Basically if you are going to use a cookie to store the sessionvariable in, as in your work around you posted, you might as wellremove the security images altogether as they will no longer offer anyprotection.]]> Sat, 19 Mar 2005 14:24:39 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/error-registring-new-users_topic14315_post79274.html#79274 <![CDATA[error registring new users : Please read my last post, I...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/error-registring-new-users_topic14315_post79272.html#79272 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Please read my last post, I have covered your question already.

As I mentioned in my last post, by adding those lines that you postedit will get around the problem, but it uses a cookie to store thesession variable which completely defeats the object of using sessionvariables and makes the security images completely useless as they willno-longer give any protection against bot and remote form submission.

Also you will find other features will not work the way they should without being able to use sessions.

It sounds like your web farm admin haven't setup the servers to pass sessions between servers.

The security images require sessions variables, and so do a number ofother items in the forum. If sessions can not be passed between theservers you will get the problems you mention.

The work around that you have posted is to place the session variable for the security images into a cookie.

This could work, but as the session variable is placed into a cookie itmakes the security images a complete waste of time as they wouldno-longer protect against bots and remote form submission, which iswhat they are for.

If your web farm admin can not set up the servers to pass aroundsession variables then you need to remove the security images from theregistration page. You will also find some other features will not workhow they should.

Hello,

our server is using webgarden and if we disable the webgarden its working but if we enable its not working.

Error is that users cant register accounts and security images dont show up....

our server ppl added somelines of code into the files and it was fixed on some forums

http://adsltech.com/portal/forum/registration_rules.asp

http://debug.adsltech.com/portal/forum/registration_rules.asp

on first one users can not register but on the secod users can register.

here is the code that the server ppl added in the 2nd link and the same code is not working on http://www.mycplus.com/forum/registration_rules.asp both sites are running under same server.

here is the code they added

register.asp
Line 1097
Response.Cookies("lngSecurityCode") = Session("lngSecurityCode")

security_image.asp
Line 70
intImageNumber = Mid(Request.Cookies("lngSecurityCode"), intImageNumber, 1)

Plz anyone help me resolving this issue
