ToJSONString Showing Up in Restrict Access to Page List

Working in DW CS3 with ADDT using PHP and MySQL. I'm having a issue which I don't think I had before when I use the Restrict Access to Page server behavior. I'm working with user access levels pulled from the 'levels' field in my database and everything appears to be working as expected. I can select any number of available integers to restrict access to those pages. However, I've noticed that if I go back to edit that list of access levels, a new entry appears below the last integer in the list called "toJSONString". (toJSONString does not show up when I initially add the server behavior, only if I go back in to change it).
I did a quick search and turned up this info:"The JSONString interface allows a toJSONString() method so that a class can change the behavior of JSONObject.toString(), JSONArray.toString(), and JSONWriter.value(Object). The toJSONString method will be used instead of the default behavior of using the Object's toString() method and quoting the result." Unfortunately, I don't understand any of that.
I don't know why toJSONString is showing up in the list and if I should be concerned. (Mac OS 10.5.5; DW CS3 (v( Build 3481] and ADDT 1.0.0)

It's a known bug in MX 2004:

Problem with Restrict Access to Page with access level using ASP

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP-VBScript and an Access
database. The pages were created from scratch for this project,
using those tools all the way through.
I've created a login page, an admin homepage, and add, edit,
and list records pages for three tables. The login page uses the
Server Behavior "Log in User", all other pages use the Server
Behavior "Restrict Access to Page". All of these are based on an
Access Level.
Login seems to work correctly, and redirects to the admin
homepage. From the admin homepage, I can open any other page as
expected, and they initially display correctly. On the add and edit
pages, however,
submitting the form often results in getting logged out, but
not always.
Once this happens, I can log back in, but other problems will
sometimes occur during that second login session. Sometimes,
logouts will occur on pages that worked fine during the first login
session. Sometimes, another session variable that I've setup
manually will change when it shouldn't...as if there were two
values stored for my session variable, and reloading the page
changes to the other value.
This
post seems closest to my experience, but it doesn't look like
there was really an answer beyond "I had to fight with it for a bit
to get it to work":
I suspected that there is some problem with session settings
on the server. We have an almost identical tool on the same server
that was developed with an older version of DW that works more
reliably; it sometimes has problems with the initial login, but
never has a problem after that.
Has anyone experienced problems like this? Any suggestions
for what to check? I'm really pulling my hair out since it's so
unreliable...the kind of problem that goes away when you try to
show someone and comes back when they leave.

Hello,
I was thinking that all I would need would be the username, although username and paswsword would be more secure. There are about 50 users and no groups or levels. They are all equal ... same level.
The website is private and there is a general content area for all users and then there will be private areas for each user where proprietary documents will be held. I need to be able to ensure that user 'A' can only see the user 'A' pages, user 'B' can only see user 'B', etc.
I don't really understand what the Dreamweaver script is doing, but the overview sounded like it was the right tool to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Restrict Access To Page Not Working with Different Auth Levels

I have just started playing with the idea of using different auth levels to allow different users access to certain pages on my site.
Within my SQL database I have a authlevel table consisting of 3 possible levels (guest, user, admin)
I am using the Dreamweaver "Log in user" to log in users based on username, pass, and auth level and "Restrict access to page" set to allow user levels 'user' and 'admin'.
The problem, however, occurs when trying to log in. No matter what auth level I try I am redirected to my page where users should be redirected if they are not allowed to enter that page.
I have included below my code from my login page and the page where all authorized users (user and admin) should be directed upon entering the restricted area.
Login Page:
<?php require_once('../Connections/hondovfd.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":

      break;

you don't need all that bloat. set a session during login of some kind of uniquely identifying id. i.e.
$_SESSION['id'] = $row_rs['id'];
then on the pages you need to protect, check it like this....
<?php
session_start();
if (!(isset($_SESSION['id']) && $_SESSION['id'] != '')) {
die(header("Location: http://www.notinprotectedareas.com")); }
?>
you can use an include file i.e.
<?php require_once('login_check.php'); ?>
where file is name login_check.php to make your auth controls clean on your protected pages.

Restrict Access to Page Issue...

Hi this is my first time on Adobe forums, im regard myself as
new to web design, im making my first proper website, for portfolio
purposes. www.imaginationwebdesign.co.uk/port2 is the website..
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 coding with HTML / PHP / MySQL
My Issue:
I have implemented Restrict Access to Page dependant upon
User / Pass / Access Level.
Access Levels are 1 and 3 and are stored on my MySQL
Database.
3 = Full Admin Rights
1 = Minimal Admin Rights.
Now, Whilst the Restrict access works, when Access Level 1
attempts to display page only for Access Level 3, It's not
redirecting to the "AccessDenied.php" page... instead a blank white
page is being displayed and unless i press Back, it just stays
blank and doesnt redirect.
I have used the Server Behaviour Panel so the code is
automatically generated but the source is:
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
$MM_authorizedUsers = "3";
$MM_donotCheckaccess = "false";
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName,
$UserGroup) {
// For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT
authorized.
$isValid = False;
// When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session
variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
// Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that
Session variable is blank.
if (!empty($UserName)) {
// Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only
certain users based on an ID established when they login.
// Parse the strings into arrays.
$arrUsers = Explode(",", $strUsers);
$arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);
if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
$isValid = true;
// Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based
on their username.
if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
$isValid = true;
if (($strUsers == "") && false) {
$isValid = true;
return $isValid;
$MM_restrictGoTo = "AccessDeniedAdmin.php";
if (!((isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) &&
(isAuthorized("",$MM_authorizedUsers, $_SESSION['MM_Username'],
$_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'])))) {
$MM_qsChar = "?";
$MM_referrer = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (strpos($MM_restrictGoTo, "?")) $MM_qsChar = "&";
if (isset($QUERY_STRING) && strlen($QUERY_STRING)
> 0)
$MM_referrer .= "?" . $QUERY_STRING;
$MM_restrictGoTo = $MM_restrictGoTo. $MM_qsChar .
"accesscheck=" . urlencode($MM_referrer);
header("Location: ". $MM_restrictGoTo);
exit;
?>
any help would be great to get the redirection working...
I've tried this on several pages and it still doesnt work.
Thank you and sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

As I said in my original reply, the problem was almost
certainly caused
by an error that you couldn't see because the display of
errors is
turned off for security reasons. The Restrict Access to Page
server
behavior uses session_start(), which must come before there
is any
output to the browser. "Output" includes new lines or
whitespace outside
PHP tags. There is almost certainly an extra line at the end
of
con1.php, which would prevent the session from starting. In
turn, that
would generate an error, resulting in your blank page.
The problem is closely related to the "headers already sent"
error
message that confuses most PHP beginners. Read about it here:
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
By the way, it sounds as though you are testing everything on
a remote
server, rather than testing locally before deploying to a
remote server.
That's a very bad idea, particularly if the display of errors
is turned
off. You should test files in a safe, local environment with
error
reporting turned to the highest level, and eliminate all
errors before
deploying to a live server. If you're testing locally, make
sure that
error_reporting in php.ini is set to E_ALL, and that
display_errors is on.

Restrict Access to Page Using a password.php Instead of Server Behavior

I previously used "log in" and "restrict access to page" server behaviors for my client portal when I only had one client. I had my username and password stored in mySQL database. I recently have gained more clients that all needed to be redirected to their own customized landing page when logged in. Because of this, I used a password.php to store the usernames and passwords and to redirect to different pages. Now, I am wondering how I can restrict access to these pages (i.e. someone won't be able to access the pages by typing the url) since I will not be connecting to a database anymore.

I'm also confused by your statements.

It doesn't matter where you store the credentials - database or php file - the techniques for restricting access will be similar. I really don't understand why you moved away from the database when you got more clients. The more data you need to manage, the more reason to store it in a database.
After logging in, most sites direct users to the same page, yet pull user specific data from the database. If for some reason you can't do this and need to built individual pages for each client, then store the 'landing' page for the client in the php file or database. Restrict access to each page by comparing the logged in name with an allowed login name. Or a more dynamic approach would be to dynamically pass the page name to a database query that validates that it's ok for the logged in user to access.
Also, these questions are more appropriate for the app dev forum.

Help! php Restrict Access to Page() in dw cs5 problem

I have an admin.php page which takes me to other pages where i can update my info displayed on the website. All was working well until I added the restrict access to page behaviour. When i log in successfully, I am supposed to be taken to those update pages. If the log in is not successful, I am led back to the login page (the "restricted" page). However, even if I log in successfully, I am being taken to the "restricted" page when I try to access the update pages! I do not understand what is going wrong. Any help?

How do you know the login is successful? If you're taken to the restricted page, it means that the login failed.
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the code you posted here. Possible reasons for the failure include getting the username or password wrong (they're usually case-sensitive). It's also possible that sessions haven't been enabled on your server, or that PHP can't write to the directory where sessions are stored.

Block/Restrict access request page on CUP

Hi All,
I've an interesting requirement.
We use a CUP 5.3 SP7. We would be using the IDM webservices to create access requests to CUP and we want all our requests to be initiated ONLY through our IDM solution. Is there a way we can restrict the /AE/index.jsp page access to only the users with a AEAdmin role? (Assuming the Admins follow the rules !!!)
I've succeeded in taking out the Create Request and Copy Request from the AEApprover role mby adjusting the UME actions, but the same user can still access the /AE/index.jsp page to create a request.
Any insight/work around is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Anil

Anil,
You can edit the index_left_nav.jsp page on the GRC server to disable the request access link on the Index page. To achieve this open the index_left_nav.jsp page and comment the whole tr and th lines containing the following words.
LocaleUtil.getLabel(AELabels.LBL_IDX_NAV_REQUESTACCESS
Commenting is done by the following characters .

Restrict access to pages

Hi all.
My adf application web consists on three pages, one of them has a region with a bounded task flow.
There are to points to enter in the page, one for the admin, another for the users. This boths pages must be visible from the outside.
http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/login.jspx.
http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/admin.jspx.
If somebody writes this url`s, the pages will be loaded.
When a user is logged in, the other page is loaded with his info in Session.
http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/main.jspx.
The problem is that if I write the url:
http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/main.jspx.
it is also loaded, and it cannot be loaded because the user must be logged in.
The ideal feature is if some user writes this url in the navigator and the user is not logged in, the application loads by default
http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/login.jspx.
Any help please?
Thanks a lot

ifyou are trying to access a pagefragment from a bounded taskflow then you dont have to worry about the user login... if in the bounded taskflow the user will be asked to login when he is not safe to use the page.
if you are not havign a bounded taskflow and you want to restrict the access to the page then you have to give the security for that particular page in the jazn-data.xml to authenticated-role to view the page..

Restrict access to page in Dreamweaver MX 2004 PHP

OK. I'm trying to authenticate users through a log in page,
but it always fail.
I have a index.php, which ask for username and password. It
checks for username password in a MySQL table.
Then I have update.php, once authenticated users can update
some data on a form, and submit changes.
When I enter wrong username/pass, it goes straight to
error.php, which is good.
When I enter correct username/pass, it goes to
....error.php?accesscheck=%2.....
Thanks so much.

It's a known bug in MX 2004:

Creating a restricted access page.

I need to create a restricted access page within my website, so that a username and password are required to access. The Dreamweaver instructions ask me to go to the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), click the plus button and choose User Authentication > Restrict Access To Page. However, the Server Behaviors panel does not provide me with an available plus button to choose. What can I do about this?

CC is the current version of DW. It was released this year and Server Behaviors were removed from it because they are outdated. Before that was CS6, CS5.5, and CS5. CS4 was released in Fall of 2008.
Password Protecting a page or folder on your server can usually be done very quickly through your remote server's Admin or C-Panel.
Or if your host server is Linux, you could do it with just 2 files: .htaccess and .htpasswd

As I said in my original reply, the problem was almost
certainly caused
by an error that you couldn't see because the display of
errors is
turned off for security reasons. The Restrict Access to Page
server
behavior uses session_start(), which must come before there
is any
output to the browser. "Output" includes new lines or
whitespace outside
PHP tags. There is almost certainly an extra line at the end
of
con1.php, which would prevent the session from starting. In
turn, that
would generate an error, resulting in your blank page.
The problem is closely related to the "headers already sent"
error
message that confuses most PHP beginners. Read about it here:
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
By the way, it sounds as though you are testing everything on
a remote
server, rather than testing locally before deploying to a
remote server.
That's a very bad idea, particularly if the display of errors
is turned
off. You should test files in a safe, local environment with
error
reporting turned to the highest level, and eliminate all
errors before
deploying to a live server. If you're testing locally, make
sure that
error_reporting in php.ini is set to E_ALL, and that
display_errors is on.

Restrict Access and Multiple Upload with Insert

I continue to have problems with using Restrict Access to Folder with Multiple Upload with Insert. When the restrict access is enabled the uploader does not work, when it's removed it works. Any ideas?

I've found that if I have a page that displays the kt_login_id, login and then go to that page it doesn't display the login ID. Then if I add the multiple image uploader w/ DB insert and reload the page the login ID is displayed and the uploader works, however, if I set an uploader field to the login ID it inserts and uploads everything but the login id. I thought this might have to do with the fact the the 'Restrict Access to Page' is not on the page yet. When I add it the uploader and insert stops working. I've placed the 'Restrict Access to Page' code in every possible place in the code (above the head) and the only place where the uploader/insert works is when the resrtict code is after the uploader code. But then again the login id does not get inserted. Please someone help.

Restrict Access to certain users based on if a variable in the SQL database is set to 1

Hey guys,
I am quite new to PHP and MySQL and I have a question concerning access restriction. For a website project I am experimenting with Dreamweaver's login and restrict access behavior, which works fine. However, on the website I would like to restrict access for users that only have a 1 set in the corresponding MySQL database (which means that e.g. each page has a different variable in the database that can be set to 1, which would allow me to personify access beyond the level of the out-of-the box option, where each user can only have one access level). So it is quite similiar to the out-of-the-box restrict access to page based on user group, but just depending on another variable in the database.
I guess it can be done with an if condition that checks in the database if the logged in user has a 1 in this variable, and if yes give her/him access if not redirect to another page. However, I could not figure out how to implement that.
Your help is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hello guys,
I spend quite some time on the internet reseaching my wish and redefined my need: I would basically like to have the possibility to assign a user multiple access levels. There would be e.g. 10 pages for each I create an access level. Then a user with e.g. access to pages 2 and 8 can only access these two pages. So my basic question is if and if yes how I can assign a user muliple access levels at a time and store these values in the MySQL database.
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Restricting access to link based on a user's accesslevel

I've gotten the DW login feature working for restricting
access to pages based on a user's successful login and associated
accesslevel. However, I have some links that open an Excel
spreadsheet and an Outlook calendar. Is there an easy way to
restrict access to a link so that an unauthorized user can't
navigate to the link? Here's my code for the link:
<td height="19" colspan="3"
valign="top"><em><strong><a
href="STI-Intranet/XLS/PROD_SCHED.xls" title="Current Production
Schedule (Read Only)">STI Production Schedule
</a></strong></em></td>
<td height="4%" valign="top"><strong><a href="
http://server_3/public/cal_engineering/"
title="FROM INTRANET"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial,
Helvetica,
sans-serif">INT</font></a></strong></td>

What server side language are you using? Do the links need to
be restricted
to just one access level, or multiple levels? Should it be
blocked for only
one level or multiple?

Restrict Access Not working

I have 3 folders - Admin, Private, Public
I have 3 values for Permissions 1=Admin, 2=Private, 3=Public
I have an automatic redirect when a user logins in
ie. a privater user logins in and is redirected to /private/index.php
Which works great, now i placed a restrict access folder behavior to the private folder and only selected 2 for the permission (private access). Now when the private user logins in and is redirected to /private/index.php it says access denied please login.
Why is it not allowing that person to get to that page. Ive checked the /private/index.php page and it says:
//Start Restrict Access To Page
$restrict = new tNG_RestrictAccess($conn_portersonline, "../../");
//Grand Levels: Level
$restrict->addLevel("1");
$restrict->addLevel("2");
$restrict->Execute();
Anybody have any ideas???
