Manage User Accounts
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 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:

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?

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 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 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?

My problem is

and browse another site. Either way I do not get to write the even to
