Sessions
I've got two different sets of ASP scripts on my server. Each set is kept in their own directory. Both sets of scripts use sessions. I want to make sure that the sessions are not accidentially shared between the two sets as they are both different applications.
Right now I'm having a problem when I do a Session.Abandon from one set of scripts it also kills the session for the other set of scripts (I believe they are both using the exact same session). Is there some way I can make sure this doesn't happen?

We are planning to set-up a load balanced web environment. Accordingly, we are going to change the session management on our website from the classic ASP Session State and session variables, to a database method.
Does any one have any pointers as to how I might approach this, so that I can have the same sort of functionality the ASP sessions give without having to create database columns for each session variable I wish to create. I am thinking along the lines of some serialised dictionary or something that I can stick in a blob column.

I have session time by default as 20 mints in iis.
I want to that to be increased by 60 mints in my application so that when user save changes after 21st mint the session should not be lost.
Can this be happen without changing the default time in iis since i have many other applications.

I was wanting to know if you could have a function within a session?Example:
Code:
<% Session("Message") = MyFunction() %>
Is that possible? Ok, maybe not "is it possible" but can you use the session message to dictate where the function outputs its data? Here's why I'm asking. I have an online testing app that when a person selects the wrong answer the correct answer (along with a bunch of other stuff) will be displayed on the page.
I'm getting it to display the correct answer and the other information, but the correct answer is at the top of the page screwing up my layout and the other information is doing what it should.

I am using an HTTPS connection and posting to an asp page that does a
redirect based on if the user is authenticated.
However, for some reason after the session is set and the user redirect
the session dies and the user logged out?
Any ideas?
The redirect looks like Response.Redirect "../welcome.asp".

I am using ServerXmlHttp in a client-side component to basically talk back to the Server within a webpage. I would like to be able to cache some information on the server so that when I callback, I do not have to reconstitue everything that I did for the intial request. However, the Sessions are different.
Is there a way to get the ServerXmlHttp session to impersonate the IE client session? Code:

I'm trying to use a couple of Session variables within SSL.
My form submits to the same page and this is at the top of the page.
<%
Session("ShipAhead") = Request.Form("ShipAhead")
Session("Comments") = Request.Form("Comments")
%>
The form fields are populated but the Sessions are empty on my next page.
Am I missing something? Is there a problem with Sessions and SSL?

I've just created a simple form that writes information to an
Access database using ASP. Everything works fine. My question is, would
there be any reason to use the session object other than for tracking
purposes.
Specifically, does a session have any inportance on multiple
users accessing pages and submitting the form inforamtion to the database.
I was curious about errors to the database with multiple users submitting at
the same time to the database. This is a small scale application and not
expected to have large number of hits. As stated I'm new to using ASP and
just wanted to get some input.

I have used SESSIONS on mission critical pages on my site, and if sessions are not enabled / supoorted - these pages will fail. When and why would a session fail? They do not store any info client side,and rely on the server to store session objects in memory, am I correct? Would security settings or privacy controls ever stop sessions working? Which "popular" browsers dont support sessions?

I have a database add/view/edit/delete page, and you can only get to it by logging in at login.htm (where it checks username & pw and redirects you to the a/v/e/d page.) But if you know the 'Control Panel' address.
you can just type it in and get full access. I figured I must have to check everytime to make sure they logged in. what would be the best way to do this?

I had a contact form set up using CDONTS.NewMail and it worked fine for about two years. I just went in and changed the object to CDO.Message, and adjusted a few of the properties, and while the e-mailing portion of the code still works, none of the session variables on the page work any longer.
I had both the form validation and the message on the "thank you" page set using sessions from the page with the CDO code, but for some reason using CDO cancels the sessions so that Thank You page is blank and the form validation no longer announces which fields need to be completed.

Does ASP allow communications between sessions?
Usually Response sends the response to the destination from which the
Request came.
Is it possible to send the Response to some other client who is connected to
the same page at this moment?

I am working with sessions to check if the user is logged in.
This usually works fine and all my .asp-pages checks if: <%
session.Contents("loggedIn")=True %>
But this only works on my web-hotel
When I run the same pages on my localhost, it can't find any sessions and I
appear to not be logged In.
I have tried to set my localhost on the "trusted sites" list and "always
allow" in "override cookie handling" in my Explorer.

Using Session("variableName") to store data for the duration of a session. And using Response.Cookie("nameOfCookie") to store data as a "cookie" in ASP.....some questions here....
Session Variables. There's no disabling that CLIENT-SIDE is there? ASP Sessions are managed by the server, so as long as it's running fine, there's nothing the client can do to stop session variables from being created right?
"Session" Cookies? When using Response.Cookie, is that data actually written to the client's HDD like Javascript cookies would be? I noticed in MSIE 6 you can goto TOOL > INTERNET OPTIONS > PRIVACY > ADVANCED and Overide Session Cookie settings, but they don't seem to work.
I UNCHCKED to ALWAYS ALLOW SESSION COOKIES, and then did a

i'm creating a shopping cart and i need to know when users add products to their shopping cart, does it load a session for each visitor, which when a new customer tries to add it opens a session for him and he closes the site the session closes enabling another visitor to start with an empty basket ?
or does it use cookies instead of sessions ?
my shopping cart does not work properly...
i need to fix it in this way, when a new visitor tries to add products to the shopping cart it doesn't display the previous products of the previous visitor.
noting that i'm not using any registration as yet......
how can i fix that?
i have a file called shop.asp which list the type of products available in the database and then when a type is clicked a list of products under this type will be displayed, then customers can add to the cart whatever they want.....
but this does not work properly because if another user tries to access the cart he'll see the previous products in there....

I want to do something very simpel. Make a part of my website available
only for users with a username and password. The site is mainly ASP
based. The webserver is an IIS6 and I do NOT have access to server
settings (session timeout, security,...).
I use sessions to set the validation for the users. Basically you are
redirected to a form where you can give a username and password, this is
validated with the values in a database. If the password and username
are ok a session value is set <%=Session("Validated")=True%>*.
At the beginning of each secured page I start with:
<%If Session("Validated")=False Then Response.Redirect("Login.asp") End
If%>
So if the session value "validated" is true you can see the secured
pages, else you are redirected to the logon page.
The default timeout value for session is 20 minutes. Because the session
should stay alive during the complete time of the visit I was thinking
of puting the session.timeout to 60 minutes. I set this at the beginning
of every secure page: <%Session.timeout=60%>
Now, Users keep on contacting me saying that they have to relogon quiet
often. This also seems to happen when a user is not on the website for
20 minutes already (session expired). I tested it myself and have the
feeling the I am indeed regularly redirected. Sometimes after 10
minutes, other times 30 minutes, ... There seems not to be any logic in
the time that users are redirected to the logon page.
Because the website is used to fill in a lot of long HTML forms, it is
very frustrating for the users when they are completing a form and then
pressing "Submit" being redirected to the logon page and lose all
entered data.
Is there somebody who can give me more info on the strange session
behavior? For me it is not normal that a session times out in that
unlogic way.
The only solution I can think of is passing the post information to the
logon page and then redirect after validation back to the transaction
page.
How can you reset the timeout counter on a session in ASP? What I was
thinking was that I am doing it maybe wrong?
Now the session variable that let a user have access to the site is set
once at logon time: (<%=Session("Validated")=True%*>*). Then it is
checked on every page that the user opens (<%If
Session("Validated")=False Then Response.Redirect("Login.asp") End If%>)
Would it be a good idea to re-set the variable every time a user
accesses page? Like <%If Session("Validated")=False Then
Response.Redirect("Login.asp") Else Session("Validated")=True End If%>
Would this reset the timer that times out the session? Or do I have to
add something like <%Session.Abandon%> before setting the variable
again?
What would this do on the server performance?
Is this a good way of working with sessions?
Swicth to cookies i.o. sessions?
I am open for all suggestions, please help! In the future there are also
money transactions going over this website, so it has to be a secure
method! I will use a seperate HTTPS host for this.

I've got two sites, on the same server, with the same pages (ones for test,
ones live) the only dif that I can find is the global.asa has different db
strings.
The sites (that I didn't write) are using javascript (not jscript,
javascript) as their ASP serverside language.
The sites login, set some session values, then redirect to a .htm that
builds a frameset and loads some pages. This redirect is losing all the set
session values on only ONE of the sites. Any ideas where to start?

how to do session tracking with using standard sessions. I have been reading that they are a security hazard.
I built my own small business Invoicing system recently [http://weblog.creightonbrown.geek.nz/index.php?cat=28 | currently at www.invoicesystem.digitalbuilder.co.nz] but i am thinking i want to move away from standard sessions to something more advanced.
Does anyone have sample code/DB? i have looked at about 20-30 web sites so far but i couldnt find any that implemented session tracking degeneration after say 20 minutes or a setable time. I tried building my own but it didnt seem to like me doing selects where datetime =Now()
