Setting Session Cookie's Properties
I want to set the asp session id path property. How can I do that?
I mean, asp session id is stored in a cookie and like any other cookie it should have properties (or attributes), how can I control it?

Setting Session Variables In Cookies For Personalized Content
I have these 3 tabs that I want the user to be able to select, a variable to be set, and then each page they visit in the site to read that variable and subsequently display content based on the variable that is set. So, Sheridan tab sees "Sheridan" variable content, Gillette sees "Gillette" variable content, etc.....

ASP Forms And Setting Cookies
I have a simple textbox in a form, and I want to set a cookie in the whole process, plus go to a new ASP page. Here's the code for setting the cookie:
<% Response.Cookies("FirstName")='(contents of text box)' %>
but I don't see where to put it in the input form. Am I able to set a cookie and process the form to go to the second page, all on the first form? Can someone enlighten me?
Cookies Setting At Brinkster
PHP Code:
<%
If (not (session("MM_UserAuthorization") = "")) Then
Response.cookies ("UserAuthorization")=Session("MM_UserAuthorization")
Response.Cookies("MM_Username")=Session("MM_Username")
Response.cookies ("UserAuthorization").Expires= Now
Response.cookies ("MM_Username").Expires= Now

End if
If (Request.Cookies("UserAuthorization")="") Then

Response.End
Else

1st Question:
Why I cannot use the [asp][/asp] for my asp code posting? I need to use the [php][/php/] which lead to display PHP: header?
2nd Question:
My codes displayed above created using the Ultradev, and since I use free member services from brinkster, which does not allow the session authentication, I "convert" the session into cookies. My question is that:
Response.cookies ("UserAuthorization").Expires= Now
Response.cookies ("MM_Username").Expires= Now
What mean ... Expires= Now, and if i want to set the cookies expire based on session (per browser), what are the codes?

Setting A Form Field Value Using Cookies
I have a form on a page which I need to auto set certain fields from values stored in a Cookie.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">
RegisterForm.Prefix.value = Request.Cookies("store")("id1")
</SCRIPT>
That is how it is in my file yet it just appears empty but I know there is valid data in the cookie as I printed it on screen using:
<%
Response.Write(Request.Cookies("store")("id1"))
%>
So I figured maybe it was something to do with the script tags so I tried using the <% %> tags instead and I got an error saying something like Microsoft VBScript runtime object required.
Setting Cookies From Inside Function
I have a function that I'm using to loop through some db query results and put them into a table. Inside the function, I have a line to add certain values to a series of cookies (kind of like a cookie array) as such:
response.cookies("sclot" & ZZ) = LotNum
'response.write(request.cookies("sclot" & ZZ))
If I uncomment the second line, I pull my values just fine from inside the function. The problem is, if I use the exact same line to try to pull the values outside of the function, or from another page, it returns nothing. The whole reason I'm putting these values into cookies is so that I can pull this list up on another page, but I don't seem to be able to. Is there some reason that I would not be able to read a cookie that I set inside a function outside of it?
Issue With Cookies Not Getting Deleted Even After Setting A Previous Date In Expires Property
I am using the following to delete the contents of a cookie
Response.Cookies("maincookie").expires = DateAdd("d",-2,now)
Response.redirect "login.asp"
If i try to alert the value of the cookie in the same page, it shows
the old value. As well as when it is alerted from the login.asp it
shows the old value.
The problem is when i try to update the value of the cookie in the
login page, it does not update the new value.
Only if i close the browser and reopen, the new value gets updated and
even if the old value is originally present in the cookie.
I am specifying the domain and path when creating the cookie. the
expires property is set to date + 1 when creating.
What should be done to delete the contents of the cookie? Should i
specify the domain as well as path when changing the expires property?

Setting Session Variables
I have an ASP application (and associated .DLL) that generates HTML code.On one of my pages it generates a series of buttons (Input ... Language=vbscript ) each with an On Click sub associated with it. Once the ASP is expanded. each Onclick has only one statement in it, that is:

Setting Session Variable Maxes Dllhost
I have an ASP application that has been running for 5 years that I am now modifying. Since then, I have installed asp.net 1.1 and 2.0 on my xp pro box. Whenever I run the "login" code for the app, it crashes as my dllhost goes to 98% cpu. I have traced the code to this line:
Session("SCHUserID")=123
What is strange is if I set the value to 11 or lower, this does not fail. What is also strange is if I set Session("SCH1UserID")= 123 it works. I know this has to have something to do with running asp.net on this box as well. I have tried running the app in its own process (High) and creating it's own virtual directory with no luck.

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?

Session With Cookies Disabled?
I am using a couple of session variables in my site. From what I can figure

If the user has cookies disabled, do session variables still work - just

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?

View Replies View RelatedUsing 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.

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:

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.
