Protected Directory Redirect
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 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 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 written a script to update user information in the Active Directory using ADSI. Here is part of it:
Set User = GetObject("LDAP://<GUID=" & GUID & ">")
User.Department = DepartmentName
User.SetInfo
Set User = Nothing
This works fine unless DepartmentName is an empty string ("").
Then I get error 0x8007200B: "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid."
This happens with all the attributes I have tried, including TelephoneNumber
.
Do I need to delete the value of the attribute instead of setting it to an empty string? If so, how do I do it?

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.

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

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 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 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:

"Logged in: Jon"

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 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?

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 am trying to use the following in an ASP page to redirect a user to a
non-anonymous FTP site:
response.redirect("ftp://myusername:mypassword@ftp.mysite.com")
but I keep getting a "permission denied" error. If I just put the same
address string in IE6's Address box and go to it, IE opens myusername's FTP
home page just fine, so I know the FTP site is working as expected. Also,
if I put in an anonymous ftp site, without the username and password (e.g.
"ftp://ftp.microsoft.com"), the redirect works fine, too.
I don't want the user to be prompted by IE for the username and password at
the FTP site, so I am providing them from within the web site.
What can be preventing the response.redirect from handling non-anonymous FTP
access? Is there a better way to do this?

I would like to do something like this:
<!--#include file="C:dbutilsdbConfig.asp"-->
Where the directory C:dbutils is OUTSIDE of the web directory and not
accessible by a client web browser.
The reason I would like to do this is in case somehow ASP processing
gets turned off in IIS. Since "dbConfig.asp" contains a
username/password for the database, I don't want this file to somehow
get sent back to a client browser as plain text.
Two questions:
1) is it possible to use an include file that is outside of the web
directory?
2) is there even any way that ASP processing can be turned off?
perhaps not explicitly, but maybe via malicious code or virus?

I have an Intranet site sitting on an Windows XP server, which has IIS 6.0 installed. This Intranet site contains a virtual directory (VD), which sits on a second server and has Windows 2000 installed.
To test how a virtual directory would work for this particular Intranet site, I had previously set up the VD on the web server. Everything worked well...no errors.
Once testing was complete and the location of the VD changed to the second server, I have been receiving the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'
Path not found
I understand what this error is saying, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any problems between IIS 6 being on a XP server and the VD on a 2000 server and any possible implications.

Not sure how to address this, but...
Obviously in the SEO world, this:
http://domain.com/my-article-name
Is better than:
http://domain.com/article.asp?articleid=67
Here's the challenge though: How do you get your dynamic pages to appear as a directory rather than an asp page with a querystring? I'm fairly certain that there is a workaround to this to be able to have one dynamic asp script that appears in your address bar as a directory.
