I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved
from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting
FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server
configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage
options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any
online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for
links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master
database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file.
Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving
public access to the database file? Code:
Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.
I am trying to use this bit of code to change the permissions on a file. Apparently it should work but it isn't. I am getting no error messages just nothing is happening. The path to the file is definitley correct. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Code: <% strFileOrFolder = "D:WebRoothtdocsProjects est.txt" strUserName = "Everyone"
I download an application from a 3rd party for a forum that uses Microsoft Access. When I try to log in, I keep getting an error about the database being read only. I go to the hard drive and right click and uncheck "Read Only" but it never works, I've done this on the database file, the directory it is in, the parent directory, the wwwroot directory, the Inetpub directory.
I'm trying to write a script that will allow validated users to download a file that has specific ntfs permissions. Here's a summary:
Scenario: 1) The name of the file is "binary.zip". 2) I've created a local account on the server called "dl_user". 3) dl_user is the only account that has permissions on binary.zip. 4) I've written a script that validates several people to access a web page that has a link to binary.zip. However whenever they click it, they get prompted for a username and pw. If they enter the "dl_user" credentials, it works.
Problem: I don't want these people to be prompted for the username and pw. Instead, I'd like IIS, through some ASP mechanism, to pass the dl_user credentials in the background so that the users are completely unaware of the account that has NTFS permissions to the file. Is there any way to do this?
I am methodically working my way through the Sitepoint 'Build your own ASP.NET website' and have been successful in every lesson up to page 279. However I've come stuck when trying to add information to an Access Database. When I try to do so I get the message:
Operation must use an updateable query. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have tried the solution described in the book but still get the message. I am using IIS and XP Professional. The database works for queries so how do I get it to accept information entries?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME way out?
I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?
I need to set an online directory and file the write permissions,fot JET to use it's temp file whthout problems.
Im using ACE FTP Freeware,and the properties I ask for each element directory and each file says that the write permissions are OK, but I still got errors while trying to update it online.How can I change IIS permissions?
I have a compiled activex dll component on my server. When I log into the website under the administrator I can successfully access the dll, however using another windows NT user simply shows 'unable to create component due to permission'.I have ensured that the user in question has all writes to the dll file on the server, including the IUSR and IWAM accounts.
i got somethiung about permissions or something, like when i goto my site, and theres a bunch of bs about folder permissions set to non read... whats up witht that????
Does anyone know of an asp script, online somewhere, that I can use to find out the permissions of a folder? My ISP says these folders have full permissions, but my programs say "permission denied". I don't know if it is the programming, or if the folder don't really have the right permissions.
I keep getting"Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN " errors pointing to my connection string when the same connection string is working for a few of my other pages.The MSAccess database does have the right permissions configured. Below is code I'm using:
<% dbcon="DBQ=" & Server.Mappath("diary.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" Set calConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") calConn.Open dbcon%> <%dim freetsql,rsfree freetsql = "select text_field from diary where dte ='" & dfm & "'" set rsfree = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rsfree.Open freetsql,calConn,3 %>
I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of you have experience with this kind of stuff I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions? Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?
i need to allow my ASP app to append and use data in text file, but restrict users from pointing directly to it and opening it for viewing.
what permissions should be set for the text file and is there a special way to access the file from the my ASPs? i am use JET ISAM driver to had data access to the text file. it all works fine except for the problem i mention. also, i have to reset permissions when ever i upload from my PC to development and production sites.
I have a database (*.mdb), which I can connect to, query on, and return results from in ASP. Now, I want to do some ADDs,UPDATEs,and DELETEs.... but I get errors executing my SQL... What's the trick?
PS My connection (thus far) is this, and works.
Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" Conn.Open Server.MapPath("myDatabase.mdb")
How do I setup perrmissions in my FTP to allow anonymous access where you can only upload to and download from a separate folder but not create sub folders or change any permissions etc.
I have my trusted users with extended permission in like c:ftproot ame1, c:ftproot ame2 etc and would like to have my anonymous access directed to something like c:anonymous. I do not want them to see the trusted accounts. Can I and how do I do that?
I have a mixure of .htm / .html / .asp files on an IIS Server at our main office. When people at another location goto the web they can view the .htm,.html files but can't access the .asp because of permissions.
Now i've checked the permissions on the individual files and the two file types have the same permission settings. Is there something in the ASP platform that adds extra permissions to .asp files. (Active Directory wise).
can someone explain to me what the following privelages . eg. in one folder i want my database to be written to, but not allowed to be downloaded as a single mdb file.
in another folder i want my user to be able to upload images into it freely. other folders i want untouchable. here are the settings my host give me. if somebody could explain to me what the different users are. what certain settings will allow. in terms of ftp and website use.
here are the settings i can apply to each directory/file ....
I have a asp page that I need to check to see if the current logged on user is a member of a specific active directory group. How can I do this? I have tried so many different LDAP code examples and none seem to work.
Do I need to include a administrator username and password in the code? Does any have any samples of code I can try?
i had this site of mine running from my pc with duc no-ip for avoiding my ip from changing my ip. it was working fine, but i made an upgrade to my machine, so had to start all over again;

Ive recently migrated from dirty ol' PWS on Win98 to IIS 5.1 on XP and Im a little unfamiliar with the IIS snap on. Would any of you be able to help me with permissions so the Db can be updated but without adding security risks.
im running asp.net using visual studio .net on IIS and Windows XP Pro im tryying to run a web application with accessing an access database but when i try to open the connection it says the file is in use or dont have permission.
im pretty sure it is the permissions but i cant add asp.net user to have access like with windows server what do i have to do to fix this?
