I need to secure my web page, when it is reading a file from the
physical folder.
Say for eg.. I have a page Page1.aspx, which displays a list of links
that corresponds to
the available text files in one of the files. All the other pages are
secured except this
page. So when I click the link, it redirects it to for eg..
http://localhost/folder1/one.txt.
But this should not happen. As the user can type this without even
logging into the website.
So I need to know how to stream this file and display it in another
page, rather than just showing it.
Iīve made a loginpage in asp, and a page that receives the data from the form and logs you in. But how do i make the loginpage secure? Do i have to use https, and if so, how do i change from http to https when the loginpage is included in another asp-file?I donīt know if i have explained myself correctly
We have a need to allow our users to enter Credit Card #'s on a web page, so we need a secure page (have the little lock at the bottom of the browser) in order to do this.
1) What is this called? (I've heard the term SSL (Secure Socket Layer)tossed around, I don't know if this is the same or something different).
2) If I need a certificate of some sort for our server, how do I get it?
I have used the "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" object to successfully download web pages from other sites.
However, I need to download a page from a secure page. Can anyone point me to sample code for that? I need to "post" data to a form on that page, so any sample code for that would also be helpful.
How can I secure the pages for login users in a "professional way"? I could set a global variable to true when a user successfully sign in but that's not how the experts do it right?

I am working on automating a workflow process for my company. Part of the process requires the user to send a snapshot of their benefits from a secure web site to their manager. I am trying to extract the web page using Microsoft.XMLHTTP but am having problems due to user validation which is required to access the benefits web page. There are 2 layers.
First, user is required to login with user name and password, then user is redirected to another page that asks for PIN. Only if both authentications pass, the user is considered validated and is redirected to the benefits page. I am not able to through any of the validation pages. What can I do?
Any idea's on how to make a PDF secure? I don't want anybody to be able to type in the location to the pdf file in the browser and download it. Suggestions please!!!???
I work for a large chain coporation. My schedule is posted on their secure web site which I have a user name and a password for. I want to create a URL string that can be sent (using VBA inside of Outlook) which contain my username and passsword and allow me access to my schedule information.
After a number of wrong turns and experiments I need advice on login management system to secure our web pages without inconveniencing our visitors or our internal staff.
i need A system whereby the user only has to register ONCE and he will have automatic entry to ANY page without havinto to RE-LOGIN even if he comes in two weeks later or comes directly to that page via an email link. This scenario seems built on the Amazon model of the 'gold box' which automatically remembers you through cookies.
If the user does not have cookies he has to re-login. help me identify a 3rd party product that does this or a route to achieve this in my code.
I have been working with ASP classic on this current project im involved in. Well the problem im facing now is there is a page where a flash movie should play in a particular section on the page but it wont play on the secure pages, on the unsecure pages it plays fine. I had added an Active X work in accordance with the Lawsuit issue but it still wont play.
i have an ecommerce site that is split across two domains, a secure space that retains cc details and the main site where contact information and order details are held. I need to be able to produce a report that displays both sets of info in a printable document. aside from using iframes is there a better way of doing this?
If I create a simple login page and then store the UserId is a session and check its validity in the subsequent pages, How secure will the site be. I know the same question has been asked in the PHP forum
Code: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233118 But how can I make my site secure enough in asp
I may be in over my head on this one... VERY new to ASP. I have a potential client which is a marine loan broker. He wants an online credit application for the boat dealers he works with (20 different ones). He wants the credit app to be co-branded. Dealer/LoanCompany logos at the top would be sufficent. The dealer would have a link on there own site to the loan company's site but wants it to look like they are "Partners" and not just being shullde from one site to the next.
Is there a way to display different dealer logos based on the referrer URL? I would rather have one creditapp.asp that displays the proper logos depending on the referrer over building 20 creditapp.asp's. He doesn't need the form data written to a database. He just wants the form data emailed to him. (this I can do) How secure is that emailed data?
Right now, I'm trying to use WSH to run PSCP (command-line version of PuTTY). I've tested the command I'm using by opening a DOS box manually on the server, and the test file is successfully transferred. I've run Filemon and Regmon while running my sample ASP page, and see no permissions problems. I've tried running cmd.exe and passing PSCP as the parameter.
I've tried running PSCP.exe directly. I've even tried using ASPexec to run it instead of WSH. None of these have worked. I always get the same thing -- error code 0 (success) returned from WSH or ASPexec, but when I look at the second server the file never got there, and when I look at terminal services on the Web server PSCP is still running.
I'd like to create a secure login from an ASP page to a specific SQL Server 2000 Db. Is there an accepted methodology for doing this? Are there any resourses that show how this can be done?
Here's what I/m doing to sanitize/validate/secure my input.
1. The front end checks what kind of data is entered. 2. I am using parameterized query instead of concatenated strings (Against XSS) 3. I am replacing symbols like <,>,# etc with their appropriate entity number eg. & #32; without the space. (Agains SQL Injection)
Can someone please explain to me the basics of creating a secure connection (we're looking at using Authorize.net) and possibly point me in the direction of other resources for getting some info?
I have a site designed with ASP 3.0 code (HTML and vbscript) that I want to protect from being visible. I want this code to be non-visible and hack-proof. Is there a way to either encrypt or protect another way to ensure that my code is not stolen?
I have a client with their own W2k server and their IT guy refuses to turn on the SMTP service for fear of it becoming hijacked by spammers.
However, they also want their web site to perform some emailing functions I would normally use CDOSYS for.
I'm having them look into alternate SMTP servers to use with CDOSYS, but I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a 3rd-party ASP-based SMTP app that might be more secure than IIS' built-in service?
I have written a simple script that is called every 75 seconds or so to test whether the SQL Server database is running. The script is contained in a page that is not linked to in the site.
The thing is I have hard coded the database information on the page, I was thinking of putting the connectionstring into my global.asa file as an application variable.
How secure are the two options?
Will there be any performance issues? Bearing in mind that this page is called every 75 seconds.
I have set up an asp script which writes the output of a form to a database.I have achieved my database connection like this:Code:
DIM objConn Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _ Server.MapPath ("contact-2000.mdb") & ";User ID=admin" objConn.Open
How do i go about making the database secure? at the moment anyone could view the source of the asp script and download the database.Which folder should the database be stored in? iv heard of using the root folder? at present the database is located in the same folder as my asp file.is there a way of setting up a password on the databas ein access and passing the password from my asp script to the database. the password would have to be encrypted though.
I have written a web app in asp3 which is used by lots of users.The data is all held server side.However,I want it so that the users can export the data in a csv file,much like you can download a statement from online banking.
However,I don't want to save the file to the server,as then anyone else might guess the filename and download it.Is there any way to directly generate a file from an asp script.i.e.instead of asp returning html,it returns csv data which the user can save away.
there is a way to post form variables in the best secure way... i don't sure how or what is the technical way to do this and that is the aim of this subject... but somehow the form write all the inputes into cookie and than the asp file read the form outputs from the cookie and not from the form itself... why? how it works?
I have an ASP application that I would like to give out to customers. how do I control the licencing. They will get the source code.. (I know I can put it into a DLL - its a possibility) but even then they can simple copy it elsewhere.
So what I thought was some code looks at the servers name, IP and current date and generates a code based on that. Then, I create a code at my end that will only work for that server name, IP and up to a date I specify. The code would be encrypted somehow. Does that sound like it would work?
how do i restrict anyone by changing an asp file. can it be done using visual source safe? Is there any way that i can stop any one from making changes in my asp file.
Is it safe to store credit card information in the ASP session state to be ultimately transmitted to VeriSign? I have a set of forms that are in the format of a wizard and I need to maintain the information through the pages. I know cookies are potentially unsafe, and I don't want to be responsible for credit card information being stored in my databases. I would use this type of method...
Code: <% Session("CCNumber") = Request.Form("CCNumber") %> If it helps, I have a VeriSign SSL certificate.
Are there any down sides to making the whole site jump to a secure layer from the word go? I have a site which does this from the point of login, but for people who don't login it stays in the normal zone. Just wondering about any possible side effects from making the default.asp jump straight into https unless it's there already.
I have a client who needs to be able to upload confidential documents (.doc and PDF) to a "hidden" area within their website so other members of their organization can later view them at their convenience. This area would be restricted by logins and passwords, but it also needs to be secure enough that no outsiders could gain access to these documents if they tried.
I've read on here about placing files in a directory outside of the root directory and then reading them back with a script but I'm wondering if there are other options that would be even more secure than this. Maybe with using some sort of file encryption or something else used in conjunction with files outside the root. I would be open to any 3rd party commercial software if someone has had good experience with it. Does anyone have suggestions to offer?
