I have a web app that doesn't utilize a specific logout screen (even if it existed, the clients would probably just "x" out of the app anyway).
I would like to track users' sessions, and I can insert into a user_log table as part of the login process, but how do I capture when a user ends their session? Can I update a sql table somehow in a global.asa file - using "onSessionEnd"?
I want to make a log file in which only a date and time are written, when a certain page is visited.
Most scripts and tutorials explain only about how to read a file, and how to write a file.. not on how to write a line at the end of a file(or beginning). I tried the following, but this does not work: Code:
how would the site know that that specific user has logged in?i know that once the user registers, the username and the password gets stored in a database and once the user logs in, the password and the usrname gets searched against the password and the username in the database.what if i want the users details to be outputed such as address and name once they log in?
View Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to insert multiple records in the same table at the same time. This is what I have. I have a form with 6 fields and they are name prod1 through to prod 6. The table is called related products.
Basically this table is related to the main table called prod_parent. tried looking on google and couldn't find anything.
Can someone offer some clarity on the issue of session time out. If I understand correctly the default is set to 20 minutes and is reset to 0 each time a call is made to the database - which could simply be a different page request (?).
I seem to be frustrating a number of users because they tend to linger on one page for a long time - in some instances reading info and in others writing, and re-writing, and scrutinizing their submissions on a couple of forms. Because I check (via an include file) for an active userID on every page....
they can complete their form and submit, but are then requested to log back in to the system...and the info they added IS in the database...but NOT associated with them due to the session time out. Of course, this creates some nasty data issues.
I'm looking for a better way to approch this issue. On the forms pages I've changed the session time out to 30...but wonder if that controls more than the page it is on? Dont know. And it does nothing to solve the issue of data entered and not being associated with a user.
Is there a way to offer a 'warning' to the user that their session is about to time out? Or should I be looking to refresh something within the page at certain intervals - my concern there is - can i refresh part of the page an not others - if a user is filling in a form - would a refresh to that page automatically clear the form?
In my application we don't have session timeout. Now we want to implement it. If the user has not accessed the application or not triggered any every for certain period of time(for ex: 10 min) then I want to show a message asking user to continue the session or not. If user wants to continue I need to reset the timeout variable other I need to redirect the control to Login form.
View Replies View RelatedI am getting problem of session timeout in my ASP Script.I set Session.Timeout=120
But the timeout is activated before the 120 minutes & i was thrown to login page again.I want to know, its some kind of bug or something related to server setting?
How would I go about increasing the session time of a user, before they are logged out for inactivity?The reason I want to do this, is because players may have the site open,
while actually playing a game. But when they come back to report, they are no longer logged in, but it appears that they are.
I assign the cookie when they login using the following code:
response.cookies("username") = username
Response.Cookies("username").Expires=#May 1,2020#
But I don't remember writing anything that says how long the session is for.I think default is 30 minutes?
On my server Iis 5.0 IIS have ASP session state set to 20 minutes ASP Script time out set to 200 seconds. But when I use my pages...I am leaving one page open and watching the time.
When its about 5 minutes I continue with submit button and it returns back to the main page...(i.e. if session is "" then return to mainpage.asp). Why is the server not giving me the full 20 minutes. The server is just timing out. I tried to put in session.timeout = 60 and still no luck.
I am using classic ASP. When the session times out theglobal.asa event
called session_on end is invoked which is absolutely correct. When I
explicitely do IIS reset or iis restart then again session_on end is
invoked. How can I distguish in global.asa event session_on end that this is
natural session time out or explicit IIS restart....
Is it possible to have a session expire/time out or log out for a windows regular
domain user logged into an .asp application?
we are having this funny problem on one of our win2003 hosting accounts. When a user logs in. The session times out almost immediately. We set the session with this script.
Code:
<%
user_login = request.form("username")
session("user") = user_login
%>
but as you navigate the pages, it times out almost immediately (less than 1min). We are not using cookies at present, and not launched this particular site to the public, so it cant be a case of heavy traffic. I also checked the <%=session.timeout %> property, and its set to 30minutes. The funny thing, is that we have multiple accounts running on that server. We are talking with our provider, but no avail yet.
i want to increase my session time so that it does not expire till the user closes the site.
i have written in global.asa file the following code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = -1
End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work and my sesion still expires.
I need to log how many times one spesific file is downloaded from my

that count number of downloads, and then redirect to the spesific file. But
this soultion will not work when a user right click on the file/link and
choose "save target as...". How can I solute this?

I'm developing an application that uses a custom 404 page to deliver all of my site's content. However, doing things this way renders IIS's regular log files pretty much useless.
Are there any established "best practices" for creating your own logging system? I know that others use this technique and I'm hoping someone has some ideas they can pass along. For example, do you log every single page request or do you just log totals per day, week, or month? How do you deal with the increasing volumes of data? Do you collect referrer data, etc.?
I've got a number of ASP scripts updating a particular SQL Server table. However, this table is being updated incorrectly by one of the 10 scripts. Is there a way to log all updates so I can troubleshoot the problem?
View Replies View RelatedI have experienced some ASP errors in my web application and I'm unable to reproduce those errors because IIS is configured in a way that does not send any debugging messages to the user (and I cannot change it). Only standard string "An error occured on the web server when processing the url..." is sent.
So Is there any way to log such situations to the eventlog, a file, database or any other storage? OR Is there any way to allow me to send only piece on debugging information to the user. In other words: I'd like to send error code that would be understandable only by me?

I have an asp application that allows users to access certain documents based on their ID and security level. This works fine, but I want to be able to log access attempts so that any potential abuser can be given proper warnings, etc. Basically, if I'm Attorney A then I should be able to access info on Case X, but Attorney B should not be able to, and any of his attempts to access Case X should be logged somehow.

I also have a Database locally in MSSQL that has the users ref number (primary key, incrementing) first name, last name, and user id (same user id as ldap/AD etc)
what I want to do is when the user logs in the page will call the Database and grab the full name as well as the ref number. Later in the page if the user submits a form to add data to another database I want it to populate a column in a table using the ref number. that should be rather easy once I actually have that ref number.so how would I tell the page to go to my database and grab his ref number (as well as his name to be able to display Welcome first Lastname instead of userid?
