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?
How do I go about securing download files on my site so users can download those files only by clicking a link and not by typing the files address in the address bar. Is this even possible?...
View Replies View RelatedI am wriging a web application which cosists of a main directory with all the main code, and a subdirectory with the administration features. althogh the two locations will share configuration resources, I need to protect the admin folder from unauthorised access. I know that in apache their is some kind of authentication (I think it is used through an ".htaccess" command or someting) and I'm wanting to do a similar thing in ASP.
View Replies View RelatedAre there some easy to use (and free) web scanning tools that can check
for security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, cross site attacks) on classic
ASP apps and suggest ways to fix them?
Developed a web application which adopts a custom security model which displays a login page and requests a username/password combination. The username works in a mixed-mode of usernames matched with the windows login name and some extra accounts (similar to SQL mixed-mode security). Web application is executed both in the corporate intranet and externally on the web.
Getting user complaints about having to login to the web application when they have already logged-on to windows. I have coded a challenge/response (response.status=401) to get a user's window login through the ServerVariables. This seems to work OK for the intranet access. If the user's windows account is not located in the application database then I redirect to the standard login page for the username/password combination. When the application is executed across the internet through a firewall, the user is prompted by IE to enter the windows domain, username, and password. There seems to be no mechanism to avoid this because of the challenge/response code. I wish that with external access from the internet that users are automatically directed to the application login screen and not faced with the IE windows authentication dialog.
Anyone care to offer a solution?
I recently developed my first website and I hosted it on my pc.But when I try to access it from other computers, I am able to do that only when I turned the firewall off.Is there any possibility to access my website in internet on providing security to my system?

How can I make my asp page secure so that I can sell it and not have people be able to view the code. I know one way to do this would be to make it a component, but I dont really know how to convert ASP into Visual Basic.
View Replies View RelatedI have a website setup which has MS-Access DB. The web pages are in ASP and uses ADO to connect to DB. The DB is located in the Folder "/Database". I have the Connection string setup in the Global.asa file.
As my virtual Directory is "/" and all files and folders including the "Database" folder are with in the folder so any one who knows the Database
folder name and database name can directly download the database from the
website.
The physical Directory for the virtual directory is: -
d:mywebsite
d:mywebsitedatabase
d:mywebsiteDLLs
d:mywebsiteimages
d:mywebsiteinclude
d:mywebsitestylesheet
d:mywebsite emplate
How Can I restrict the database to be access directly from web? Please suggest all alternatives that I can opt for.

View Replies View Relatedtell me a way to programmatically with script at the server, reset the current user's security context from the IUSR_ account to a different one? what we'd do is anyone who is already logged in as a customer through our ASP page login setting customer-specific session variables.
we'd programmatically impersonate them as a different windows account,switching them from the anonymous IIS account they start off as. Bottom line is that we don't want them to have to login a 2nd time to get to these new pages. We've got other non-asp files that I cannot simply put behind an ASP-based login, which is why we need to lock the directory down behind Windows security.
I haven't started programming with databases yet, but instead have been saving data in asp files. The files would look something like this.... Code:
View Replies View RelatedMy client has purchased 'software' - it really is just a series of html documents. I need to ensure that these pages are protected and only those who log in can view them.
I am building an asp/db based login front end to ensure that users have paid for the system. I just do not know how to protect the files from there because they are html. Converting them to asp is not an option.
How can I protect from SQL-injection in this instance?Code:
sql = "
SELECT dbo.admin.id, dbo.admin.email
FROM dbo.admin

I've learned how to basically access the database. Set ADOConn = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")ADOConn.Open "myDataSource", "sa", "ItsASecret" But putting that code in each asp pages or putting it in the global.asa will be insecure. Since if the hacker gets the asp files or the global.asa files they will know the user id and password for the database. In this case, it's "sa" and "ItsASecret".
How can I do it so that they will never see this? I know of a way by using the Metabase.
if I'm not running my own IIS server to do that and that I'm just gonna rent a webspace what are their options? Will they let me change or add this in their metabase? If not, what's the term for securing it? How should I go about securing my database id and password?
all my ASP sites use an Access database. Most are parts of our company intranet and i want to protect the databases from being opened but have it so that i can open the tables and make adjustments if needed.
I've tried adding a password to the database but of course that prevents it from being accessed via ASP. Just wondered if anyone had come across this problem and found a viable solution.

View Replies View RelatedI recently put together a site for a friend that needed a database to drive part of it. I tried and failed miserably at trying to learn ASP.NET & PHP so my friend sourced a web developer graduate who said he'd done a CMS for his final degree work. Great I thought, that takes care of the DB side of things.
On the back end, there are 4 web pages that deal with managing the database submissions:
1.) A login page
2.) A page to add a record to the database
3.) A page to delete a record from the database
4.) A page to update a record on the database
The login page has some sort of encryption within its ASP code but is not in protected directory so I guess it's probably subject to a brute force attack, but this I think my friend is prepared to live with as his site is so specialist and low-traffic. Code:
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong section!
Ive created a site using ASP and an Access database. At the moment the database is unprotected, and I haven't used any usernames or passwords to access the database.

im brand new to ASP and all but at school they want a webpage and they wont support PHP which is what i know so i need to figure out how to show everything under a directory then if sub folders have them link to that folder
View Replies View RelatedI 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?
Does anyone know if it's possible to convert files to .pdf format through ASP? or better yet, does anyone know of a utility that can take a directory of word documents and form one pdf file with the contents?

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.

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.
