Hi Forum Members,
We're writing a portal page that will have a logon section (AD authentication) and links to various other projects, i.e., separate applications. We'd like to have it function such that users who try to navigate to a project page directly are redirected to the portal page and instructed to log in. Is there an http_referer equivalent in IIS as there is in Apache, and how easily can this be forged? I know from experiences in other languages that the http_referer value is not to be trusted.
A related question is how we might share variables between the portal application and the other project applications. I'm sure we can use a database solution by creating a session record when a user logs in to the portal page, then checking for the user and the timestamp, etc... in the other applications. But as I'm new to ASP, I'm unsure if there is another way to go about this.
Thanks in advance&n ...
