ASP Session Management

Is there any differenc ein the way ASP handles the Session management in Windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0 and 2003 Server with IIS 6.0?

Did anything changed with respect to the Cookie Management?

My code works well in 2000 with IIS5.0 and if I changed my deployment environment to Windows 20003 with IIS 6.0, Cookie management is not consistent and I am not able to maintain the sessions at some places.

Session ID Management

I am developing a Simple ASP Application with a Login page. I want to know how session ID can be generated after User has authenticated instead of generation along with the Login page request.

Also Session ID must be unique each time the user logs in. This is required so that Session Hijacking and Session Fixation could be prevented. Should I have to use other process instead of General ASP Session Management.

Cookies , Session Which Is Better?

I need some help regarding cookies and session objects and also
global.asa file

I am creating one cookie when a user logs in on my website.
The cookie stores the login name of the user. I want that cookie
should get deleted when user closes the browser without signing out.

I think it is done in global.asa file . But i don;t know how to do it?
Please Explain me the working of global.asa file.

Also If I am creating a cookie and other site is also creating a
cookie of same name then does this will create a problem?.

which is safe and better .. creating cookies or creating session
variables.

Session Cookies

I narrowed down with the shopping cart system on my site to the fact that session cookies are not enabled (or being allowed) in IE on some browsers...

I guess the default setting is "Automatic Cookie Handling"

it says that it uses P3P(W3C standard) to determine what cookies should be allowed and what should not...

what is the criteria to allow or block the acceptance of the cookie? I guess I will have to modify the site accordingly? Also what about older browsers...

I need to be able to user session variables on the site..

obviously if users disables cookies all together it will not work.. but it should allow for session cookies to be used.. no?

ServerXMLHTTP, Session And Cookies

I try to use ServerXMLHTTP object to get the session infomation from a

set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false
xmlhttp.send ""
Response.write xmlhttp.responseText

Session With Cookies Disabled?

I am using a couple of session variables in my site. From what I can figure
out, session information is stored on the users computer in a cookie -

If the user has cookies disabled, do session variables still work - just
without the option of setting the Timeout property, as I'm assuming?

Session Cookies Disappear!

I recently discovered that my session cookies on the web host disappear within 30 seconds. I created some very simple asp scripts (it took me a while until I
discovered why my shopping cart acts very weird...) to check the session
cookies.

On one asp page I set up cookies:

setcookie.asp
<%
Session("TransactionID") = 15
Session("CustomerID") = 1
%>

and on

readcookie.asp
<%
response.write "Session(""TransactionID"")=" & Session("TransactionID") &
"<br>"
response.write "Session(""CustomerID"")=" & Session("CustomerID") & "<br>"
%>

The same asp pages run on my XP Pro show that the session cookies don't
expire as long as I close the browser, while on the remote web server, if I
do a refresh on readcookie.asp after 30 seconds, they are gone.

I run ASP on the server and all I know is that it is a Plesk server. No idea
if it actually a Linux server or a Windows one...

Do I have to setup expiry time or something for session cookies?

Using Cookies & Session Vars In Asp

I'm involved in quite a large project which has a slightly unusual
form of login (at least I think it's unusual!). I'm creating a site in
ASP (actually Chilisoft ASP) where access to all pages has to be
secured via login. The odd bit is that while the login page will be on
this site, the login process itself will be carried out on a
completely separate domain - this is the client's requirement so I
have no choice.

On login, the user will be assigned a 24 hour cookie by this 2nd
domain and then be passed back to the site I'm involved with. My site
then needs to assign a similar cookie (I'm assming that I won't be
able to read the other domain's cookie) and allow access to the site
for 24 hours.

I'm wondering if it's most efficient to assign a session variable to
indicate the user is logged in once my cookie has been generated
(rather than have every page check for a cookie again) and on
subsequent sessions during the 24 hour period to 1st check for session
var, then the cookie and then, if cookie exists, to assign the session
variable again.

Session Variables And Cookies

We've just started getting a weird (and serious) problem with our ecommerce website.

Customers are logging in, which sets a session variable to their username (retrieved from the db). Then for no apparent reason at all, they'll be asked to login again a couple of minutes later.

e.g. Customer logs in, gets told they've logged in successfully, and they can access pages that require them to be logged in. Then, for example, they go to their 'My Account' page and are able to view it with no problems...simply refreshing the page a few times suddenly brings them back to the login page. Then a few more clicks on the 'My Account' button (without logging in a second time) and they're able to view it again.

It's really strange, it's as though the server loses track of the session for a moment, and then finds it again.

We're also getting problems with the shopping cart cookie that can display different quantities in the 'View Cart' page at different times without the customer actually changing the cart contents. Even after the customer completes an order and the cart contents are destroyed, the 'View Cart' page can continue to display the items they just purchased when it should be saying 'Your cart is empty'.

Given that we're having problems with both the cart cookie AND the login session variable (which also uses a cookie), and I'm almost 100% certain I've not touched any code that could interfere with either of these, I'm guessing that this is probably a problem with our ISP's web server but I'm not really sure. I really just want to see what you all think - if you think it's server related then I'll stop tearing my hair out going through all my code to see if it's our problem.

Stylesheet Switching, Session/cookies

Code:

<%
Dim currentDesign, tempCSS
currentDesign = "default.css"
tempCSS = Request.QueryString("cssfile")
If tempCSS <> "" Then currentDesign = tempCSS
%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>West Cheshire College</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%=currentDesign%>" title="default" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">chaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnggggggggeeee</div>
<p>
<a href="default.asp?cssfile=bluetext.css">Change Style</a>
</body>
</html>

So I have the two style sheets, default and blue text...the asp switches the style sheets around.

What I need now is for the var to be remembered...any suggestions?

Are Session Variables More Secure Then Cookies?

Are session variables more secure then cookies?

Session cookies (cookies with no expiration) are destroyed when the browser is destroyed.

Session variables are destroyed when the browser is destroyed OR after a time period.

So, in that way, they are secure from the data persisting on the client.

However, while they are in use, can cookies and/or session variables be made secure without encryption?

How much more secure are session variables than cookies?

Session Variables And Cookies Breaking

The login state in my site relies on a combination of session variables and encrypted cookies. Some of my users are reporting that they are being "logged out" by the system - which seems to be related to their cookies being blanked out. I've checked all of the code and now that it's not being overwritten by my ASP.

The weird thing is that my site has two domain names, both pointing to the same pages and directories (no redirect). If this problem is happening to them and they switch to the other domain name and log back into the site, they stay logged in no problem. It also seems to not recur if the person is "logged out" and then logs back into the site on their own.

I had one problem like this in the past, because I had a tracking cookie that was being written on every page, and found that some browsers (don't remember which) had a limit of how many cookies could be written - and when they hit the limit the oldest cookie was tossed out. However, I don't have any code doing this now.

Anybody have any ideas what could be going on? Are there any session variable/cookie limits on the server side?

ASP Session/Cookies, Help To Protect Page From Non Users

ASP Session/Cookies, Help to Protect Page from Non users I am a beginner and very urgently need some help

I have created a asp page, that takes in a username and password and validates it as follows and then if true continues to the pages requested.

Code:

'Read in the password for the user from the database
If (((Request.Form("txtUser")) = rsCheckUser("User_pass")) and (rsCheckUser("User_lev") = 1) ) Then
'If rsCheckUser("User_level") = 1 Then
'THE ABOVE CHECKS THE INFO IS CORRECT AND IT REDIRECTS TO THE PAGE BELOW and Session=True

'If the password is correct then set the session variable to True
Session("blnIsUserGood") = "True"

'Redirect to the authorised user page and send the users name
Response.Redirect"user_self_update_form.asp?ID=" & rsCheckUser("ID") & ""


'Close Objects before redirecting
Set adoCon = Nothing
Set strCon = Nothing
Set rsCheckUser = Nothing


End If

Now this code takes you to page :Response.Redirect"user_self_update_form.asp?ID=" & rsCheckUser("ID") & ""
Which is something like /project/user_self_update_form.asp?ID=1

Since after the login you do to this, you are allowed to see this page.

But The page user_self_update_form.asp?ID= can also be access if you just put the link on the browser. Lets say i log in as ID 2, and just change the ID to 3 on the address bar in the browser, i will log into someone elses page.

How to i block this from random access and only the SPECIFIC USER?

Code for user_self_update_form.asp (the protected page unless you are logged it):
The Session = False part just does not work here, so if you get this link of someone, you can just get it, and you are not redirected.

<%
'If the session variable is False or does not exsist then redirect the user to the unauthorised user page
If Session("blnIsUserGood") = False or IsNull(Session("blnIsUserGood")) = True then
'Redirect to unathorised user page
Response.Redirect"unauthorised_user_page.htm"
End If
%>

<%
'Dimension variables
Dim adoCon 'Holds the Database Connection Object
Dim rsGuestbook 'Holds the recordset for the record to be updated
Dim strSQL 'Holds the SQL query for the database
Dim lngRecordNo 'Holds the record number to be updated
'Read in the record number to be updated
lngRecordNo = CLng(Request.QueryString("ID"))

and all the other protected into here:

Username/Password Form And Session Cookies

I am new to asp. I am trying to setup a log-in screen and am having trouble figuring out how to set the session cookie. I found the bit of code below, and it works if I enter a specific 'email' and 'password' into the "if" statement, however we have multiple users logging into the section. How can I set it up so that if the form is successfully submitted using any of the multiple email/password combos then it creates the session?

Example found...

<%
Username=Request.Form("email")
Password=Request.Form("Password")
If email="emailaddress" AND Password="password" Then
Session("Loggedin")=True
End If

Accept /decline Page - Session Cookies

I need help with setting up a page where the viewer has to accept terms before they can access the rest of the website.

The page will have a bit of text explaining why they need to accept oor decline the terms and then have 2 buttons. ie. accept or decline.

What I need to be able to do is set this up so that if the viewer tries to bypass the accept/ decline page they will get re-directed to it. If they have clicked the accept button then they can view anywhere on the site.

I understand that 'sessions' in IIS don't actually close until about 20 mins after the user has left the site and can live with that. But if they come back the next day they must go through the accept/decline page to get into the site. It doesn't have to have usernames or password, they just have to accept.

I understand that you set up several pages to do this, i.e. the accept/decline page, a 'checkterms' page (which sets the session cookie?) and then some code on every other page on the site to check for the presence of the session cookie and let you view if it is there. If not, redirects you to the Accept/Decline page.

The problem I have is I don't know what code to write and where to put it into the page.

Session Cookies - Detecting Specific User-agent/IP?

I'm new to using session cookies and need just a bit of help. On the introduction page to my project, I'm setting:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
response.cookies("user")="authenticated"
%>

Then, on subsequent pages, I'm checking for the cookie, and redirecting if it's not there:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
If NOT request.cookies("user") = "authenticated" Then
response.redirect "http://somepage"
End If
%>

What I need to do is incorporate an ignore element (by user-agent or IP) into where it checks for the cookie. For instance, if a user has an IP of 127.0.0.1, it ignores whether they have the cookie or not and lets them view the page.

The reason I'm doing this is I have a search engine that's crawling the site and it doesn't always go through the front page - therefore, it's getting redirected on most of the pages it sees. So what I'd like to do is have the script see that user-agent or IP, then ignore the cookie requirement.

Is that possible?

Creating Cookies In Global.asa Session_OnStart But Cannot Read Cookies On Subsequent Pages.

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:

dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)

When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,

Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.

I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.

Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

Management Thingy

I have been asked to create a contact form for a website in ASP that will mail off the form data to a e-mail address but also log the e-mail data in a database.
They then want a web page on-line that they can view all the e-mails in (not a e-mail client, just a html view of each one).Now i have two issues with this, 1. i have never coded in ASP in my life, (php yes, lots) and 2. i dont see the point in being able to view them online when they will have the e-mail in their desktop mail client.Does anyone know of a script that will do what i'm after that is free and uses MSAccess not SQL Server?It's a big ask, but if there was something a bit like it i could have a go at modifying it.

Link Management

Could anyone tell me what big corporations do for link management? For my site, whenever I want to change a URL, I don't want to because I know there are 10 pages with that link...

But, right now I'm doing a redesign and will be editing every page, so I thought I'd better find out if there's an efficient way to manage my links...

My first thought was to create a page which I include in every page, and this page has all the links for diff pages, like so:

[vbs]
' For Default.asp

lnkTitle = "view.asp?articleid=" & rsArt("articleid") & ""

' Then using like:

<a href="<%= lnkTitle %>">
[/vbs]

But, I'd like to know maybe of an easier or more efficient way... If anything is database related, I use mySQL on a Win 2000 machine.

them and display them one at a time. Currently it the client tries to
download them all at the same time, or four at a time. This slows down
the downloads to an unbearable rate.

Is there a component that allows you detect when an image has been
downloaded and then allow a trigger to start downloading the next one?

Any Ideas?
