I have created a password protected area on my website using session variable. I used a pre-programmed package on the internet using ASPLogin not the very expensive company software- another more basic type from another company! A user can log in OK for the first time, however, when he/she next visits within a couple of days or more the login screen says that they are already logged in., and because of this, they cannot log in and have to wait for the session variable to expire.
I am using both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer and both are having the same problem. I am not too sure of what is going wrong here, as ideally, each time they have logged out I would like them to log back in OK again.
I have a client who has a password protected page (via session) that lists a bunch of pdf's. They are a little worried that you are able to browse and see the pdf's via the url without being logged in.
I'm not sure if it's possible or not but is there a way after their username and passord is verified to automatically grant them permisson to view the contents of the pdf directory?
I have a site that is using .asp mainly for SSI. There is a login section where the user types in their login and password, and this allows access to the member area of the site. So far so good. However, once in the member area, the user could bookmark that page and get back to it anytime without having to login again. Therefore, they could just email the link to friends and anybody could access it. (and yes, if they wanted they could email the login and password - but I can't stop that). I have another site that uses a single login/password to access restricted areas, but it's done with .php Any ideas about a quick code insert that could use their login/password to gain access (per session) to a certain file folder.I hope it's not an obvious answer
how to password protect a directory (downloads) on a Windows NT Server? UNIX is a breeze. It seems like you need an Act of God to get Windows to do the same?
I am trying to create a website where user is required to login first to view members page.
I want user to come to my website. They can move around in free sections where I give examples of the lessons that are to be taught. But if they need to few the whole lesson then I want them to signup first. Signup is free.
I want to use ASP to do that.
if you know any tutorial or have an example which tells how to do that, please let me know.
I have a client who has repeatedly asked about getting a site-wide search engine for their website. There's arguments for and against, but I'm more worried about the practical aspects of the request.
The site is largely composed of password-protected pages. Member data is stored in an Access database. The pages are all secured by a basic include file that checks against session variables to see if the user is logged in. If "yes," they can see the page. If "no," they are redirected to a login page. Standard stuff.
One of my biggest arguments against the search engines is that since they can't get into the protected pages to index them, those pages will not be included in search results. Since the protected pages make up about 90% of the site, this pretty much renders the search engine useless.
Have any of you encountered a similar situation? Any thoughts on a way for the search engine to index those protected pages?
As far as the search engine goes, I was planning on cheating and using a form that sends requests to a simple google site search (it works surprisingly well on the non-password protected pages), although I'm open to other suggestions if you have any.
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?
An ASP page on my IIS server converts an uploaded word document to HTML, but I'm having a problem with it failing (hanging and popup requesting password on server!) on password protected word documents. (web upload, backend processing and web delivery)
I spent the whole day on google to find a solution. What I am looking for is an asp script or a property that can look at a word document and just return a yes or no as to whether it is protected, so I can then refuse to upload it, until the user has removed the protection.
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 creating a series of downloadable articles, career tools, spreadsheets, etc. However, some of the content is for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a database and logon.
I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply pass someone the path to the files for download. However, I am not creating an actual system user name for the folders where the various documents exist.
I don't want someone to logon, retrieve the path to a file, and be able to send that path or return to that path without having to logon.
How do I accomplish this?
Consider the following: serverroot/registeredcontentfolders would be protected by a single logon name - not accessible via anonymous access. User's logon to site and I auth them with their user name but on the server side, auth with the single account I am establishing for access to the protected folders.
How do I call a page in a password protected directory? In other words, I had my admin make a directory protected with authentix and now I want to use a page outside that directory to call a page inside that directory. How can I do this
Im running a site on IIS6 and its got a link to a protected directory.. Authentication required, so user enters their username and password and it gives them access to the directory.
now however we want to use the same link but different users.. so whoever clicks the button it prompts for login information but then redirects them to their own directory per their username/password. any ideas for me to investigate ? maybe an index.asp that waits for username and then redirects ? is there a simpler way ?
I have pass protected files within a directory adequately and included a function that ensures the http_referer is the secured folders index file so that I can be sure the file they are calling is opened up as an include within the index file.
My problem is what if it is a pdf or word doc or pp file. It is a bit of a training directory and they may use various forms of presentations. Now in cold fusion I can control the whole directory by implementing the application.cfm file but I know of no way in asp to do this.
I know how i can list and manage files (with the file object) on a normal directory with ASP. But i couldn't find any information on how do i list/work with files which are locaed on a password protected directory (with basick auth). how to make such a task ?
the hosting control panel gives the ability ot make a login for the directory you want to secure , but i want to make a logout for this login , how could this be done ?
I need to look up what user name was used to login to a protected directory using ASP.
I don't want to create a login page, etc. It shouldn't be necessary. Only employees who already have user accounts need to log in to the webapp and the protected directory login box is all the security I need. I just need to be able to access the username that they used in my application. Code:
I have a folder that is protected, the users login with their unique username and password, these are held in a text file.
Is this information logged in a way that I can use the login name as a variable for use on my page, such as if I login as Jon the page can display "Logged in: Jon"
I need to display a URL that links to a password protected wiki (htaccess) on an apache server. I'd like to include the userID and password in the URL so that the user is not prompted for it on the wiki end. If I was linking to another ASP page I could send the login info in the querystring, but how is this done with apache? Is this even possible?
I have a database on a website, and a table in this db contains two fields,PCode, and Verified. I have to add new records to this in batches, and these batches are generated on a local PC.
Is it possible to paste the contents of a text file into a text area form field, and then run an asp/vbscript routine to update the database.
The text file contents to be pasted would be in the format:
1234, Y 1235, N 1236, Y
I am ok with updating the database,what I would like to know is how to split the text into individual items - is there some kind of read line function.
I am trying to do is make a member area. I am setup for asp and others but what I want is it to show how many points they have in there account when they enter and then when they use some of there points it will deduct there points from there account any help on this would be great Ie: websites code or any tips.
Can anyone help me format text in a text area using ASP? I am bringing in data from a database and need to format headers for the data. Is there anyway to format this in a text area using ASP?
when I´m typing a text data in to the form and I press Enter to go to a new line and after when the data is submited in the DB I go to PHPMyAdmin and the field looks like this: line1: text line2: text2 etc.
I'm having a complete brain cramp today. I've written a form that displays information based on content in a database. Can someone tell me what's wrong with my code to display the data in a textarea?
I would like to create a member's area on my ASP/Access web site but members must pay an annual subscription fee via Paypal to access this member's area.
Unfortunately, the Hosting provider does not support a Unix system, so i cant store all my members area information in a password protected folder.
Please could anyone advise me the best way to do this?
I already have a merchant account set up with Paypal.
I need to give every member an individual UserID and Password, and restict access to the members files, so visitors cant access them directly via the Browser Bar and by-pass the Paypal fee.
I would also like an automated service, so if a member does not renew their subscription, they will not be able to access the member's area once a year has passed.
Alright i'm trying to open the table, which is determined by a querystring variable console and from there I'm trying to select the field game which isn't a variable and I'm trying to choose the name of the field by the specified title which is also a query string variable Code:
