We have a legacy, P.O.S. Access database/application that we use for production tracking at work. We are wanting to design a new web application for our intranet to replace it as well as use an Oracle database. I have not used ASP.NET before, but I'm going to start learning so I can work on the new application. In the meantime, I'm thinking of the things I'll need to be able to implement to have this work how we need it to:
1. Convert the Access tables to Oracle and serve them on the intranet
2. Create web forms in ASP.NET to replace the forms used by the Access application
3. Regulate user privileges so that certain users only have access to certain features. This was easy in Access, but I need some sort of administrative area of the new web app. to add new users and regulate their permissions.
Regarding number 3, how would you guys go about doing this? I'm also open to input on the other areas as well.
i am having to write a password protection script that pull the user info from the user accounts on the server. so, that way people within the company can log on using the same user name and password as they would to log on to there computer/the network. any ideas? i will also have to give each user different permissions, but i think i can figure that part out.
I have question about whether it is best to use windows local user accounts to authenticate against when logging into a website OR using SSL for any communication sent to and from the web server. I know these are slightly different issues here, but I will explain my situation.
Clients will log onto my website and will be gived user access based upon their username and password. Therefore I initially wanted to use windows local user accounts and restrict anon access within IIS. However, I am thinking it would be just as secure to use HTML/ASP webpage and database access to the website, as long as the data was encyrpted.
I'm not a professional programmer, but I am responsible for our company's intranet site which includes many of my own VB.NET and come C# custom web apps as well as SharePoint Services 3.0 (very soon).
We have a web form that will be created into a web part, and we need to have this form essentially create a new account on our FTP server. This server is on our DMZ and isolated from our domain completely. It is running Windows 2000 (not server edition) and prior to my being with this company, I have been told an idiot was in charge of creating accounts upon request by employees, so they bought him some cheap $45 version of WinFTP because he didn't understand IIS. Code:
i am developing an intranet area where my boss says he wants the logon to be related to the local accounts,if no local account exist then they will be refused access, i am a little lost with this.
Does anyone know of a database management program that I can use with my access dbs? I have several access dbs on one server, but have to log in to each one for editing, viewing users, etc. (obviously). I don't know if anything like this exists, but it sure would be helpful if I could just log into one db to view/edit all of my dbs. Does anyone know of such a program?
how can i make buttons on my web site to import/export favorites from ie a good example of this can be found. can someone give me an idea or link to study on this topic.
Am asking for input on a better way to manage website content. Input is dozens of .pdf files up to 11 meg in size containing one to eight advertisements comprised of both text and graphics. These files are 300 dpi at CMYK and I use the same .pdf files the printer uses to print glossy paper coupons. The goal is to categorize and display the ads in a website for online printing. This post is all words and no code.
The work flow is divided into cropping and displaying.
For cropping: having done it many ways (screen scraping, Photo Shop. Paint Shop, etc.) am getting the best controlled results by opening each .pdf in GIMP, hand cropping each ad and saving as a .png file. Now using GIMP because the others have been awkward to use or didn't provide the results I want. Have tried various pdf utilities to extract each ad intact and avoid cropping altogether, but the mixture of text and graphics gets skewed.
For displaying: I hand update the html directory and when an ad description is linked by the site visitor, pass filename and title parameters to a common php script I wrote that determines the image dimension based on the image size, builds standard html code and displays the ad. For printing I rely on the browser print button.
Will ASP permit me to develop a web-based application that will read these .pdf files directly from the printer's server, let a non-technical person easily crop them, describe them, store them, build the directory, and display them? Kind of like a cropping content management system? also will need the ability to stick in an impromptu ad here and there too.
I would like to be able to generate table reports listing all the TABLE NAMES, FIELDS and their datatypes in a neatly formatted table.
Additionally I am building up a frightening amount of queries.I would also like to cycle through this and neatly associate notes with them to remind me of their specific purpose.The naming of the query can only go so far.
I find that upon returning to my asp and access application after a month or two I struggle to contextualize where to begin query additions and table alterations and hope a catalog method will make me more effective and save time.
I created my custom error page and it sends an email with serverVariable("URL") to me, so I know what files users may request which are not found. All of a sudden, I started receiving a large number of emails.
what's the best way to log errors: database or flat text file (in terms of speed and use)? what useful info can I collect on error page 404 as you may suggest (serverVariable("URL") serverVariable("REMOTE_ADDRESS") are not just enough).
I have written an ASP.NET 2.0 application that uses Active Directory or ADAM to manage account users - the site has a page that allows people to create an account (much like any site). The page populates the AD with all the information and the user account but I am unable to enable the account. Microsoft has information on how to do that here --> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ting_a_user.asp (the sample is for Visual Basic) - and I am unable to complete the bottom portion of the script. Can some one point me in the right direction - or can you tell me how I can add a snippet of VBscript code to an ASP.NET page.
I am using the Active DS Type library - not sure why there are multiple ones (System.DirectoryServices) but it is rather confusing - I seem to accomplish one thing with one and another with the other (they did have trouble co-existing however). Anyway my script works very well but I am not able to access the properties required to enable the account.
Here is a simple version (no error checking) of the code.....
how to go about setting up an asp script or flash action script to take the input from a user of his/her username and password then send an email to the user with the information. I am able to do all of this but the problem is that the users pc is the one sending the email. I want the server to send the email instead.
I'm having a real tough time getting a User's NT login after they submit a form.
I have Anon. Login disabled. I'm using Digest Authentication (although I've tried everything).
Every time I run the page, I get a blank string instead of the requested information.
The information is in a hidden field, with the value set to: <%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>
The icing on the cake is that when I run this on my PWS, I can pull the information and it shows up in the SQL DB I'm sending it too. But, when put on our live box, it doesn't show up. The setting on each box are exactly the same.
I have a classic ASP program running on a server in the DMZ. I need to consume a web service so that I can consume data from that web service. However I am not able to call the web service from the DMZ since the server can not send messages out on the internet.
Thus, I need to send the call to another server running within the internal area of the company's internet. I need to send this message to an IIS server and then from the IIS server call the web service. I was thinking that I need to call the service on the IIS server with an ADO.NET connection. This ADO.NET connection object would be generated just long enough to call the web service, get a response from the web serice, and return the message to the server running in the DMZ.
Let me know if you think this would be a good solution and tell me how you would setup this interface. (Should C#.NET or Visual Basic.NET be used or some other lanaguge.)
Also after this solution works, I will need to implement this similar type of solution to call other web services.
does anyone know a way to show a users USER name instead of just there login name its for a school intranet currently we retrieve a lot of data based on the login name by using this script:
[code] <%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>
it would be a lot more functional if i could pull the full name, we are using Active Directory 2003 and iis6, and all the logins have the full username inputted in the AD?
I'm developing an ASP form registeration system. The details of the form must be added to a text file not the tradional database. Each time a new user adds a record it should be added to the list at the bottom to the previos adder. Does anyone have a script sniplet of how i could do this. Remember details from the form i.e. name, firstname should be added to a text file...
I am new to .NET and I am trying to get the user name from a kerberos ticket and I have no idea how to do that. There seems to be some ability to do it using WSE 2.0 but I cant really see why there is not an easier way. how to do this?
I have a admin-page wich is username and password protection and Microsoft Access database with table called "member" and fields "username and "password" in it. I wan't to have a welcome message when user is successfully logged in so he/her can see for example "Welcome Chris". How to I do this?
I'm running IIS5 on a Win2K server, and I want to have an ASP page that creates new users. I have some simple code to test this, but am getting a "500" error when I run it. The ASP looks like:
<%
strDomain ="Foo.com" strUser ="Foo1"
' Create new user with password Set oDomain = GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain) Set oUser = oDomain.Create ("User", strUser) oUser.SetPassword = "password" oUser.SetInfo %>
Just for this testing, I've added IUSR_machinename to the Administrators group, but am still getting the 500 error.
I have a login page. and more users. Let's call them users A, users B and Users C. Users A can only access page A, users B page B, ... All the pages uses the same DB, but different tables (table A, table B, table C).
I surveyed 1000 people and 884 of them said that they prefer forms that are filled out in sections (multiple pages) instead of one long form. I am trying to do that with my site. Currently the way I was planning it was:
register.asp - sets up username >> stage1.asp - checks for unique username >> stage2.asp - personal info >> stage3.asp - more personal info >> stage4.asp - even more personal info >> stage5.asp - yet more personal inf >> stage6.asp - employer info >> stage7.asp - Finished
When users go to register, I want to: select a user name and password, then make sure the user name isnt taken, make sure the passwords match, collect personal info over a few pages, then finish.
I would like to do all this only utilizing the register.asp and possibly a process page. Anyone have any links or tutorials on creating pages like this.
Do you know how to get windows login variables (i.e. the LOGON_USER server variable) from ASP without having to fill in the challenge response message box that automatically appears when you configure IIS to Integrated Windows Security for a particular site? I don't want users to have to log in again to the site as they have already logged in to windows but I want to use their username on the back end to verify permissions. Is it possible?
I'm facing a situation where my team leader wants me to create some ASP code that will pull the user's ID (which is no problem - request the LOGON_USER server variable) and THEN pull that user's NT Permissions to determine what kind of permissions the user will have when he/she comes onto the website. There is to be no logon screen at all. The permissions cannot be determined via a database or through cookies. Only NT Authentication can be used.
I have a small hunch that the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION server variable might provide a clue, but the value of that variable is a bunch of (encrypted?) gibberish that means nothing to me, except probably the NTLM part at the beginning. Is there a way to decode the value of that variable into something coherent that I can use in my code?
I have a button that would allow a user to logout of the program, how can this be done? Also, how can I allow the program to logout and terminate if not used after so many minutes?
I have five forms in my website, what I'm trying to accomplish is to track the users history. For an example if the user save their information on the first page and exit the system; Whenever that user logs back in I want them to be where they left off. I hope I'm clear on what I need help with. Does anyone know how to accomplish this task? P.s I'm using Deamweaver to create my page.
What I am trying to do is to develop a dhtml based chat system. So far everything is working as planned, took me over 6 hours to get it working, but I am pleased with the results, it is comparable to java chat. With no page refresh. My problem is How do we manage which users are online on chat and which are not. I do not wish to use any application variables nor do i wish to use session variables. i am trying to avoid the 2 Either the user may simply close the chat window, or he might just go and browse another site. Either way I do not get to write the even to the database.
