How Do I Protect My ASP Code When Distributing?
I have a small ASP application that has no OCXs (so there is nothing for the users to download, etc) and no DLLs (so nothing to register).
Currently, I only allow prospects to demo it online through my server and then they get the files (source code) when they purchase it.
What I would like to be able to do is allow them to trial it on their servers for a limited period, but I don't know how to protect my code from being seen, used (if they don't pay) or copied?
Can you please suggest the possible ways of doing this? I know that you can copy functions into a compiled DLL and then protect the DLL, but then I would have to run an install program to register the DLL, correct?

how can you protect the .mdb that an asp page modifies? This must be open to all for modifications right? But how can it be hidden so people can't just download it if they guess the path?

I'm trying to protect a directory from users not logged in.
Let say i'm trying to protect a direcory called files.
I only want the user to acces the files when they've logged in.
http://www.sitename.com/files/filename.doc
Even though they know the name and path i want to prevent people from downloading the files.
I don't want the user to be able to send out the link to another friend without logging in.
Is this possible i'm using a wiindows server.

I have several PDF and MPG files I would like to provide to users to
download via HTTP. I also have a database of user accounts. I would like to
protect the PDF and MPG files so that users cannot "save target as" or "view
source" to directly link to the files.
My first thought is that I would have to remove anonymous access to these
files and/or their parent folder within IIS. I was thinking that I could
then create a Windows account called something like WebUsers and give it
access to that folder. I'm hoping to write some ASP code that authenticates
my users against my own database and, if successful, logs them into IIS via
the WebUsers account (so that all my users share the same account).
My problem is I cannot find an code or method or object to do this. Is there
some simple function that I can use to pass a username, pw, and domain to
IIS to authenticate the user that would then carry through for them to be
able to download non-ASP (PDF, etc.) content?

Ok, this is the setup:
I have archived PDFs, but I want to restrict access to them to members only. Right now, my members only site uses a session variable to log in users.
Is there anyway to set it up so that users cannot open the PDFs unless they're logged in???
The problem is the members only site is seperate from the site where the PDFs reside. That is, a user goes to mymagazines.com and searches for sometext, and a list of links pops up with all the relevant matches, mostly PDFs. This entire process, is free for all to use.
But when they actually click on the link to the PDF, I want them to log in to the members only site. Is there any way to do this?

I have a protected area for a personal portfolio, whereby a client will have login details, and have access this way. Because the work has been done within companies I have to hide this from the general public, due to stupid legal issues.
I have a download directory whereby files are linked. People cannot access the portfolio, however people can type a full path to say the downloads directory and grab a file this way.
Because this is not a managed area as such I am unsure how to disallow such a download or viewing of pdf files without a successful login. Perhaps this is something to do with the host.

I have a simple 2 page frameset that I am trying to protect using asp. I've

When I open any of the pages in the frameset individually, I am

I am working on a web site that uses ASP 3.0 with Microsoft SQL Server at the backend. ASP is used to query the database and fetch data and display it on the web page. I am seeking a technique that can protect my ASP pages from being downloaded.
What I mean by this is that when a visitor runs a search query on my site and the results are displayed on the web page with .asp extension I want to restrict the visitors from saving those pages on their hard drvies. Is there a technique to restrict visitors from saving .asp pages, or may be a 3rd party component that does this.

I have a website which contains certain files (ppts, pdfs) in its root directory. By directly giving in the URL in the address bar, anybody can access the files. I want the users to be logged into the website in order to access them.
For example, if the file location is http://abc.com/my.ppt, I would want the user to be redirected to the login page of the website when he/she tries to access this link. If already logged in, the file should download. How can this be done?

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.

the page is to be able to allow a user to enter a password so as to download documents. It does not meant for any users to download. It is for some specific users. What I want is to send them a password through email, but I want to know who's has downloaded.

Is it a way I can protect my documents and images on a webserver without having direct access to administrate the webserver.
When I make an asp page I protect the information pulised on this page easy. But if I link to some images and pdf files on my site, these are not protected. If a person get the url to this image or file thei can easy download it.
One way to protect these files is to store them in a database, but is there another way to protect them.
Can I for example password protect a folder where I can put all my files and images? Here I mean password protect a folder without having direct access to the webserver.

I have got a password protected page which works OK.
What I need and cannot get to work is a Session Variable,
so that if someone try's to open a page that is
PASSWORD PROTECTED it will redirect user to logon page.
i.e. someone enters correct username AND password,
which open up a page. From this page I want to open
just one other page which is protected. Code:

ASP Session/Cookies, Help to Protect Page from Non users I am a beginner and very urgently need some help
I have created a asp page, that takes in a username and password and validates it as follows and then if true continues to the pages requested.
Code:
'Read in the password for the user from the database
If (((Request.Form("txtUser")) = rsCheckUser("User_pass")) and (rsCheckUser("User_lev") = 1) ) Then
'If rsCheckUser("User_level") = 1 Then
'THE ABOVE CHECKS THE INFO IS CORRECT AND IT REDIRECTS TO THE PAGE BELOW and Session=True
'If the password is correct then set the session variable to True
Session("blnIsUserGood") = "True"
'Redirect to the authorised user page and send the users name
Response.Redirect"user_self_update_form.asp?ID=" & rsCheckUser("ID") & ""
'Close Objects before redirecting
Set adoCon = Nothing
Set strCon = Nothing
Set rsCheckUser = Nothing
End If
Now this code takes you to page :Response.Redirect"user_self_update_form.asp?ID=" & rsCheckUser("ID") & ""
Which is something like /project/user_self_update_form.asp?ID=1
Since after the login you do to this, you are allowed to see this page.
But The page user_self_update_form.asp?ID= can also be access if you just put the link on the browser. Lets say i log in as ID 2, and just change the ID to 3 on the address bar in the browser, i will log into someone elses page.
How to i block this from random access and only the SPECIFIC USER?
Code for user_self_update_form.asp (the protected page unless you are logged it):
The Session = False part just does not work here, so if you get this link of someone, you can just get it, and you are not redirected.
<%
'If the session variable is False or does not exsist then redirect the user to the unauthorised user page
If Session("blnIsUserGood") = False or IsNull(Session("blnIsUserGood")) = True then
'Redirect to unathorised user page
Response.Redirect"unauthorised_user_page.htm"
End If
%>
<%
'Dimension variables
Dim adoCon 'Holds the Database Connection Object
Dim rsGuestbook 'Holds the recordset for the record to be updated
Dim strSQL 'Holds the SQL query for the database
Dim lngRecordNo 'Holds the record number to be updated
'Read in the record number to be updated
lngRecordNo = CLng(Request.QueryString("ID"))
and all the other protected into here:

One of my clients asked me to do a login script for their users that would direct them to a secure page which is protected by checking if the user has logged in (session variable).
The secure page has a number of links to some PDF documents but she is concerned that anyone with the absolute link to the PDF would be able to access the documents.
How can we secure the documents from anyone using the absolute url?
The site is on a Windows 2003 server.
I was thinking something along the lines of how music downloads work where you dont actually get the link to the file and instead are directed to it.
Any other ideas??

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?

Is there any way that I can store my ASP code in an Access DB and have it display that way? Ideally, I would like to make a page with a text area that I can write and edit code in, and then when I submit it, I would like to view the page that the code creates. The code in the DB would include code that selects from and updates the DB.
I would like to do this because I can't work remotely now.
