Setup Last Page To Clear Sessions Using Session.Abandon();
Mar 22, 2010
I have just added the following to the very last page of my application.
[Code]....
And then i have this on each of the pages before the last, within my Page_load:
[Code]....
I have different sessions thruout the application process, but this one session is only set at the beginning of the process and once i kill it on the last page, any attempt to hit Back or trying to access any page directly without first starting, i need to force them to the beginning, what am i missing or doing wrong?
sessID is set on page 1 and is available until you get to the last page. Where i added the Session.Abandon(); Now if i get to the last page and hit back before the refresh occurs, im able to go back, but the page comes up with null reference for other sessions that are obvisously cleared / killed with the abandon. So i should have to check for each session should i? I mean if the abandon killed them all, then checking for the main session should be enough right?
I'm writing some logging code that is based on SessionID. However, when I log out (calling Session.Abandon), and log in once again, SessionID is still the same. Basically every browser on my PC has it's own session id "attached", and it won't change for some reason. My Session config looks like this:
To avoid session fixation/hijacking we are heeding the common advice to create a new ASP.Net session for a user after authentication. Sounds simple enough. When a user authenticates we call Session.Abandon() the session ID cookie Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie("ASP.NET_SessionId", "") then redirect the user.
However, how do we know on the new page that the user has logged in? We cannot check a session variable because there are none, we just started a brand new session.
I would swear, though I cannot find it now, that on this site someone explained how you can abandon a session and then get the next subsequent session ID. This way you could store that information. Then on the "Start Page" a new session would begin and that page could look up the old Session based on the new ID and validate that a user logged in.
So, are there any masters of the ASP.Net Session classes that know how to do this?
I would like to clear sessions after hitting back button . Iuse the java script to disable back button how can i clear sessions now after hitting back button.
I use the following script
<script type="text/javascript"> function preventBack(){window.history.forward();} setTimeout("preventBack()", 0); window.onunload=function(){null}; </script>
on click of logout button, i want to call a web service method that will get that particular user's session and call its abandon method. But how can i pass that session variable to that web method ?
Calling of web method is done through java script.
In my ASP.NET application I need to allow only one session for a user ? When a user does login more than once, I want to get to user's previous session and abandon it. I'm keeping track of all user sessions by means of session id. But Session.Abandon is available only for the current session associated with a request and not previous sessions. I have the session id of the user's previous session but how can I end it ?
In ASP.NET should we call Session.Abandon() when an unhandled exception occurs?There are many end users that hit "refresh" or "back" in the web browser in order to resubmit the request.I would like to prevent this behavior by resetting the context.TIA.
i allow my admin to login from his login page and login information verified and stored into an session after that, he visited into an client page, there is an logout button this will visible whether session has the user id or admin user id else it'll be invisible.
now the scenario is: 1. admin logged into admin page 2. then in the address bar type the client page name 3. now the client page is check whether has the userid or admin user id in Session, now the session has admin user id so, its show the Logout button. 4. from this client page, the admin clicks on Logout button, here i have Abandon the session and moved into the admin login page.5. now again admin types the same client page name in the address bar from his login page(but now he didnt logged in).6. this time i set the break point on client page_load event but its not hitting the event also its visible the Logout button also.so, how its not hitting the page_load event and why the logout button is visible after loggedout.
I have a report parameter page which contains many pop up windows for the parameter selection. For example, for driver , there is a pop up window called driver.aspx which contains a listbox that contains list of driver's name.
Now, for each of these pop up windows, i am passing the values of these windows as a session value.
Now, when a user logs in the system, there are many parameter pages for different reports which commonly share the same pop up windows if the parameters are same for different reports.
The problem now is,a user selects 10 drivers for report 1 and runs it. When he goes to report 2 and runs the report, the report 2 takes only those 10 drivers as the driver parameter value.
It means, the error can arise on the system because he may forgot that he have selected 10 drivers for previous report 1. User will not have time to recheck each previous selected values of different paramaters.
What i want is, when a person moves from one report page to another, i want to clear all the session values and adjust it as default for the new report .
I have problem is that when i force to clear session so it remove all session on to server. i mean i open website at 2 systems and one system logout website so 2nd automatically logout.i dont know when is the problem. i m using Session.Abundent for current session.but it clear all.
Is there a difference between Session.Clear() and Session.RemoveAll()? The descriptions and documentation pages seem to say exactly the same thing, but I am assuming there must be some reason for creating two functions, right?
I have inherited an ASP.NET 3.5 application that relies heavily on sessions and storing DataTables within them (I know - bad, bad, bad). The application pool on the remote shared hosting service indicated that memory is at full capacity and as a result customers are losing their shopping carts because of dropped sessions.
Ultimately the goal is to rewrite this code, but for the time being I would like to stabilize the site the best I can. The host has recommended I use SQL Server Session State instead of in-proc. I have no experience with this, so I'm hoping it's as simple as running the .sql against the database to configure SQL Server and updating the web.config.
im trying to set up a session for UserID which is contained in the User table along with username and password. Im unsure how to get the UserID based on the username and password in my sqlsyntax then pass it to my session? My last peace of code is just a test in a label to see if it will pass the number to the label.
I have health monitoring enabled on a production system (asp.net webforms .net 4) and I see that there's a lot of errors being sent to me indicating that a session variable has been lost.(I am trying to attach something out of session state to a entity framework data context and get a "Value cannot be null, parameter n ame entity" error). So somehow the session variable now contains null and not an object. Interestingly we have the same application deployed on two separate servers - one DMZ server for external users and one internal server for internal users. Both of these applications on two different servers seem to have the same problem.
Health Monitoring is also monitoring lifetime events and I can see from this that we do not have something like IIS recycling, config changes, changes to bin folder, recompilations etc, occuring. I've read this page: [URL] I can confirm that it's not a Response.Redirect problem because that's not happening - this is an online application form - it puts an object in session state on page_load and there's a multiview - when "next" is pressed, the object comes out of session state, is attached to the data context, changes are made from the web form and the datacontext updated. So there's no response.redirect happening.
I can also confirm the details in "Update 1" and "Update 2" from that link are not relevant to me - there is only 1 worker process running in the application pool and the server name or web address do not contain underscores. I also persued the possibility of session timeouts occuring but they should be handled by other code which is running to detect session timeouts (see: [URL]) which I have tested over and over - Part of the problem is I just cannot reproduce this error myself.......................
In my project I have configured .NET's sessions to go into database.
I also have a global.asax which implements Session_Start().
In Session_Start() I write three things to the session:
The time the session started.
The user's host address.
A serializable device object wrapping the user's agent.
The problem is now that users which don't allow cookies won't allow session cookies either.
(Easily reproducable by putting the site URL to the restricted sites of IE).
If I keep on refreshing (put finger on F5) a new session is created for every request (-> no session cookie). Shortly, the web server process grows to some hundred megabytes.
It does not matter if you use IIS7 or Cassini Local Webserver.
The issue is now: the memory does not get released until the sessions time out. What is the logic here if sessions should really go to database? How long will .NET keep them in memory? Eventually, you'll even get Out Of Memory exceptions!
Anybody know? How to detect and prevent such (almost malicious) "attacks"?
I have an MVC web app and want to setup the security in a fashion that is NOT persisted. The problem is that if a user logs in and closes the browser (all instances) and open a new browser, goes to the site heshe is logged in automatically. I want the "session" to expire if you close the browser but I cannot seem to get the answer.
I have authentication mode="Forms" in the web.config and all my usernamepasswords are kept in a custom SQL DB. I can see that on login, Asp.net drop a cookie called ".ASPXAUTH" that expires in 30 minutes. I changed it to expire "At end of session" but if I close the tab I can see that that cookie is still active.
What do I need to do to get the browser to force a login if the user closes the tab or browser?
