I'm facing a situation where my team leader wants me to create some ASP code that will pull the user's ID (which is no problem - request the LOGON_USER server variable) and THEN pull that user's NT Permissions to determine what kind of permissions the user will have when he/she comes onto the website. There is to be no logon screen at all. The permissions cannot be determined via a database or through cookies. Only NT Authentication can be used.
I have a small hunch that the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION server variable might provide a clue, but the value of that variable is a bunch of (encrypted?) gibberish that means nothing to me, except probably the NTLM part at the beginning. Is there a way to decode the value of that variable into something coherent that I can use in my code?
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.
I know how to grab the users windows login. I would like to use this to establish permissions for a user on my site. In order for this to be valid, I need for the user to have to verify their network password.
Is there any way to compare the password entered against the windows authentication? I would also like to be able to call the user by name instead of a login. Is there a way to get this from an Outlook address book or something?
I have a SQL table with two fields (userID, and userName). I would to create a UserVerification page that would you either the AUTH_USER or LOGON_USER to validate their access. If they have access, send them page to the page(s) they tried to open and display the userName, etc; if not, redirect to an not authorized page. The trouble I am having (other than being fairly new to ASP) is:
How do I set up two session variables - one to hold the authorized status and second to hold the UserName from the UserVerfication page. Secondly, how to you set up the verification page to redirect them back to the requesting page, if authorized.
USER AUTHENTICATION (LOGIN/LOGOUT procedure) When the user LOGS IN his user name, access rights and other user-related information is stored into Session variables
when the user LOGS OUT (or the session expires) this information is discarded
Session("access") = "" Session("login") = ""
NOTE: I do NOT use IP address for user authentication.
PROBLEM:
After the first user logs in to my site, any other user (different PC behind that NAT) that opens internet browser (MSIE) and visits my site is ALREADY logged in as the first user!
It seems that the problem is only restricted to users that are "hidden" behind single IP address (using NAT). The logging works perfectly for any not behind NAT user. It acts as if only one cookie file was created for all users that access my site from behid NAT; as if the cookie was created on the NAT router and not directly on client's computer.
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.....
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.
i want users to login to my web application using SQL authentication i.e whenever the page opens, it should display the SQL server login window. i know Login feature is in dreamweaver MX that i use, but unathurized users can lookup the password in your database.
Is it possible to authenticate a user who is trying to access a certain Div on a page??? I know how to authenticate a user accessing a standard ASP page, but is this possible with a Div!
I have a page that authenticates users by reading Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") and Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_TYPE"). When users try to access this page from windows NT/2000, it works fine (prompts them for their credentials when they're not on the same domain, and then lets them in). Now, some of the users got XP boxes, and can't get in to the page. It prompts them for their credentials but when they enter them, just keeps prompting them. The credentials they are entering are correct. What is different on XP that is causing this problem and is there any setting I can modify on the server side to prevent this from happening.
I have an asp page on IIS 5.0 and I''m trying to get a dialog box to pop up and ask for username password and domain to authenticate against NT. I have anonymous logins unchecked in the IIS properties page and access restricted on everything but it won''t ask for a username and password no matter what
I had to transfer an ASP Web Application (developed by another person) to a different web server. It seems to work but not completely.
I have some problems with authentication: it is based on a username and a password stored in a SQL Server's table. These data are requested via basic authentication (not a IIS level but I think it is used to create the authentication window in which put username and password). The problem is that it doesn't accept username and password and, after three times, it redirect me to a page telling "You don't have rights to see this page". What could I do? .....
I have no problems authenticating via AD and an ASP page. My question is this - is there any way to 'reverse' the process?
What I mean is the authenticated state remains as long as the browser window is open. Is there any .asp command I can provide that will revert the browser session back to IUSR?
I have an intranet asp application that sends emails that contain a link to an intranet page.I have a case where one user is forced to login to the windows domain when he clicks on the link,even though he is within the firewall & his Outlook security settings specify automatic login with the current name & password.
This doesn't happen with any other users unless they go through the firewall.The site is also recorded in the trusted sites section.
I'm developing an Internet site that is going to be password protected. I have one windows 2000 domain on the Internet side of things, and another on an Intranet side. Is there any way to authenticate a user that hits my Internet pages against the Intranet user database?
I just want users from the Intranet to automatically be able to access the Internet pages without having to create a separate user on the Internet-side domain.
I have written a simple login script that checks a username/password from an Access database. the login.asp page sets a session("loggedin") at zero. The username and password are checked successfully and the user is redirected to admin.asp. The admin.asp page has an if-statement at the top that checks the session variable to 1, which is set after successful dB check.
The problem is that if you go directly to admin.asp without going through the login process, that is, without ever going to the login page.... simple typing something like http://localhost/admin.asp . you are given access to the page and not redirected back to the login page. What could I have missed? It simply checks the session variable....that should never be set to one when all sessions are reset...and the user can still gain access?
I am attempting to access WMI data on a remote machine. I have been able to get this to work, but there has got to be a better way, I hope.
set wmiLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set WMIServices = GetObject("winmgmts://" & cn & "") Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") WMIServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
Then in my IIS snapin, Directory Security, and then Edit. I have this set Anon Access with my username and password as well as Windows Integrated Authentication checked. It does the job, I can pull the data, but it poses a security risk. I don't want to have my password and username as the authentication options.
I'm using legacy ASP pages on IIS 6.0 to validate users through ADO Active Directory objects (AdsObject & AdsCommand).
When I use the page from the server itself with "localhost"/page as servername, it executes fine. But if I call the site with "servername"/page, the exection fails. AdsObject throws "Table does not exists" errors.
Currently, the server is configured with Integrated Windows authentication. I tried changing to Anonymous authentication with IUSR_machninename user. Again it fails.
I would like to be able to automatically authenticate a registration. Meaning:
A registration occurs email is sent to registering party Party clicks a link to authenticates.
or something to that effect.
Does anyone know where I can find something like this?
I would use a forum (i.e. webwiz, phpbb.....) the only problem is they are asking way too many questions for what I need.
I have built a database to hold the party's information, I have built an asp page with form that inputs the info I need into the DB, which all works, but now I would like to be sure that the person registering is a real person and it is a valid email address.
I have seen on many websites the use of some sort of program to generate a random character string distorted and warped with lines making the resulting graphic ideally only human readable.
The theory is to prevent automated login programs.
I don't know what they call this type of component so I really don't know how to google it. Do you know any source for this type of thing?
i have setup authentication on my website by setting session variables and it works but every once in a while the variables are lost and my users are logged out of the site
can someone tell me why this happens and how to fix it?
Can someone tell me how I create a login page which authenticates users against the servers user manager. I want the login to be a form in my website not a pop up window!
I would be grateful for any advice relating to this subject. I have a script for windows 2000 active directory but was wondering if you could achive the same with windows NT 4 and IIS 4 Code:
I have a site that currently is password protected, using a combination of ldap authentication and asp session management. So for every asp page, I check the session to make sure they're authenticated, if not I send them to the login page. BUT.... there is a robohelp componenet that is almost a website within this website. All these robohelp files are htm or html based, so I'm unable to put asp scripting (to check for session authentication). So, my problem is, how do i protect these pages using my existing framework?
If I have a website running ASP 3.0 on IIS 6 (server 2003), and am using Integrated Windows Authentication, is there a way I can place in a session variable something to identify the person who authenticated to the web site so I can say right on the ASP page "Welcome UsernameHere" ??
I have enabled authentication for the site in iis and set the default domain to the domain we are on. This is working fine and when i list all the server variables it shows the auth_user as domainusername so all is good there.
However we have a NAS server that has a hidden share and i need to be able to check whether a folder exists in this directory. If i run the same script from my PC and specify a folder i know exists it tells me the folder exists. Howver through iis with authentication enabled it tells me the directory doesn't exist.
I thought that as i have authenticated with teh server any requests i make on that page would come from the authenticated user. Am i missing something or a setting?
I've been reading a lot recently on how to make up a login page. I got the form down right and i'm not sure how to get it online (mywebsite) and work properly. i know that you have to have a database of some sort too to check the login in values against but yet again i'm stuck on that.
I want to use window authentication in my asp page. This code allow me to do that but i just need a few user in the server can access this page. Isn't I need to configure at IIS?. Code:
