Hi All,
I want to find out how many users (in our Active directory )are accessing my web portal.
so i put Global.asa file to find out the active users. But which is not working .It doesnot give any no. of users.

Following .asa code is not working for my portal
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">

Sub Application_OnStart
    ' Set our user count to 0 when we start the server
    Application("ActiveUsers") = 0
End Sub

Sub Session_OnStart
    ' Change Session Timeout to 20 minutes (if you need to)
    Session.Timeout = 20
    ' Set a Session Start Time
    ' This is only important to assure we start a session
    Session("Start") = Now
    ' Increase the active visitors count when we start the session
    Application.Lock
        Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") + 1
    Application.UnLock
End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd
    ' Decrease the active visitors count when the session ends.
    Application.Lock
        Application("ActiveUsers") = Application("ActiveUsers") - 1
    Application.UnLock
End Sub

</SCRIPT>
and in one simple page of portal i have called the object of this file as
<%=Application("ActiveUsers")%>
but does not give any output.

try adding this code to the bottom of your page to see if your establishing a session id at least.

Code:

<%
'see my session variables for debugging
dim i
dim j
j=Session.Contents.Count
Response.Write("Session variables: " & j)
For i=1 to j
Response.Write(Session.Contents(i) & "<br />")
Next
Response.Write(Session.SessionID)
%>

hi, im too trying to write a global.asa file so that i can authenticate users. i have in session_OnStart:

Session("Authenticated") = 0

that is all i was told i needed and then in the asp page i set the authenticated to 1 when they are logged in

what code should i use (if any) to reset the session ( or is that done in the OnStart?) and how can i create a time out?
I also wish to create a logout button which will reset the authentication and the session but again i am unsure how, can someone direct me to a good site to read up about it?

Thanks

here I put he code provided by you,
so the o/p is as follows.

value of j(where j is Session.Contents.Count)
So, j=Session.Variables=0
as well as, Session.Contents(1)=092880979 (only single figuer)
and Session.SessionID= is blank.

nothing else.

Session.Variables=1
Session.Contents='displays current Date and time'
Session.SessionID=092880979

is your global.asa at your web root? if not try copying it there and see if there's a change
