Secure the asp source code

[beer]

Hello,

I have a critical issue would like to ask. Is there anyway that we can "hide" the asp source code which is on the server? Ok, the situation is like this:

We are giving out a configured server and a software that is written by ASP. In addition, we are providing a reboot CD, and a CD that has our software on it. Is there anyway that prevent anyone to view the asp files? Remember that we are planning to give out the server and the software CD, and we don't want anyone be able to view the file on the CD as well as the files on the server.

I would appreciate if anyone can give us any suggestions. It would be great if you KNOW how to DO it. We HAVE to come up with a solution by next Tuesday (Aug. 31, 2001). We were given this issue on Friday, so I am like crazy to do research, and scream for help. Thank you very much

Thank you a million times.

The only way is to take all the logic used in your ASP code and put it into COM objects. The ASP pages will then act as the presentation while the COM objects will do all the work. This is how the big boys do it.

Will it happen by next Tuesday? Doubtful unless your application is either really small or your development team is really HUGE. Wushutwist

Thank you for your suggestion. In fact, what we are doing for our own company is using COM objects. However, the software that we wrote is for a pretty small firm that doesn't want to any extra money on either COM or SQL server. That's why we are doing this sql statments instead. We have thought of it to use all COM; however, based on their budget, we were not able to do that.

Other than the COM, is there any way to do it? Thank you very much.
