Are Server Variables Secure?
I'm working on a shopping cart page. In page A (checkout) the user
enters their credit card information. On postback, if everything is
correct, it sends the user to page B (confirmation). My question is,
can I (or should I) use server variables to send CC information to page
B?
My boss doesn't want me to store this information in the SQL
database we're using. Obviously cookies are out of the question and so
is passing info through request.querystring, so I was thinking on using
session variables for this, but not sure if it's safe.
What should I do?

Secure Session Variables
I am trying to develop a forum in asp. I want to try and make it as secure as possible. I understand that if someone knows or guesses a session ID they can post requests to the server and potentially gain unauthorised access. How can I go about doing this securely? I did think about using random strings as session id's but then how could i check to see if the user is logged in if i dont know what the session id is.

Secure Are Session Variables
Example: session("IsLoggedIn")=false Can this be changed on the user's machine by editing the cookie directly? (Please tell me it can't!). If so, will ASP know it has been tampered with, and refuse to "accept" it if changed to "true" ?

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?

CDO Email From SSL Secure Server
I've built a survey and tested everything is working fine - except fo one problem, that i have been told MUST be fixed I am using CDO.Message to send email message to the respondants of the survey - a lovely thank you message. It is sending the emails fine to all email address i have tested, except for email address here where I work, and I have been unable to find a reason for this the web scripts are running on a secure server (SSL certificate) and all is working great except the email issue. the actual code that is sending the emails works perfectly on non-secure server, and seems to be fina on the secure server except for the most important(apparently) email addresses. Does anyone have any ideas why the scripts would not send to one set of email addresses, but seems to work for all other when on SSL, but works for ALL email address when not on SSL.

Grab Server Variables
I am trying to grab the server name and IP address using Response.Write (Request.ServerVariables("ALL_HTTP"). I am using this one because I wanted to see everything that is brought back. The server name I am getting back seems to be the host name found in IIS not the fullly qualified domain name of the server. Is there a way to get the fully qualified domain name of the server? Also this server is one of two servers in a cluster and the IP address being returned is the IP address of the cluster server. Is there a way to get the IP address of the server that I am actually logged into?

Session Variables Cleared Afer Server.Execute
I have a very odd situation here. I have an administration page, where based on a users permissions, a recordset is called from the SQL server which has a list of paths to "Module Menus". Each of these menus are then placed into the page by calling Server.Execute(rs_Modules("ModulePath")). This works fine for up to 15 "menus" After that, the session variables that were set (not including those called by Global.ASA) are no longer set. Code:

Secure
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?

Secure FTP With ASP?
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.

Secure Page
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.

Secure ASP Application

(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?

Secure Documents
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?
