I want to move/copy/create/delete a file to/from the network folder, mypcmyshare through filesystemobject, and this shared folder has its own security setting. How can I specify the valid user info in order to make change to this network folder? Or is there any other better way to serve this purpose?
View Repliesin my folder i have lots of pdfs stored in this format:
01_01_05.pdf means file is saved as mm_dd_yy format so if the file is uploaded on 23 march 2006 it will be 03_23_06.pdf
i'm using filesystemobject to check to see what file it the most recent uploaded Code:
how to find the size of a pdf which is located on the server i know i have to use filesystemobject
View Replies View RelatedIs there anyway I can get the information about a file on the local machine of a user that is reading pages from my web site? Scripting.FileSystemObject does not have permission to do this, and I want to check the size of a file before I try to get it uploaded.
View Replies View RelatedI have an asp template with tons of code in it. I want it to be saved into an HTML page once it is done generating the asp page. however the only way i have found possible is by inserting objTextStream.Writeline "<code here>" into every single line of html. Is there no faster way to generate an ASP page into html?
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to access remote directories using the filesystemobject and ASP. This only seems to work when the security is set to anonymous. However, I want to connect to the remote server and pass through the users credentials rather than the "connect as" anonymous credentials. The web server is 2003 and running IIS6.

All my ASP code with FileSystem which used to be properly ran cant be executed on my XP server.
There is no message error on da page, but the browser icon keeps spinning and da content is blank, it means u dont see anything happens. I wanna ensure dat all da code is right, cos it work properly with PSW and other servers. I even tested with a simple code, but It still doesnt work..... Code:
I want to write a script that can read and write files to a place on a network file-server. Since the machine-local IUSR is not a domain user, it cannot access the resource.I want to provide IUSR limited access to a particular place on the file server.
Can anyone help me think of a reasonably secure work-around to this issue. We tried creating a virtual directory that points to the share(using a domain account), but even then, site users can see the files (no security), but the fso (IUSR) cannot (no
functionality). There must be a way.
I am trying to copy files across servers
I can successfully copy file from server1 to server4
but am not able to copy file from server2 to server4
If I use the code to check for file on server 4
ie
If Fileexists(server4filename) then
response.write("File exists")
else
response.write("File Does not exist")
end if
If I run this code from server1 I get file exists
But if I run the same code from server2 I get file does not exist.
I am logged on as the same user.
Could anyone PLEASE let me know what is the difference on both the servers ie. server 2 and server1.
I am going crazy trying to figure out why the FileExists method of the FileSystem object returns false when the file passed to it DOES exist.
The FolderExists method of the same object recognizes the existence of the folder containing the files in question, but FileExists always returns false.
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 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?
