Cookieless forms and Privacy

Hi

I have built a site with some secure pages, in a subdirectory with anonymous
access off, and cookeless forms security.

I thought that this would be accessible to all without the need for Low
Privacy setting. In fact the users still need low privacy.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
From your description ,you're using Form based authentication in your asp.
net web app and have use cookieless based implementation?

As far as I know, the ASP.NET's buildin formsauthentica iton dosn't support
cookieless,(onl y cookieless session state is supported). So is your
cookieless auhtentication based on your custom implementation? Also, as
you mentioned that you've turn anonymous access off in your sub directory,
do you means the IIS's anomymous access or the access in your custom
authentication schema? Anyway, I don't think cookieless setting on server
will have particular requirement on the clientside's privacy setting. Is
there any other particular things in your authentication mechanism?

Thanks,

Hello, we are having problems displaying non-aspx files (images, style sheets) since we have upgraded to the 1.1 framework when using a cookieless session (sessionID in the url). Check out our file system set up below. Now, in an aspx page, we set as the "src" of our images something like "../images/animage.jpg". If the current actual url in the browser is something like http://server/webapp/(someSessionID)/forms/form1.aspx

I experimented/researched cookieless sessions and tried it on my website. I expected the switch to cookieless sessions to be transparent but this isn' t the case at all: 1) Forms based authentication doesn't work I read that the Whidbey release will support this and you can make it work today: http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/cookieless.asp Still, it's a showstopper for most websites

I have a question about cookies & browser permissions and turning off cookies when creating a web site (cookieless mode in web.config). I have a web site that of course uses Session variables. But we decided to turn off the cookieless mode because the client specifically said her browser did not allow cookies. Anyway, when searching about it, I found out that by setting cookieless = true the session cookie is embedded into the URL sent...

I'm building an ASPNET2 website which uses forms authentication but does not use the Microsoft-supplied membership providers (mostly because I don't want to create my own provider at this point, and the supplied stuff comes with a lot of baggage I don't want/need).

I have a website (ASPNET2) which uses cookieless authentication. <img> tags on restricted-access aspx pages appear to need the URL credential fragment (i.e., the long string that encodes the user's credentials) to be found...which is contrary to my understanding (under 1.1, at least) as to how resources are controlled. Example: This tag on a restricted-access aspx page: <img src="/data/somefile.gif"> Shows up as "not found" (i.e.,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
