Hi all,

I would need some help. I need to login to a member section of a website and get authenticate at the index.asp before i can reach tools.asp, another page i will use.

I see that the member section do not use cookie. It used session.

I had tried reaching tools.asp directly (with all the variable pass in together in a url ...example: [example.com...] However, it will redirect me back to index.asp , asking me to authenticate first.

Is there a way to skip index.asp and go directly to tools.asp?

Regards,
Joseph

Hi and welcome.

The only way that your method would work is if the designer of the tools page was looking for the username and password with those ecact variables you specificed in the Query String.

My guess is that the processing occurs on the index page and nothing will let you bypass it without proper authentication.

I have an authenticate model where I

1-store the url entered in a sesion var(sURL)
2-redirect to the login page
3-on authenticate redirect to sURL

Makes it better for the user if they want to bookmark member pages
