ASP :: IE Does Not Set-Cookie With ASPSESSIONID When User Comes With JSESSIONID

Server Times Out With ASPSESSIONID Cookie
I am using the XMLHTTP object to request a page from within another ASP page. For my scenario, the two pages should operate in the same session. However, when I request the second page, a new session is created. This makes sense since it is coming from a different client (the XMLHTTP object as opposed to my browser).

I've tried to pass the ASPSESSIONID cookie along with the XMLHTTP post, but every time I pass the valid cookie, the XMLHTTP request times out.

Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Is what I am trying to accomplish even possible?

Cookie And Db User Authentication
This is a question that has probably been answered before on the
newsgroup but probably in fragments. This is what I would like to do,
and I only have a very vague idea where to find the answer. Directions
would be useful.

1. Users arrive at the site. If they are registered they log in. If not
they sign up for registration.

2. The authentication information such as username and password are
held in a db, for security reasons the password should not be passed in
plain text.

3. When the user is logged in the session information should be held in
a cookie so that if the user returns in a short period of time they
will automatically be logged in. The cookie will also be used to
personalise certain parts of the site.

Login User With Cookie From Another Server
We have an intranet which is personalized using a cookie which we set. I have an outside vendor who is developing an application which will live on a seperate server. Is there a way they can read the cookie which we set to log user into their application so that we can make it a seamless transition?

Determine User's Cookie Acceptance
How do you determine whether a user allows cookies or not.

Many people told me that it can be done by writing a cookie and then retrieve it to test this feature, but it simply doesn't work.

What else can i do?

ASPSessionID
I can't seem to find again where this cookie is placed by IIS. Can someone
quickly respond with its location. Thank you.
Also, does anyone know if this system created cookie has the same attribute
of SECURE as does a developer created cookie? I know it's read only but how
can I secure it. I'm using 128 SSL in addition.

Question About ASPSESSIONID
It was recently brought to my attention that a cookie that gets set for access to our intranet is being appended with ASPSESSIONIDSCBRRTTR followed by a long string of random characters and no one seems to know who or what is setting this.

Can anyone provide me with some insight? Is this an automatic ASP or IIS function or is it something to be concerned about?

Change ASPSessionID
How do you change the ASPSessionID during a web session? I have an ASP
application in SSL. The first screen is a login screen, which requests user
id and password. An ASPSessionID is assigned for this page. Once the user
is authenticated by valid id/pwd, the second page starts the real
applicaiton. I want to change the ASPSessionID to be different from the
first login page, which was issued to an unauthenticated user. How do I do
that in ASP?

Response.cookie In Session_onstart Event And IE 6.0 Cookie Acceptance
When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if
I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is
still set, and I can get it on other pages.

I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why
does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart
event even when I have "block all cookies" set?

Session Cookie Vs. Regular Cookie
I want to know what's the differences between session cookie and regular cookie.

In ASP, when we create cookie, we do the following to identify an user:

Response.Cookies("name") = value

Is this regular cookie? How about session cookie? and when to use which?

ADSI - Trying To Enable A User - The User Add Works Very Well
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.....

Mail User Info To User
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.

How To Set Cookie To Nothing?
The problem is that the code for "change_school.asp" takes the user right to "portal.asp". I checked the code of "change_school.asp" and it does indeed set a cookie value for "school", but for some reason "default.asp" is still finding the old cookie stored and then redirecting...any ideas guys?

'code for change_school.asp...clears the cookie "school" and redirects to page (default.asp) where user can select a new school
<% Response.Cookies("school")= ""
Response.Redirect "default.asp" %>

'code for default.asp which allows user to select a new school, and if the cookie "school" has some value then they are redirected.
<%
If request.cookies("school") <> "" then
Response.Redirect "portal.asp"
end if
%>

Cookie And SQL?
On this website i am building it has password protection on certain pages. So i have a "login" portion on the right side of the page, that is shown on every page. When someone logs in is it possible to change that little section to just say Welcome so and so? Instead of having the username and password form with submit button?? Or is this something that requires some java to hide it?

Part II
When someone logs in i want them to recieve a cookie, in that cookie i want it to contain the person's name (wich i want the to be put next to the "welcome back on part I), email address, and up to four other numerical values. (some people will have greater access to sections of the site depending on who they are)

Is is possible to grab this information from the SQL database and put in the cookie? If so can anyone please show me, point me in right direction, ect?

Cookie Value
I'm using FrontPage Database results wizards to retrieve data from Access. I have a cookie containing a number I'd like to insert in a custom query. Whenever the page opens, I want the query to run using the value in the cookie. I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the cookie value into something the FP webbot will accept in the query.

Cookie
What i am trying to do is this: I want to make a cookie. If someone comes back to a page (say after an hour after they left)i want them to get a specific popup. If someone comes back after than hour I want them to get a different popup, telling them something different.

Cookie Detection
I'm going to go down this route of Cookie detection

<%

If Request.Querystring("Check") = "" Then

Session("cookietest") = "True"

Response.Redirect("cookietest.asp?Check=True")

Else

If Session("cookietest") Then



Else



End If

End If

%>

I’m a little worried, do you know how spiders work with regards to this sort of thing? My site gets some traffic due to it being spidered by the likes of google and I don’t want to loose that flow.

If I use this at the entry point of my site to redirect browsers with cookies turned off to a page telling them to turn them on will that stop the spiders?

Cookie Availability
If my user turns cookies off, both permanent and temporary cookies can't be used or only permanent cookies can't be saved on the user's machine?

Cookie Not Being Deleted.. How Do I?
I have a cookie with a path of "/"

im trieng to delete it before the expired time has comed anyway i am trieng to delete it by setting the cookie to ""

like so: Response.Cookies("name") = "";

but its not working but...i found out that if i dont set the path it is being deleted but i have to set the path because from some reason without it i have issues where the cookie is not found in some pages.

A Cookie Disappears, But Not All Of Them
I have a problem with a Cookie in an ASP page. Without any apparent reason, one of the Cookies disappears, but the others are ok.

I'm at Page1, a link goes to Page2. Page2 redirects to Page3 and Page3 redirects to Page1. When I'm back to Page1, sometime, one of the cookies don't exist anymore... But the others are there! The disappeared Cookie isn't always the same, in the 18 Cookies that I have.

The environment is composed of 4 clustered servers. Page1 is SSL, but not Page2 and Page3.

I don't have more than 4KB (1.86KB to be more precise) of data and I don't have more that 20 Cookies on the same domain.

I added the following code:

Sessions Without Cookie
Do you want manage ASP Sessions variables without Session Object and without Cookie?

Retrieving Cookie Value
I want to retrieve the value of a cookie to make a form a little more user friendly (our intranet is configured to set a cookie for User First Name, Last Name and Email when they log in)

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to retrieve the value of the cookie. I've been trying:

<%
Response.write Request.Cookies(UserLName)
%>

But it gives me an error - I used Checky to make sure the cookies are there and they do exist:

Name:mascot
Value: UserLName=Tarby

Can someone give me some advice?

Encoding Cookie.
When I run the ASP page for the first time, I find out, that the Cookie file name contains some several special characters such as %5F, which are encoded with a URLEncode function. So, I have the following string (after convert): ....

How To Remove Cookie?
How can I remove a cookie from the client in ASP? I'm not talking about setting the value to a blank string and I've tried this:

[vbs]
Response.Cookies("mycookie").Expires = Now()
[/vbs]
and
[vbs]
Response.Cookies("mycookie").Expires = Date() - 100
[/vbs]

Neither of which work.

Is there any way to completley remove the cookie?

Cookie Array
Is there a way to store an array of information in a cookie? ie. a user can have a "x" long list of a variable stored in a cookie, so when they return to the site this information can be retrieved.

Get Cookie Path
Is it possible to get the physical path of a cookie? (C:Document and SettingsmyLoginCookies)

Because I need "myLogin" (the Windows Login), and I can't get with request.ServerVariables("logon_user") or ("author_user") or whatever...

Write Db Value To A Cookie?
I select 'name' from the customer table.

Is it possible to write it into a cookie?

<%
Response.Cookies("customer")("firstname") = '" & objRecordset(NAME) & "'
%>

when I try to write the above using

<%
Response.Write (Request.Cookies("customer")("firstname"))
%>

i get the following ....

Cookie Testing
I need to revisit cookie testing. On the home page and every product page I
write a cookie. I do this because some users enter by direct links to
product pages.

<%
Response.Cookies("cookietest") = ("49")
Response.Cookies("cookietest").Expires = Date + 2
%>

On the cart page I test for the cookie...

<%
If Request.Cookies("cookietest") <"49" Then
Response.Redirect("err.asp?e=1")
End If
%>

I have a user that insists he has cookies enabled, yet he keeps getting
redirected to my error page which suggests he does not have cookies enabled.
What could cause this? Is the above too simple for all circumstances?

Is there more extensive code that I could setup on a hidden page where I can
send users to get read out on how they actually have their browsers setup?
i.e. Run a test on their browser and the results are emailed to me.

Creating A New Cookie
I have an asp page where i created cookies-for admin and for user. The aspx page reads these cookies. Everything seems to work fine but now i have to create a new cookie if cookie has expired or if cookie is null. Also, i am having problems with the expire because if the username belongs to the admin for example and then i want to change
the username that belongs to a normal user the cookie recognises the first (admin) cookie. How do i solve this? .....

Cookie Poisoning
I have created a page where i got sth like this:

if (request.cookies("example") <> ""
response.redirect("login.asp")
response.end
end if

(I will try to explain as easy i can), so in the login.asp using a .mdb i get the username and check with the password, and putting the username in the cookie in this case called example, but using some cookie poisoning i can be anybody logged in, even sb out of the table of users, i didn't use the session object, i wanted to use a cookie because i got curiosity and i didn't understand what is the difference, and actually i don't understand so much...anyways i got 2 questions, how i do sth for protect the cookie for cookie poisoning and what is the difference between the session and the cookie (from the little what i know is that the session is a predefined cookie that has some encrypting stuff and that so on and got some properties, methods right? and the cookie is just a information holder without any extra stuff as the session object has, am i right?)

Encrpyt A Cookie
I have created code to create a cookie about a user when their login and when they tick a remember me box.

The problem is though the the data in the cookie is stored in plain text. Which means I can use firefox and it webdeveloper tool to look at the cookie and change the values.

My question is how do you encrpyt a cookie so it doesnt store the info in plain text?

Cookie Abandon
well in session we got session.abandon and all the bad sessions gone... i need to delete cookies from users side, there is option for this in asp dot net but in classic asp how we can do it?

Response.Cookies("firstname").Expires=?

Cookie Not Being Prompted
I use the following simple code in an asp to test how cookies work ...

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Cookies("CookieTest")="Lovely Cookie !"
Response.Cookies("CookieTest").Expires=DateAdd("n",5,Now())
%>
<HTML><BODY>The cookie has arrived !</BODY></HTML>

I've set my IE6.0 to prompt me for all cookies, which it does for all web pages I visit,
but not for the above asp page which is hosted from IIS5.1 on my PC. I can see the cookie being created in my Cookies folder, but would like to be prompted first!

Cookie Problems
I''m having a problem with cookies that is driving me insane :).
- If a user comes to http://domain.com and a cookie is set for them, then the user for whatever reason jumps to http://www.domain.com one of the 2 happens:

1) The cookie we set can not be read (expected), but then a new one can not be written ether (I looked at the server headers and although the cookie information is sent, IE ignores it).

2) The cookie from http://domain.com can be read, but you can not write to this cookie. Same here cookie is sent back from the server but IE ignores it.

Now, if its the other way around. If a user comes to http://www.domain.com, a cookie is set, then he/she jumps to http://domain.com:

The cookie can not be read (expected), but a new one can be written (as it should be).

So after driving my self insane, i whent out and tried it out in other servers to see if it was true. I tried 4 different sites which used cookies (for shopping carts). I did the same tests, (Go in via domain.com, add something to cart, then, jump to www.domain.com, cookie would not be overwritten. Then did the other way around, everything worked fine.)

Sample code: .....

Cookie Test?
I have always used this in ASP to test if the client is accepting cookies:

<%@language="VBScript"%>
<%
Session ("nc") = 1
If Len(Session("nc")) = 0 Then
'Cookies Off
Else
'Cookies On
End If
%>

But I only ever tested it in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 though not sure. Anyway with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 Len(Session("nc")) <> 0 always whether cookies are on or off. Can anyone suggest a better cookie test that will work in most browsers?

Reading A Cookie Value?
am trying to create a login page for the first time, I have a login page, validate login page and if the password is correct it takes me to the first page.

I have customized this code someone else created,but what I have a problem with now is I need to log who submitted that data and that is why I am trying to read UserName cookie so I can later match that data.

This is the error I get which is telling me that it is reading the cookie since this is the UserName I am logging in with
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'boxhill'.

but I can't see what is wrong, and there is not much out there for this kind of error.

So I can login successfully but now i need to read and dispaly that cookie and then insert the value of the cookie but,but don't worry about that now, just trying to give you the full picture.

So this is the code for reading the cookie ...

Cookie.Path
I'm writing an ASP validation script that uses a cookie that is created by a user validation page and has a single value. This site will be used only under Internet Explorer 5 and more recent.

My problem is that the page called after the cookie creation can't read the cookie unless I set the Cookie.Path attribute to "". All the documentation that I found about it is very brief, don't explain how it really works and if there's any kind of "side effects". An even stranger fact is that some people of my team can read the cookie without setting the Cookie.Path attribute.

Can anyone tell me how the Cookie.Path really works or witch browser settings make it needed (or not)?

Posting The Value Of A Cookie
Is it possible to post the value of a cookie through a hyperlink?

Session Or Cookie? Which Is Better?
Can anyone tell me the difference between Session and Cookie? Does Application Object and Session works the same way?

How do we know when to use Session and cookie?

Possible To Pass Cookie Value From VB To ASP?
I want to pass the value of the cookie created in VB to ASP. This doesn't work. Any idea?

About Max Size Of Cookie
cookie has a limit size? if yes, how big?

Using Response.cookie
Having just migrated to w2k from NT4, I've stumbled across an oddity with
cookie handling - at least, that's what it appears to be.
I (was) using response.buffer with .addheader to write two cookies into a
the http header for a particular page . Worked fine for three years.

After the upgrade, I'm finding that two copies of the same cookie appear,
one with blanks for values, the other with values filled in; this has the
effect of logging the user into the page if the first copy isn't blank....

So, I changed the code to use response.cookie, which is fine, but the
names/values get encoded, and unfortunately the software vendor uses dashes
in the name part.

Is there any way to force .cookie to not encode the '-'?

or do I need to look at javascript to write the cookie?

Cookie Security ?
I'm not really asking about "someone stole my credit card info through cookies".

Here's the deal:

I have 2 sites (different domain names) running from one server. One is SSL the other is not. The SSL site has a login and password, which return the user's unique id, which is stuck into a session cookie.

This cookie is then checked at every page because every page is built based on the user's id. If it is not present, the user is redirected to the login page.
If the id is wrong, there will be no information shown on the page.

My question is this, can the other (non-SSL) web site see this cookie? The site has no asp or anything else, but if someone "broke into" the non-secure site, could they read the cookie from the other site?

Response.Cookie
I am trying to add some basic security to my asp web pages. I have a logon screen which, when the logon and password are checked for validity, passes the user on to a registration screen using the code

response.Redirect "user_reg.asp?User=" & Request.Form("UserName")

I then inserted the following line before the redirect
response.Cookies("ValidUser") = "ValidUser"

I have the following check at the start of the user_reg.asp page
<%
if request.Cookies("ValidUser") <> "VaildUser" then
response.redirect "user_login.asp"
End if
%>

All that happens now is that when I log in validly user_login.asp is
redisplayed rather than the user_reg.asp.

Perhaps this is not sufficient to set the cookie? I have looked for it but
can't see it amoungst other cookies dated today.

Testing For A Cookie
I know very little about ASP and ASPX pagfes but i inherited a web site done by a guy who knew just a little more than me and I've worked around things with my knowledge of HTML and Javascript, as well as added on to the web site using Cold Fusion. But I am at a point that I need to be able to do more.

I have a ASPX page with a Log In button that I don't want see if a certain cookie exists. Is there a way to test for that cookie on the page and display or not display something based on that test?

Cookie Disabled
How can i detect cookies are disabled or not.

Cookie Won't Persist In IE
(I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my post - my question is about vbscript, but I didn't see any vbscript forum, so here goes.)

I've created a registration page on my website which gets called from a number of links on the site - I want to capture user information before allowing them access to these sections of the site.

Once a user has registered, I want to recognise that fact when they click on any of the other links, so I'm setting a cookie. However, while it works fine in Firefox, it won't persist in IE - even across a single session.

Here's the code I'm using :

In the 'Thank you for registering' page, the very first lines on the page are :

<%
Response.Cookies("Registered") = "True"
Response.Cookies("Registered").Expires = Date + 1000
%>

Where the links that require registration appear on the site, I am building the <a href> tag as follows :
<a href=
<% if Request.Cookies("Registered") = "True" then %>
"PageX.asp"
<% else %>
"Register.asp?RequestedArea=ReportDesign"
<% end if %>
class="bodyLink">Report Design</a>

but it keeps going to the Else part - ie. it's not finding that the Registered cookie has a value of True.

Remember Me Cookie
I am sure this is a simple process, however just cant seem to break it. I am new to asp and am trying to learn by trial and error. I cannot get this remember me check box to "remember me". Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

code from form on login page:

Cookie From Frameset
I have developed a site that uses cookies for a low-security login system, which works fine. The client now wants to put the entire site inside a frameset, with the parent page on another server, but when we do this the cookies are set (i can see them in netscapes cookie list) but then cannot be read. is this a domain problem? is there any way around this? I've been seeing a few things on p3p that might make this hard...

The Cookie Is Crumbling...
I am using the following code to create a
cookie:

Response.Cookies("bookedby")= Request.Form("txtBookedBy")
Response.Cookies("bookedby").expires="#July 29, 2003#"

However, when the page is opened I get the following
error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'Response.Cookies(...).Expires'
/MRBS/addbookingtodb.asp, line 5

Line 5 is when I try to set the expiry.
