View RepliesI recently moved an application from W2K / IIS5 to W2K3 / IIS6.
In the new environment user sessions expire after 2-3 minutes? I can't
find any solution to this, although I found quite a few references to
this problem on the web.
Some of our web site users are experiencing a strange behavior of IE 6 (Sp1 or not). It looks like their ASP Session Cookie expire before time.
Here are some details. The user connects to our web site and we keep his ID in the Session object. At the beginning of every page, we check the presence of this ID and if it is missing, we redirect the user to the connection page.
Somewhere in the site, we create a temporary cookie. At some point, this new cookie is deleted with the following ASP code :
Response.Cookies(STR_FICHR_TEMN_CONTX).Path = "/"
Response.Cookies(STR_FICHR_TEMN_CONTX) = ""
Response.Cookies(STR_FICHR_TEMN_CONTX).Expires = CDate
("2000-01-01")
When the user clics on an hyperlink, he is redirected to the connection page because his ASP cookie is no more (I have verified that in our IIS log : there is no request
logged after the execution of the above code).
Any ideas ? Could this be an Internet Explorer bug ?
understand that when one closes the browser, the session gets killed in ASP,
i encountered a scenario, where even after the browser was closed, the session was active, let me explain, i have written a code to check if the session variable contains the loginname then i am allowing access to a certain asp page to the user.
the code worked. thereafter i closed the browser, opened the browser again and accessed the same url, surprisingly it allowed access to the page and did not ask me for the login name, clearing the cache also did not help.
Further, I need to update some table as well when the user closes his browser window (an update query to set the flag to 0 for tracking user status). How can I do this. A sample code will be highly appreciated.!
Lastly, when the user clicks the logoff button, he successfully logout , but he can come back with the back button on the browser. Is there a way to prevent this,that is, once the user logout and tries to come back, he SHOULD NOT be allowed to do so rather he should be redirected to a page where he can login again.
Did anyone know how to set the page are expire after logout? or something that had been sent using form. user can not go back t oview it again by clicking at the back button. Like hotmail.com
when user log out and hit the back button, the page display that the page are expire.
Is this an accurate article on making web pages expire?
View Replies View RelatedI've searched the net for ways to expire a page immediately, so when the
user hit 'Back', they receive the "Page Has Expired" error page and I've
seen a number of posts on how to do it - with the code below:
<%
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #1/1/1980#
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
%>
However, when I try using this code, nothing happens, when I click 'Back',
it simply takes me back to the previous page. The "Expired Page" error page
should display, correct?
How can I set my cookies to expire when the the user leaves the site?

Response.Cookies("KensSurvey").Expires=?
Whenever password is expired & force user to change NT password for the web server, it seems to be assumption that asp application gives "interanal server error". Is it true that forcing user to change password will generate "internal server" error? BTW..this is caused in our intranet site and it is NT authenticated site.
View Replies View RelatedWhat causes asp pages to "expire" - for example, on some PCs (not all, not all the time), when you hit the back button you get a "page expired" message.

View Replies View RelatedWe are planning to set-up a load balanced web environment. Accordingly, we are going to change the session management on our website from the classic ASP Session State and session variables, to a database method.
Does any one have any pointers as to how I might approach this, so that I can have the same sort of functionality the ASP sessions give without having to create database columns for each session variable I wish to create. I am thinking along the lines of some serialised dictionary or something that I can stick in a blob column.
I want to expire a cookie collection in my asp page and I gave it like this;
Response.Cookies("whereq").Expires = Now()
and this "whereq" collection has 50 keys. The problem is my cookie didn't expire from the above code. I hope there should be a way to do so without writing 50 expire lines.
Is it possible to make a cookie NEVER expire? or not?

Session expiring immediately. what could be the reason ?

View Replies View Relatedi have 2 application variables called totalAdminLoggedIn and totalUserLoggedIn
when ever an admin login, I increment the totalAdminLoggedIn value by one
and when a normal user logg in, the totalUserLoggedIn value will be incremented by one.
how can i change the values when the session expire ? i can reduce the value manually when they logoff like:
if session("userCategory")="admin" then
Application("totalAdminLoggedIn")=Application("totalAdminLoggedIN")-1
elseif session("userCategory")="user" then
Application("totalUserLoggedIn")=Application("totalUserLoggedIn")-1
end if
session.contents.remove "userCategory"
but what if the session expires automatically or if they close the window suddenly?
ie. i want to do something like below? Code:
How does the expire date work setting it server side with asp.
I know with javascript setting it client side it will be set to the clients
local time, and therefore expire when the clients local time reaches the set
expire-time.
But if it is an expire time set on my server in California, and the cookie
is put on a computer that is running on London Time, and the expire time is
set at the server as 20 minutes from now, the London computer will think
that the cookie has expired 7 hours and 40 minutes ago, right?
How does this actually work? Is it proper to just set my expire time as:
dtmExp = DateAdd("n", 20, Now())
Response.Cookies("MyCookie").Expires = dtmExp
hi im trying to make a cookie behave like a session so every time i load or reload the page it gives him this line:
Response.Cookies("name").Expires = Now() + 0.015
but its not working..
if i load the page at 10:00 the cookie expires at 10:20
even though i reload the page at 10:10
what can i do? or those a cookie expires can only be set once?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the current time of the user's timezone in an asp page. Currently I am trying to do some frequency capping in an advertising system i am working on and i want a cookie to expire at the end of the day, in Pacific Standard time.
What is happening now is the cookie is expiring whenever the day ends on the users computer, but i want it to expire when the day ends in our time zone. Any ideas on hwo to do this?? Is there a function i can call to get the users current time based on their timezone?
I've created an admin side for my ASP site and I use session vars to provide
page security.
Just as a bit of advice, I want to know if I should expire each admin page
so that others can't bring them up. I know the session var check will
bounce them back to the login page, but I'd rather they didn't even see this
page if they aren't authorised.
For security purposes I would like to know how to disable. The back button in the browser and/or expire the page.

View Replies View RelatedI created a session variable in an asp page as below:

is it possible for me to read that same variable "userid" in a seperate perl script? if so how?
I have session time by default as 20 mints in iis.
I want to that to be increased by 60 mints in my application so that when user save changes after 21st mint the session should not be lost.
Can this be happen without changing the default time in iis since i have many other applications.
Any one know how to end all the session in asp application. Is there any other directive rather than '#include' to include a file in our Asp page.
View Replies View RelatedI was wanting to know if you could have a function within a session?Example:
Code:
<% Session("Message") = MyFunction() %>
Is that possible? Ok, maybe not "is it possible" but can you use the session message to dictate where the function outputs its data? Here's why I'm asking. I have an online testing app that when a person selects the wrong answer the correct answer (along with a bunch of other stuff) will be displayed on the page.
I'm getting it to display the correct answer and the other information, but the correct answer is at the top of the page screwing up my layout and the other information is doing what it should.
I am using an HTTPS connection and posting to an asp page that does a
redirect based on if the user is authenticated.
However, for some reason after the session is set and the user redirect
the session dies and the user logged out?
Any ideas?
The redirect looks like Response.Redirect "../welcome.asp".
I am using ServerXmlHttp in a client-side component to basically talk back to the Server within a webpage. I would like to be able to cache some information on the server so that when I callback, I do not have to reconstitue everything that I did for the intial request. However, the Sessions are different.
Is there a way to get the ServerXmlHttp session to impersonate the IE client session? Code:
