NTFS and Web Application problem

Hello all,

I am writing an aspx (Visual Basic) logon app for a friend (he needs
to be able to reset expired passwords, so the regular windows logon
won't work). Everything is in the same domain and secure, so that
isn't really going to be a problem.

I created a logon page, that checks user name and password against
active directory:

dso = GetObject("LDAP :")
oUser = dso.OpenDSObjec t("LDAP://" & LDAPServerPath,
txtUserName.Tex t, txtPassword.Tex t, 1)

After the username and password sare verified, I retrieve the groups
the user belongs to, and read an ini file to determine what page the
user should be redirected to based on their group.

No problem up until now, the thing is, the permissions to the pages he
wants to redirect to are set by NTFS. I can't figure out how to use
the logon information supplied by the user to access these pages
without the windows "connect to <server>" screen popping up.

If the user signs on using the pop up, then they can access the page
as long as they don't close the browser. If they do, then they have
to do it all again.

Is there a way to authenticate/authorize the session? He is using
"Basic Authentication" on a 2003 machine (IIS6)

I tried posting this on
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.aspnet.secu rity
but got no replies.

Thanks for any help, this is all I have left before the project is
finished :)

Hello group! I'm having a problem and I hope some of you may be able to point me in the right direction. I inherited a web site using php, running on Windows 2000 & IIS. The site was developed by a consulting firm about a year before I came on board, the consultant has since gone out of business. Overall, I've never had a problem with the site and have been able to figure out nearly everything they configured on it.

Hello, In my application that I'm writing in C++ (and maybe Java), specifically the cygwin flavor of C++, I want to be able to open any existing files in FAT32 or NTFS file systems (in Windows XP) for read-only purposes.

Project: ---------------------------- I am creating a HTTPS File Transfer App using ASP.NET and C#. I am utilizing ActiveDirectory and windows security to manage the permissions.

Hi there, well i am stuck on a problem with regards to obtaining security permissions on folders. At the moment I have created a simple treeview example which shows all sub-directories in a tree form for a particular directory. Then I wanted to see how the application would handle a sub-directory(test1) if the current user logged on win2k box didnt have the permissions to access test1. The application throws an exception

The formatting system of my HD is NTFS. When I right click on a file in Windows Explorer, I get a Properties Window with only two tabs: "General" and "Summary". I don't get a Security Tab, allowing me to set access permission. Given that the formatting system is NTFS, why am I not seeing the required tab, and why am I not seeing the appropriate Properties form? Please assist.

I am wondering would this work on FAT16 and FAT32? if File.Exists("filePath\TestingTester.exe") I know that FAT16 uses 8 char file names and that a file longer then this would be automatically renamed to let's say: file name TestingTester.exe would be called Testin~1.exe Thank you,

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,...
