First you need to make sure the password is not encrypted in the database> from the Vendor. To authenticate the password, you cannot use a Select> Query like "select * from table where name='..' and password='...'"> directly. You can get the password by user name first, like "select> password from table where name='..'". And then convert the binary data

can somebody give a simple control/example using windows API with asp

or asp.net?? or somebody can tell me anything regarding with the

relationship between windows api to asp?

hello there... i'm just thinking about the windows api with asp.. is it

posible to attach or put the windows api code inside the asp? because i

want to retrieve a client computer name. so i decided to use the

windows api, is it possible? can somebody give me sample?

another question, how can i retrieve a client computer name using

serverVariable? coz i'm using that string in registration form.. i want

automatically call or get the computer name...

thanks in advance...

You can't call an API directly from an ASP page. You could create a wrapper

DLL to call this API.

But keep also in mind that the ASP code runs server side.

Here it looks like you want to get the client computer name. The best you

can easily do would be to use the REMOTE_HOST server variables to get its

name or IP (likely IP).

Try :

Else you could perhaps use a scripting object suhc as :

http://www.winguide­s.com/scripting/refe­rence.php?id=127 but i('s likely

you'll have to alter the security settings as this is likely not supposed to

be available to all websites you are visiting.

If this is because you want the application to be available from partiuclar

computers this is AFAIK quite difficult. The best you could easily do would

be to make sure that only a single account can use the application from a

single computer at a time (i.e. not possible to open multiple sessions under

the same account). Also what if the user changes its computer...

IMO this approach won't work anyway. Keep in mind that as I said the ASP

page runs SERVER SIDE i.e. you'll get the name of the server if this code

runs from the ASP page. This code should run CLIENT SIDE but the user will

have to accept your ActiveX control etc...

I saw in another thread that the goal is that you want to create

automatically a user name upon registration. If this is in your company you

could just use integrated authentication so that the web site automatically

knows who is the user (uisng Request.ServerVaria­bles("AUTH_USER")).

If not it won't work anyway as you could have multiple users having the same

computer name for example (beside the difficulty that likely not worth). See

around and you'll see that you have no web site using this info to create a

user name.

Generaly it is done by using some information entered by the user (email,

some calculation based upon the user lastname and firstname etc...). In some

cases it is just a "random" username (for example some random letters

followed by some random numbers).
