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?
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 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?
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 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've developed an appliaction that i want to sell it to my client, but dont want him to reseller it, so is there any solfware or techniques that i can used to protect my asp source ?
I'm selling asp softwares on the net and I would like to find a way of protecting these softwares with a key or something. Would you know any solution for that?
I'm after a script that will allow me to password protect a page, but allow multiple users. IN that I mean I can have 5 people with different usernames/passwords who can all access the same page.
I have a simple 2 page frameset that I am trying to protect using asp. I've included the following code listed below at the top of each page including the frameset page in an attempt to protect each page from unauthorized access.
When I open any of the pages in the frameset individually, I am presented with the proper login page as expected, however if I open them thru the frameset page, redirection to my login page does not occur. Code:
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 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?
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"))
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.
I have downloaded a nice upload script from the internet, it works great, but I would like to have it protected,so that only the admin user can use this upload page, I'm getting the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Request.Session'
If I change it in Request.Cookies, that won't work either.....
I have a website that we display images we have saved into a SQL Server 2000 database as binary BLOB. This is on a Windows 2003 Server. Just recently (a week ago) this website began to save the images it is displaying on the website as ASP pages in the Temporary Internet Files > IE.Content > Folder.
We have other websites where we use the exact same code and these do not save files on the server when they are displayed.
Here is the code to display the image: Set rs = objConn.Execute( SQL ) Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream" Response.BinaryWrite rs("Product_Image")
SQL is the SQL String to get the image from database
When I add this code:
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
The images still display on the website, but now are saved in the Temporary Internet Files folder as JPG's.
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?
Can a php file be executed inside an asp file? I need to execute a php file in another asp file but i'm not so sure it's possible. My server can run both asp and php and they run without any problems... I just need to find a way to include the execution results of the php file in the asp one. Is it possible to use SSI and include the executed php file and then the executed asp file in a main ssi file?
I have installed PWS in windows 98 in each of the system at various places and put my Sales program files in the WWWROOT directory in all the branches. I'm afraid that the users may tamper my ASP files. Is there any way of converting .ASP files to .exe files so that the dont see my program.
I was wondering how some sites let you search by using a form, then present the results as static .htm files.
The reason I ask is that I tend to use ASP to process form information, then give the user a list of results presented on an .asp page. The list is simply drawn from a database in real-time and formatted into a template page.
The problem with this is that search engines can't see any of the information in the database, since they can't do the form submission. Is there a way around this?
When DLLs are compiled in VB, in addition to the dll, there are also exp and .lib files created. Can somebody tell me what these are for? Do I need to include them when I deploy my application?
