when i put some working code into my directory and run it locally i get the following error. An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator. i am sure this is to do with trying access the database as its a process login page. how do u set up for connections to databases?
View RepliesHave just installed IIS7 on Vista and am trying to access a .mdb file
through ASP. Getting server error.
I think the problem is in the file permission. Under XP Pro/IIS6 is used to
have to set the .mdb file security via windows explorer to give
IUSR_machinename full permissions on this file for anonymous web access.
Cant seem to do this with Vista explorer - says object cannot be found.
Also, getting conflicting statements from IIS Help - it tells me firstly
that
a. By default, IIS 7.0 uses IUSR as the account for anonymous access.
This account is created when you install IIS 7.0.
and then
b. Similarly, a new Windows built-in account named IUSRS replaces the
local IUSR_MachineName anonymous account from IIS 6.0.
Anyway, whatever syntax I use, I cant seem to add anonymous web user
permission to daters.mdb via the security tab in Windown Explorer.
I have rolled out my simple ASP site, just updates a few fields in a
database, it works fine for administrators, but the local users are getting
a page can't be displayed error stating the database is opened exclusively
(this is not the case) or they don't have rights. The database s shared to
everyone as well as the actual web server.
Not sure if I should be posting here but upgraded to Vista and setup my localhost websites but ASP are not executed/recognised only html files - what do I need to do?
View Replies View RelatedWhich version of Vista includes IIS ?
View Replies View RelatedHas anyone used the traditional Classic ASP / Access DB / IIS configuration on Vista yet?
I haven't, but before I upgrade to Vista I would like to ensure all my websites will work once I do. What version of Vista is best to use (and includes IIS) ? What problems did you have with database connectivity ?
I need to choose Vista version, hopefully the lowest one like home edition, to have IIS services for some sql server feature to be active.
View Replies View RelatedI've been doing all my ASP projects etc in my Uni whcih I can access from home but cannot FTP etc. Which mean I cannot edit files and play around with code.
Is it possible to run the asp on my home ASP so I can practise here rather than travel to uni each time!
Im running vista ultimate from home
I've just installed IIS 7 and have run the script to do the complete install.
When I run my HTML file that points to my asp file it just downloads the .asp file instead of running it. Any ideas as to what im doing wrong??
When I run http://localhost/SSNName.html it works fine, just seems to not run the asp file
I get the following error: An error occurred on the server when processing the URL.
Just upgraded to Vista Ultimate, and running IIS7 for offline web development. Suddenly getting the message
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/daters/cards/previewCard.asp, line 98
The Include file '../viral_update.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.
This worked fine in Win XP Pro/IIS6. What goes on? Do I have to use the full path or must the include file be located in the same directory.
I've a strange problem with Windows Vista, running an ASP page on local
machine (http://localhost/test.asp), the page does not give me any error but
the asp code is not executed (simple code : <% response.write("hello") %),
it show me a blank page, I think I've put all the setttings correctly, but
maybe I must do something obvious to fix that.
I now have a login page for user authentication.
But I am kind of paranoid about security.
Is it enough just to have that to secure my site?
How do hackers do "sniffing"?
And how to prevent that?
If there is any GOOD website security tutorial, I would love to read it.
IIS can handle security on its own without the need for complex scripting and i like the idea of being able to just let the system do it however im not sure how to set such things up and would that mean that if you used something like integrated windows authentication that security is delt with by windows and its users info rather than getting the info from a database of my choosing ?
the whole concept is quite confusing to me but there must be a simple ish way to set up at least some form of secure site area within my web.
I am starting to learn asp and I have IIS installed on my WIN xp pro machine. Do I have to worry about security for any reason at all. I don't believe I have file sharing on at all, then again, I don't know if that has anything to do with this.
How do I run security through all of the pages? The users log in, an asp checks their password, then what do I do to secure the pages from users that do not enter the password?
View Replies View RelatedDeveloped 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.
Does anyone know how to implement one way hashing or encryption using ASP 3.0 and no additional components.
I need to secure a intranet application which is being moved online, currently the passwords are stored in plain text, ideally id like to hash the passwords in the database and hash the form data when testing, but I don't seem to be able to find any hashing methods for standard ASP, perhaps someone has a nice code snippet for hashing.
is there a way to login to a particular security group from asp?I use IP addresses and email addresses to identify web users and most have general IWAM_COMPUTERNAME access.
Once web users login is there a way to give SOME of them access to a NT security group based on stored NT user/password information?
I am working on a new feature on my website where people can write their own HTML files. They are actaully going to have .ASP extensions, and are hosted on my webserver. So, what security issues can you suggest? So far all I have got is disabling '<% %>' tags. Anything else?

I'm using macromedia dreamweaver and VBscript, i have a database using MS Access.
i am developing a project thats gonna handle some transactions too.Since this is my first commercial project so i am worried about its security. so my question is "is asp safe enough to use with something serious ?" or i should use something else like PHP .
View Replies View RelatedI'm about to embark on a project that will allow my clients to produce invoices via any internet enabled PC. This post is regarding the security options available to me.
I will implement a Username/Password scheme to restrict access to the facility, but since part of the facility will allow access to customer information I wondering if I should also look at a more secure protocol than simple HTTP.
I have very little knowledge regarding the options available to me and as such I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions of an overview of the different things I could use.
One more conceptual thing! Tell me if i am right! I have developed a concept that SSL does three jobs!
1) It forces the client to connect ot the server through SSL port rather than 80
2) It sends data from client to server encrypted!
3) It provides a certificate from the third party (SSL provider) that we are the rightful owners of this website!
I've been apointed the task of looking through some code for security risks. Up until now it's been PHP, but now a person want's me to look through ASP and ASP.Net files.
The problem is that I don't really know what to look for. Can someone tell me. As many things as possible. in as much detail as possible. even things that normally aren't very risky.
I'd like to start using global.asa to store things like connection strings to
databases and the like. As I understand it, you have to save the file in the
root of your app.
My concern is that storing the location of databases within the ASA file
might be a security issue. Is there any way for a user to get at the
information contained in that file and, by extension, get at the databases
themselves?
I'm not really asking about "someone stole my credit card info through cookies".
Here's the deal:
I have 2 sites (different domain names) running from one server. One is SSL the other is not. The SSL site has a login and password, which return the user's unique id, which is stuck into a session cookie.
This cookie is then checked at every page because every page is built based on the user's id. If it is not present, the user is redirected to the login page.
If the id is wrong, there will be no information shown on the page.
My question is this, can the other (non-SSL) web site see this cookie? The site has no asp or anything else, but if someone "broke into" the non-secure site, could they read the cookie from the other site?
If I store login information in a cookie is it possible for the PC owner to modify the cookie without it making it valid?
For example if in the cookie I store the current user, say "Bob" - if Bob edits his cookie by hand to say "Alan" will the server accept the cookie as valid? Or will it realise that it has been tampered with and discard it?
Anyone recommend a good reference on this sort of thing?
my system is at testing phase. how do i test my system to check its security especially at the login page? i am running it at localhost. i have tried sql injection but nothing happened. i just saw the invalid login username or password error only.
View Replies View Relatedyou know when you have a browser based application (written in ASP or whatever), which uses a database, how can you ensure that the username and password of the database is secured?
My ASP application has got a file containing all the information you need to connect to the SQL database, if anyone happens to get hold of that file on the Web server then he'll be able to do anything he wants.is there a safer way to handle this?
Can anyone direct me to a resource/tutorial for something similar to: Toughen Forms' Security with an Image article on this site--but for ASP Classic
View Replies View RelatedI just finished my database. There is one problem however, I had to give write permissions to my file with the extension mdb its an access file. The thing is that now all anyone has to do is figure out the page name and their browser will begin to download my database.
That is a major security hazard, what the heck do I do. Am I supposed to just hope no one ever figures out what that specific page name is ?
I'm trying to get the NT login id of a user on a web page without making the
user type it into a login box. I'm using the LOGON_USER server variable.
The problem is, if the web page allows anonymous access, LOGON_USER returns
nothing. If the page is set to Basic Security, the NT login popup box comes
up, even though the user is already logged into the network, and HAS access
to this page.
Moreover, if I try this on my PC instead of our webserver, it
works like I would expect. That is, when set to Basic Security, it does NOT
pop up a login box if the user is allowed to view the page, and LOGON_USER
returns the userid. Is there some setting on the server I need to change?
Or something else?
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a querystring problem. My problem is that users are assigned certain parts of a document, therefore users can only view parts of the document that they have been assigned.
The page with the document is called document.asp and when a user is assigned part of the document they are given a link to the document.asp with the section id in the querystring.
For example a user may be only allocated section 1 of the document. The link they receive has section=1 in the querystring. When clicked the link takes them to the document.asp. The header of the document.asp contains the following: Code:
It's funny that this has not been invented yet, or has it?:
You store your DB outside your default website.
It is accessed only through your ASP code and a ODBC-connection.
This way your DB is not obtainable for the web user.
Why doesn't Any One create a connection corresponding to ODBC, lets call it
FileConnect that in the same way allows us, in a web site, to have directories
and files that are really hidden?
