXP/2K OS and VBScript to detect the logged in user account.
ie, we login with our firstname initial, last name (amartone) as well as the domain the computer resides in? My account is under ITU, so I am ITUamartone.
Can ASP detect this? I'm making an intranet app, and I'd rather validate users that way than have them log in over and over.
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.
By using <authentication mode="Forms" > in web.config, we can create self-designed login page, but how to check user's account and password is vaild in another domain controller?
Does <authentication mode="Windows"> can have self-designed login page?
We have two sites hosted on different servers and we have many pages on domain A which has many links(asp programs) to domain B.
My question is if domain B server is in trouble, what is the best way to have all domain pages redirect to domain A? Right now I just have redirect code in each program on domain B to redirect to a maintenance page on domain A.

I have a Javascript to detect whether a client's browser has flash installed, but as so many people are putting me off relying on Javascript, could you please let me know if you know how to detect whether a browser has flash installed using ASP.
Is there any way to detect a mac using ASP? I am trying to let a mac with no referer into my site, but NOT any other OS that does not come from my site

I have an ASP website which curently sends emails via CDONTS. Sometimes emails are not getting sent and there is no way to detect the error. I would like to be able to log on a database that an email has been sucsessfully sent or log an arror on a database if the email has failed. One ways I have thought of is to call a VB.NET DLL which I have written (I only have .NET not VB6!!). But i ma not sure how to call a VB.NET DLL from an ASP page.
How can you detect if it is a bot that's visiting your page, or a real person? Is it in the 'Request' class or what?
I know you can ban bots from crawling your page, but this is not want I want to do, I just want a script that can define if its a real person thats visitng your webpage, or a spider.
I've got a page that increments a count when the page is hit. The problem is, I do not want search engine spiders to affect this count. I'd like to wrap the increment code in an if/then statement so that it doesn't get triggered when it sees that the visitor is a spider.How do I sense that spider? Is it with the server.variables("referrer")? Is there a good list anywhere of the names of the major search engine spiders?
At the moment i am checking that all the fields have been filled out, at the moment i am using the following...
if firstname = "" and surname = "" and address1 = "" and town = "" and county = "" and country = "" and postcode = "" and phone = "" and email11 = "" and email2 = "" and password1 = "" and password2 = "" then
is there a better more efficient way of doing this?
If I write an entry into this DB, Name and EMail, the ID is auto increment. How can I detect what ID has been created ? I want a user to submit details to me, they get the ID as a ticket number ?
I have a page with a pop up window for a 800x600 resolution. But people using a different resolution will not benefit. So is there an asp script to detect what resolution people are using. And by detecting this it will alter the pop up screen size. Get what i mean?
I am planning out the stages for an application at work, the application needs to detect when a client has emailed 'us' and then trigger a new row written to a database and email the client back by return.
I can see how most of what our application needs to do can be achieved with ASP/SQL Server - but the part I am unsure of is the email detection...I suppose the closest thing to what we are aiming for would be one of those 'helpdesk' apps that many companies have - you email them - you get an automated confirmation email back by return with a ticket number etc etc - anyone got any ideas on how I can achieve this?
I am writing an application which when the code first loads there is a form which all the fields are blank. I then need to test some date fields to check if the end date is before the start date etc. The form fails to work. So I then wrote a test asp page which has a single box I then use an If...
Else statement if it is Blank then do nothing if it has data in the text box then display a message. The form works ok until I input text and then it does not detect any input text in it and therefore does not display the message. This is totally the oppoisite of the original application which does not detect the form is empty. Code:
I'm writing a script to add documents to a database, that can be sorted via date. As the date doesn't necessarily corrospond with the day the document is being added (i.e. it could have been orignally published in 1999) I have created a series of dropdown menus that allow the user to choose day, month and year. However, they could potentially choose, for exmple, 31st of February, which will generate a database error.
How can my code intelligently detect an invalid date before it generates a database error? Every system I can think of is overcomplicated for such a seemingly simple problem.
I have a program written in ASP. Normally it is all done by using include file etc.The client has asked for the program to be rewritten using frames. This can be done, but I have of course told the client that includes are better than frames and more easily manageable. Despite that advise the client wants to press on .
I have worked out a means by which I can move everything over to frames. How do I detect and ascertain if a page has been opened in a frame; if it has determine the name of the parent frame; and ensure it cannot be opened else where - ie another frame or window without a frame ?
Is there any way in VB ASP of identifying if an image which is placed on a page fails (if it's simply not been put on the server for instance so IE gives it a red X)? I want to detect this if it happens and display a default image or something.
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
How would I get a windows account name through ASP? Say I login with veamon, and the start menu says Bob Barker ...how would I get the Bob name...i can get the login name
I'm looking for an ASP script or tutorial to lockout an account after 3 or 5 failed attempts. It should be the best way to prevent my login screen against the brute force attack.
Does 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.
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 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.
I know there must be a JavaScript way, but is there a VBScript way? I asked here, because if there's a javascript way I need to also use VB with it...since I want to trim an image if it's over a certain size...
I' m getting a (0x80040E2F) error, if I submit my form, with blank textboxes to my update stored procedure. The stored procedure expect values, so how can I detect if a form field was empty. I've tried testing to see if the form field is null, blank and to count the characters, but I can't get it working. My SQL table allows nulls, so it's not that.
Can I use request.servervariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") to determine if the user has Firefox or Internet Explorer? Is the return string differentiated enough?
We have a company intranet based on ASP (Win2k, IIS 5.0, SQLServer 7.0). For security purpose, my boss wants to block some employees from logging in to our intranet except for from our factory. Our factory has a SBC DSL (one dynamic IP and it's shared). I know how to get the client pc's IP address. But as the IP address is dynamic, I cannot depend on it.
Is there a way that I can detect the user is accessing from our factory (like router's MAC address)? One way I brought up is making a page to record the client computer's ip and making one of our factory's computers automatically call the page. But this scheme is incomplete as you know.
