Hi all,
i want to create in my asp.net application a custom server variable, so i
can retrieve later in other pages (even asp or perl) with
request.serverv ariables("HTTP_ mycustomvariabl e")
i've tried with response.append header("mycusto mvariable", "somevalue" ) but
this doesn't work, or the variable scope is limited to aspx files, not asp
or perl.
So there is a solution with my problem, event with a external vc++ program?
Thanks,
Michele

news:63******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com... When I tested it, the browser didn't send the header in the request. What
did you use to test this?
That is the situation: i have to authenticate many users (1000+) on my
application, so i can't (and don't want) create system accounts; instead i
store users into database, and perform the authentication using asp.net
webforms;
the asp.net application then sets it custom server variable (how?) to the
username authenticated and the perl application knows that the user is
authenticated by checking that server variable: if that server variable is
null no user is authenticated.
So i can't use querystring, or form, or cookie to pass to the perl
application the username authenticated, for security reason, instead i can
use perl to retrieve the server (or environment) variable.
The system is similar to the standard iis authentication, who sets the
LOGON_USER and REMOTE_USER server variables when a user logon, but i can't
use that variables because i'm not using iis authentication.
Hope to have been clear,
Thanks

news:%2******** ********@TK2MSF TNGP11.phx.gbl. .. If you can't use cookies then you shouldn't be using header variables
either as header variables are easy to find with a simple http sniffer.
I'm thinking that you really should go with the suggestion of using a
database or some other shared server side storage location for holding
this value. Anyone that would go to the trouble of opening your cookie
would probably not have too much problem running something like Fiddler
(or any number of other tools) to see what is inside the headers for the
page. Also from a security standpoint, you probably don't want to pass
anything to the client that you are worried about getting hacked, it is
better to keep it at the server and use an authentication mechanism to get
to it each time it is needed. Or is there some other reason that you
prefer a header value over a cookie?

So you are correct :-)
How are users calling your Perl script, through another browser instance?

Why don't you encrypt the value with a well known algorithm and share the
algorithm across you various applications? Then you can store it in a
cookie.
