If both applications are authenticated against ldap, then why can't you just pick up their userID from there? If they are different ldap's that should not be too much of a problem, you can script a custom field in your first ldap where you store the the userID of the other one. (or even - if you must - have a database table where you store both and just run a quick query)
Just an idea.

the problem here is the desktop or the user m/c s are shared by different users, so there is no standard set of users who will be using this web-app. it is very dynamic.
and C# application is just a windows based application, it doesn't have any database. So it has to pick up the current user who is loigged in to the web-app dynamically wt the point when it is invoked.
|
|
|
|

If I am reading you right,
The user logged onto the desktop is not necessarily the user who is logged onto the web app?
That sounds like a security nightmare to me!
As a first thought I would go back to a server based approach and when they authenticate to the web site, log their ldap user name and the computer name of their machine. Then when the C# app opens, find the computer name and get their ldap userID from there.
This is just first impressions, not sure what the loopholes in that may be.
Signing off now. - I Hope you get this sorted.

Yeah the title you gave is very apt... it is a security nightmare in deed !!!!!!!
the web-app we are talking about is a huge Enterprise Management tool which makes it hard to change the architecture of this product.

I teach elementary and I'm looking for a simple
tool or software to develop meaningful stories for my students.
The idea is to input data in the first page (Title) as
the student name, favorite color, food, game etc.
Then in the following pages the text in the first page will
appear in a simple sentence according to the story
events. Also pictures and graphs should be enhancing the
mini book.
Help!

function validate1()
{
if(document.getElementById("<%=txtOldPassword.ClientID %>").value=="")
{
window.alert("Please Enter Old Password");
document.getElementById("<%=txtOldPassword.ClientID %>").focus();
return false;
}
}
But a problem raise when i use this piece of code in <b>.js</b> file
and give the path as given below......
<b>
<script language="javascript" src="../Script/Validations_Login.js">
</script>
</b>
|
|
|
|
|
But what is the problem ????
|
|
|
|
|
First of all, actually i've to ask this question in ASP.NET block
I dont know the problem but there is a Error on Page that is object required
|
|
|
|
|
Put the javascript code in the MasterPage itself and not in the content page.
Thanks
Laddie
Kindly rate if the answer was helpful
|
|
|
|
|
which code ?????????
if u r talking about my javascript validation(s) code then i've already explained it tht it's working fine if i put the code in the content page. But if i put this code in the .js(javascript file) and provide the src from the content page then it doesnt work properly......
Plz explain
Thnx

You're asking an ASP question in the WebDev forum. There's an ASP.NET forum. Please ask future such questions there.
And your code is breaking 'cause ASP doesn't process JS files. So the bits between <% and %> don't get turned into element IDs like you need them to be.

Besides, even if the js files were processed, the server code refers to controls that are in the page, not in the js file.

|

Yeah. I got the impression he thought it operated like a server-side include where the contents of the file was inserted prior to processing or something.
But who is the king of all of these folks?

Hello guys.
I have an update problem that with my logoncheck.asp and when I googled the problem I found out it might be permission problems on the database.
Now I have tried to grant permission on the database folder properties to allow read/write, but I still get the same error.
Is there another way I can use to maybe grant this permission.Unless there is something else Im doing wrong.
The error is Error # -2147467259 Operation must use an updateable query.
SQL = UPDATE tbl_employees SET lastlogin = #29-Feb-2008# WHERE employeelogin = 'SIPHOSIBUYANE'
Code is :

Hi I also face the same problem while uploading my first web site, see if your program or webpage executes perfectly in offline mode then there are no problem with the code.
This type of error occor mostly due to read write permission of the database, of it could the cause of cookies and caching and in this case try again after removing the cokkies and offline content from your system.
With Regards

First thank you for the response, but unfortunately this site has to fun from my hosting company, so I cant test it offline.I have removed all the cached files and deleted the history, and still.Nothing happens.
Is it possible that the hosting company could maybe check if their server grants access rights to my database??
kagiso
|
|
|
|
|
This is possible but did you havn't the control panel details for the site you are developing??
And in your post you are tried to say that you have to write code then upload it on the server to check the effect of your code, you can't even use F5 option to debug for site. and if it is so then only the hosting company will help you.

I have just contacted the service provider and they tell me that they will escalate the query.The problem is that, when I put in the wrong username and password, I get the right message (Make sure ur username and password are correct), but when I put in the right username and password, I get the error (Make sure the operation uses an updatable query).So it most definitely has to be permission issues.
But they promised to call me back.
Thanx again.

It's the user account used for running the ASP.NET code that needs permission to the database file, usually the account IIS_WPG.
Check also that the file is not simply write protected.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I checked the database folder and I gave read/write permissions to my account but I still have the problem.Now I dont knw what to do.
Im on asp by the way, not asp.net.
kagiso
|
|
|
|
|
The same thing applies to ASP; it's not your user account that is used to run the ASP code.
Check the settings for the web site in IIS manager to find out what user account is used to run the application.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, IIS is not a problem.The site runs perfectly from IIS, but we just posted the site onto the new ISP FTP folder and its doing this.
kagiso
|
|
|
|
|
Files that you upload to the ISP normally isn't writable by the account running the ASP code. An ISP that supports Access usually has a pre-created folder especially for database files, that has the appropriate security settings.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
So, I have to put the database onto the folder??
I will try that and see if it dont work.
Thanx, will let u knw.

I am doing an application in which i need to validate some fields..I did it using Javascript, but i dont want alert box to pop up each time as it may be harassing the user to enter as he wish....
Instead of alert box can i have some other pleasing error throwing messages pop ups or texts to be in the page....
If possible please let me know.....and how to implement it.....
Thanks in advance....
