ASP Admin system pointers

Hi All

I've been creating a number of admin systems now for my classic ASP sites
and although they seem to keep the wolves from the door, I just wanted to
ask if you have any additional security pointers that I should watch out
for.

For your ref, the ones that I have already been told are:

a) Always have a login/password section in place and use session vars to
allow access into the protected pages. If the browser won't work with
session vars then they can't get in and the end user will have to sort it
out to get session vars to work. NOTE: my ISP charges for HTAccess
functionality so I don't use this.

b) Put login and protected pages in an obscurely named sub-directory.

c) When on the live site, make sure the pages are set to On Error Resume
Next so that no unwanted database error messages are shown to the user.

Any more?

Should I expire the pages so that web logs can't log the referrer (ie the
end user goes from the admin system to somebody's else site) and don't
appear in a web site's history? Is this actually possible?

Many thanks for any pointers you can give.

Regards

Robbie

The thought came to me that it would be great if LAMP developers, whether they used MySQL or PostgreSQL, could just simply write the project to...

Hi, I'm in the middle of building a Content Management System to be used by out school. It has gotten to the stage where I'm going to have to start building admin pages so that others can be admins, So I'm going to have to rewrite several pages to cater for this. What I'm wondering is, what is the best way to store admin variables? Should I put them in a table in MySQL or in a flat file? Do you think that it would slow my server down...

Hi group, I am getting the "could not load type" error and I'm not sure how to debug. Obviously it's a namespace error but I don't see it. Below are code snippets. Yes, the files sit in a subdirectory called "admin". The webpages in the root directory, "psyche" do not have any errors. So it's something with the name admin? But what? Yes, all of the webpages in the admin directory have the same error with their respective webpages in the...

For real, could php-cli be useful for system admin tasks? I doubt php-cli will ever match perl, or python, for a sys admin scripting language. But, does php-cli come close enough to the sys admin power of those languages that php might actually be useful for admins? As far as I know, nobody seriously uses php for a shell scripting language. Is that just because perl is so well established? Or because php doesn't have the power?
