Response.redirect method not working

[axslearnr]

hi
My page is not redirecting to Admin_Menu.asp using Response.Redirect method. it enters the security level = 1 but displays back the login page not the Admin_page. But the same thing is working on another computer. this same script works on another computer. my ASP and access mdb database r on the IIS server.

can anyone tell me why its happening

thank you


'Open correct menu page based on user security level
Select Case session("SecurityLvl")
Case 4: If session("SecurityLvl") = 4 Then Response.Redirect "Employee_Menu.asp"
Case 3: If session ("SecurityLvl") = 3 Then Response.Redirect "Mgmt_Menu.asp"
Case 2: If session ("SecurityLvl") = 2 Then Response.Redirect "DataEntry_Menu.asp"
Case 1: If session ("SecurityLvl") = 1 Then Response.Redirect "Admin_Menu.asp"
Case Else: Response.Redirect "Metrics_Logon.asp"
End Select


%>

Try doing a cInt on in your Select Case or specify the cases to be strings rather than numbers ("1","2",etc). It could just be a type matchig issue.

Maybe you should try this way

Select Case session("SecurityLvl")
    Case 4
        Response.Redirect "Employee_Menu.asp"
    Case 3
        Response.Redirect "Mgmt_Menu.asp"
    Case 2
        Response.Redirect "DataEntry_Menu.asp"
    Case 1
        Response.Redirect "Admin_Menu.asp"
    Case Else
        Response.Redirect "Metrics_Logon.asp"
End Select

I'm not shure it couldnt like the : thing.

The fact that server.transfer works makes me think you may have some dependance on form values being passed along. Server.Transfer makes those values available to the new page, but response.redirect makes the client browser change pages, so any submitted form values are lost.
If I had to guess I would guess that your passing authentication information along in form or querystring values. Then at the top of your admin page your checking those values to make sure they're logged in and if they aren't logged in rediecting to the login page. When you use response.Redirect you lose that authentication info so it directs to the login page thinking they aren't logged in. When you use Server.Transfer you don't lose the authentication information so it continues to display the admin page.

The quickest way to test this would be to put a Response.Write "something" at the top of your admin page before anything else, then follow that with a Response.End.
If you see that content the next time you test it with response.redirect than my conclusions are correct and you are dependant on some form value that is getting left behind.

hi
i tried that i still got the same User_logon page. i have only three fields on logon page username password and security level.
thank u for your help i really appreciate that.

can u pls tell what could be the problem

Hrmm, it seems that what you would select it would go there.
Try to do a Response.Write session("SecurityLvl") and see what's it's value... Maybe your session is lost somewere.

hi
i tried that tto in Admin_menu asp page but its still the same USer_Logon page. i even tried putting in the Security_Page it shows me the security value of 1 until select case : securitylvl=1 statement. it even entered the if clause of that statement but it doesnt redirect the page

pls let me know
thank you

 

[shaddow]

Maybe you should use Response.End also.

Select Case int(session("SecurityLvl"))
    Case 4
        Response.Redirect "Employee_Menu.asp"
        Response.End
    Case 3
        Response.Redirect "Mgmt_Menu.asp"
        Response.End
    Case 2
        Response.Redirect "DataEntry_Menu.asp"
        Response.End
    Case 1
        Response.Redirect "Admin_Menu.asp"
        Response.End
    Case Else
        Response.Redirect "Metrics_Logon.asp"
        Response.End
End Select

Try exactly this code.

I don't know how your entire ASP page is set up, however with Response.Redirect, you cannot have ANY HTML before calling this method..

Do you get an error message at all?

Check to make sure that the browser your using is allowing cookies. If it is blocking the initial session cookie that IIS is serviing out then all of the session information your setting won't be associated with your browser, so during the redirect you will be coming to the site fersh and will have lost your authentication info.
