Before I write I want to say that I have taken full advantage of the search features of this board. I've read a TON tonight and I'm still having some problems.


I have the need for 2 logins that access the SQL 2000 database I have the web-application hosted in.

1st Login: Sets site variables for my website

2nd Login: Sets cookie information for Snitz


1st Login works well. When there is a successful login I redirect the browser to a page called transferlogin.asp that has the following code: (minus * of course)

<!--#include file="forum/inc_func_common.asp"-->
<%
Call doCookies(strEncodedPassword)
%>

This calls the doCookies function and passes it the password from the user that is logging in. I have checked with a response.write to ensure that something is actually being written to the strEncodedPassword.

I have also disabled the encryption (sha256) functionality in the inc_sha256.asp file. This, I'm told, will disable the encryption and it looks like it has because when I create new users via the forum registration their passwords are not encrypted.

Here's the strange part...

I set the strEncodedPassword and strDBNTFUserName at the same time and know they have something written to them. However, I'm not entirely sure what happens in the doCookies subroutine.

My interpretation of the code is that:

1) It sets the cookie
2) It checks to see if the strEncodedPassword and strDBNTFUserName match
3) If they do it writes the cookie and sets the expiration date set in the config.asp file.

I added 2 lines of code.

After the lines:
if fSavePassWord = "true" then
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Expires = dateAdd("d", intCookieDuration, strForumTimeAdjust)

I added:
response.redirect("main.asp")

THEN

After the lines:
Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") = ReadLastHereDate(strDBNTFUserName)

I added:
response.redirect("default.asp")

So....

If the sub routine runs correctly I will either go to main.asp if the cookie is set, or to default.asp if it is not set correctly.

Unfortunately, I continually get redirected back to default.asp and I'm totally confused as to why!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I cannot use Universal Login mod simply because I cannot change the way the user logs in. Otherwise I'd use that mod because it's basically what I'm looking for for the 2nd login.

Anyone got any help?

LOGIN CODE:
(I just modified the typical Dreamweaver login code to set some other variables for me that I need throughout the site.)

<%
' *** Validate request to log in to this site.
MM_LoginAction = Request.ServerVariables("URL")
If Request.QueryString<>"" Then MM_LoginAction = MM_LoginAction + "?" + Server.HTMLEncode(Request.QueryString)
MM_valUsername=CStr(Request.Form("username"))
If MM_valUsername <> "" Then
MM_fldUserAuthorization=""
MM_redirectLoginSuccess="transferlogin.asp"
MM_redirectLoginFailed="login.asp?fail=1"
MM_flag="ADODB.Recordset"
set MM_rsUser = Server.CreateObject(MM_flag)
MM_rsUser.ActiveConnection = MM_conWARnet_STRING
MM_rsUser.Source = "SELECT M_NAME, M_PASSWORD, MEMBER_ID, M_LEVEL"
If MM_fldUserAuthorization <> "" Then MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & "," & MM_fldUserAuthorization
MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & " FROM cultur3k.FORUM_MEMBERS WHERE M_NAME='" & Replace(MM_valUsername,"'","''") &"' AND M_PASSWORD='" & Replace(Request.Form("password"),"'","''") & "'"
MM_rsUser.CursorType = 0
MM_rsUser.CursorLocation = 2
MM_rsUser.LockType = 3
MM_rsUser.Open
If Not MM_rsUser.EOF Or Not MM_rsUser.BOF Then
' username and password match - this is a valid user
Session("MM_Username") = MM_valUsername
Session("UserID") = MM_rsUser.Fields.Item("MEMBER_ID").Value
Session("UserLevel") = MM_rsUser.Fields.Item("M_LEVEL").Value
Session("UserPW") = MM_rsUser.Fields.Item("M_PASSWORD").Value
If (MM_fldUserAuthorization <> "") Then
Session("MM_UserAuthorization") = CStr(MM_rsUser.Fields.Item(MM_fldUserAuthorization).Value)
Else
Session("MM_UserAuthorization") = ""
End If
if CStr(Request.QueryString("accessdenied")) <> "" And false Then
MM_redirectLoginSuccess = Request.QueryString("accessdenied")
End If
MM_rsUser.Close
Response.Redirect(MM_redirectLoginSuccess)
End If
MM_rsUser.Close
Response.Redirect(MM_redirectLoginFailed)
End If
%>

so...what happens is that it gets passed to transferlogin.asp
which has this code:

<!--#include file="forum/inc_func_common.asp"-->
<%
strDBNTFUserName = Session("MM_UserName")
strEncodedPassword = Session("UserPW")
Call doCookies(Request.Form("password"))
%>


Which then runs the modified doCookies code which looks like this:
sub doCookies(fSavePassWord)
if strSetCookieToForum = 1 then
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = strCookieURL
else
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = "/"
end if
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name") = strDBNTFUserName
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword") = strEncodedPassword
'Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Cookies") = Request.Form("Cookies")
if fSavePassWord = "true" then
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Expires = dateAdd("d", intCookieDuration, strForumTimeAdjust)
response.redirect("main.asp")
end if
Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") = ReadLastHereDate(strDBNTFUserName)
response.redirect("default.asp")
end sub


Every time I end up going back to default.asp. If I remove that final line it just sits at transferlogin.asp so I know that when it fails and not when it succeeds it goes to default.asp.

Any suggestions?

Ahhhhh.....

Actually I didn't have my transferlogin as above (hadn't uploaded that)....now when I do get it like that I get the following error:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'

Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.

/warnet/forum/inc_func_common.asp, line 554


line 554 is in this function:

function ReadLastHereDate(UserName)
dim rs_date
dim strSql
if trim(UserName) = "" then
ReadLastHereDate = DateToStr(DateAdd("d", -10, strForumTimeAdjust))
exit function
end if
'## Forum_SQL
strSql = "SELECT M_LASTHEREDATE "
strSql = strSql & " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS "
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strDBNTSQLName & " = '" & ChkString(UserName, "SQLString") & "' "
Set rs_date = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs_date.open strSql, my_Conn
if (rs_date.BOF and rs_date.EOF) then
ReadLastHereDate = DateToStr(DateAdd("d",-10,strForumTimeAdjust))
else
if rs_date("M_LASTHEREDATE") = "" or IsNull(rs_date("M_LASTHEREDATE")) then
ReadLastHereDate = DateToStr(DateAdd("d",-10,strForumTimeAdjust))
else
ReadLastHereDate = rs_date("M_LASTHEREDATE")
end if
end if
rs_date.close
set rs_date = nothing
UpdateLastHereDate DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust),UserName
end function

line 554 specifically is:
rs_date.open strSql, my_Conn

Well, one of the problems is that code from config.asp and inc_header.asp is missing, where the variables and constants are defined as well as the database connection is created.

Okay...

I edited the transferlogin.asp page to look like this and uploaded it:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<!--#include file="forum/config.asp"-->
<!--#include file="forum/inc_header.asp"-->



<%
strDBNTFUserName = Session("MM_UserName")
strEncodedPassword = Session("UserPW")
Call doCookies(Request.Form("password"))
%>

Now I get the error:
There has been a problem...

Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp
to reflect your database type.

However, when I check my config.asp file strDBType is set! So I'm unsure why it's saying this.

seriously! nobody knows anything about the doCookies sub routine? This is really bizarre because I cannot figure out why my code isn;t working!
