If I start a session on our web app then close all browsers, I expect that
the session cookie would be deleted and that the session itself would exist
until it expired. I then start a new instance of the browser expecting to
get a new session id and a new session, but instead I reconnect to the
unexpired session. Does anyone know why the session cookie is persisting
despite the closure of all the IE windows?
When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if
I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is
still set, and I can get it on other pages.
I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why
does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart
event even when I have "block all cookies" set?
I have a form which sibmits data to another page. Trouble is when the user
refreshes the page it resubmits all the data again.
Is there anyway to expire the page immediatly so this cant happen?
When I set a session to expiry in say 20 minutes, the session will only last about a minute. I looked at pretty much everything, but can not find the reason
Code used to set sessions:
Code:
Session.Timeout = 25
Session("NAME") = NAME
how to expire a page, because when i press the back button the previous page still shows up.
View Replies View Relatedcan cookies be set to expire like the session.timeout?
View Replies View Related1.Want to expire or time out asp pages and have them automatically log user out and clear all sessions.
2. Log out gracefully.My current logout is a 2 step process that click logout on the menu, then the user get a message
that they need to either choose to log in again or close browser.I do have a simple Session.Abandon and a prayer that they don't use the BACK button.If the user does use the back button,everything is back like they never even logged out.
i am getting into a problem: i have the following code at the top of the page
Response.Expires = -1000;
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
Response.AddHeader("CacheControl", "private");
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";
Now when some one click on the page and go to page 2 and then click browser back button to come back to page 1, i want the page to expire. I want the user to click the link from page 2 to go back to page 1 and not the browser back button. IT is not happening.
Why doesn't Session_OnEnd detect when the user closes the browser window. I have a .log file where i record the user information when he clicks logout button. But when the user closes the window, my code does not record the log. It looks like the Session_OnEnd is not fired atall.
I did google on this and found solution's using Javascript. Is there a way to resolve this issue other than using some client-side like Javascript. Isn't there any Vbscript to do this.
i am making a quiz program. User answers a question, clicks next, and new question aperas. i want that user cannot answer one question twice. but user can click browser back button to go back and re-answer the previous question. I want that user, cannot go on the previous page.
View Replies View RelatedI have added this like of code I found on an ASP book:
<% Session.Timeout = 30 %>
My understanding of this code is that if the user leaves the page on idle for more than 30 minutes, it will automatically close the session, and if they decide to continue using the site, then it will automatically send them to the login page so that they can log on again. Is that right? Code:
This is a strange thing. My Session object is expiring when the page is refreshed.This is happening in just one partiular page. Rest of the pages are working fine

Echo important variables as you go along to make sure they are getting set as you expect: what is the "query" variable, is it the string you are expecting?
Response.Write "inside Database Recordset Loop, query has a value of" & query & "<br />" & VbCrLf
If not, echo each of the three pieces and see if one or more is not getting passed from the form.
I don't understand the
Call data.MoveNext()
Wend
Call data.Close()
Call objConn.Close()
part at all, what are you trying to do here?
Use flags along the way, to signal how far you get, like echoing when you enter and after you leave key loops or control structures:
Response.Write "inside Database Query Section<br />" & VbCrLf
Response.Write "inside Database Recordset Loop<br />" & VbCrLf
Response.Write "Database Connection just closed successfully<br />" & VbCrLf
etc. etc.
I have a password protected website. I save the user's permission information in a session variable. I'm trying to extend the life of the session variable beyond 20 minutes, but it's not working. At first I tried putting the code in the global.asa file, but when that didn't work, I put it at the top of the page.
Session.Timeout=60
When I refresh the page after 30 minutes, the session variable has expired.
I recently moved an application from W2K / IIS5 to W2K3 / IIS6.
In the new environment user sessions expire after 2-3 minutes? I can't
find any solution to this, although I found quite a few references to
this problem on the web.
I am using TinyMCE WYSWIG editor in a CMS built in ASP. Now whenever I try to insert an Image Into the WYSWIG editor, the Session variable used in the Page is getting Expired. can someone tell me how this can be solved.
View Replies View RelatedI want to know what's the differences between session cookie and regular cookie.
In ASP, when we create cookie, we do the following to identify an user:
Response.Cookies("name") = value
Is this regular cookie? How about session cookie? and when to use which?
The problem is that the code for "change_school.asp" takes the user right to "portal.asp". I checked the code of "change_school.asp" and it does indeed set a cookie value for "school", but for some reason "default.asp" is still finding the old cookie stored and then redirecting...any ideas guys?
'code for change_school.asp...clears the cookie "school" and redirects to page (default.asp) where user can select a new school
<% Response.Cookies("school")= ""
Response.Redirect "default.asp" %>
'code for default.asp which allows user to select a new school, and if the cookie "school" has some value then they are redirected.
<%
If request.cookies("school") <> "" then
Response.Redirect "portal.asp"
end if

On this website i am building it has password protection on certain pages. So i have a "login" portion on the right side of the page, that is shown on every page. When someone logs in is it possible to change that little section to just say Welcome so and so? Instead of having the username and password form with submit button?? Or is this something that requires some java to hide it?
Part II
When someone logs in i want them to recieve a cookie, in that cookie i want it to contain the person's name (wich i want the to be put next to the "welcome back on part I), email address, and up to four other numerical values. (some people will have greater access to sections of the site depending on who they are)
Is is possible to grab this information from the SQL database and put in the cookie? If so can anyone please show me, point me in right direction, ect?
I'm using FrontPage Database results wizards to retrieve data from Access. I have a cookie containing a number I'd like to insert in a custom query. Whenever the page opens, I want the query to run using the value in the cookie. I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the cookie value into something the FP webbot will accept in the query.

I’m a little worried, do you know how spiders work with regards to this sort of thing? My site gets some traffic due to it being spidered by the likes of google and I don’t want to loose that flow.
If I use this at the entry point of my site to redirect browsers with cookies turned off to a page telling them to turn them on will that stop the spiders?
If my user turns cookies off, both permanent and temporary cookies can't be used or only permanent cookies can't be saved on the user's machine?

I have a problem with a Cookie in an ASP page. Without any apparent reason, one of the Cookies disappears, but the others are ok.
I'm at Page1, a link goes to Page2. Page2 redirects to Page3 and Page3 redirects to Page1. When I'm back to Page1, sometime, one of the cookies don't exist anymore... But the others are there! The disappeared Cookie isn't always the same, in the 18 Cookies that I have.
The environment is composed of 4 clustered servers. Page1 is SSL, but not Page2 and Page3.
I don't have more than 4KB (1.86KB to be more precise) of data and I don't have more that 20 Cookies on the same domain.
