ASP 2.0 Cookies and Windows2000 Professional

[jazzsax]

Hi,

I did do a search to see if this had already been addressed, but couldn't find it.

I has set up some very basic cookie security on several asp apps I worked on. Everything was working fine, didn't make any changes to the code. However, recently, our agency changed to Windows2000 Professional and my cookies are not working the same way. Basically, all I wanted to do was for it to look for the cookie, and if it doesn't find what it's looking for, it response.redirects to a page they can enter their password. It used to work fine, now it doesn't matter whether there's a cookie or not, it allows access to the application. Has anyone else had this problem or can you offer any suggestions.

Code snippet:

<%

'verify cookie hasn't expired, if it has send them to login

userID = Request.Cookies(&quot;ConfUserID&quot

sqlStr = &quot;SELECT UID FROM ConfUsers WHERE UID = '&quot; & userID & &quot;'&quot;
SET RSV = connectStr.Execute(sqlStr)
if (RSV.EOF or RSV.BOF) THEN
response.redirect(&quot;passentry.htm&quot
end if

%>

Thanks,

Hey Jason, try this:

userID = Request.Cookies("ConfUserID")
>%
<textarea rows=&quot;10&quot; cols=&quot;80&quot;><%=userID%></textarea>

What do you see?

Pete,

Thanks for your response. Of course, prinit it to the screen. Well strangely tha pp I took the snippet from seems to be working now, but I continue to battle the other app that has the following code:

userID = Request.Cookies(&quot;CMSLoginID&quot

sqlStr = &quot;SELECT permit FROM email WHERE UID = '&quot; & userID & &quot;'&quot;
SET RS = connectStr.Execute(sqlStr)

strVal = RS(&quot;permit&quot
if RS.EOF THEN
response.redirect(&quot;UserError.htm&quot
end if

Both the userID and RS(&quot;permit&quot show no values, yet the page is not being redirected...

This worked fine for months, I never touched it and then it doesn't work...sometimes I think I must be more insane than I originally suspected.

Maybe because your requesting a value (strVal = RS(&quot;permit&quot
) from the recordset its running into an error and then stopping processing the rest of the page Saturday 12.00
