Active Server Pages Implementation
- Platform
Active Server Pages will run on Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows NT Workstation
4.0 with Peer Web Services, and Microsoft Windows® 95 with Personal Web Server.
Windows NT 3.51 is NOT supported. Windows NT 4.0 on MIPS is also not supported by
ASP.
- Security
Active Server Pages is a component of Internet Information Server, and thus uses
Windows NT Security. ASP files can be easily restricted to just certain users through
secure Windows NT authentication, basic Web authentication, or client-side certificates.
For additional security, all client-to-server communications can be secured with
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
- Integrity
An Active Server Pages application can integrate with any ODBC-compliant databases
including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and DB2 databases. Any
OLE 2 application, such as Lotus Notes or Microsoft Excel, can also be scripted
to access or process information. You can also write components to access online
data feeds and legacy mainframes.
- ISAPI Application
ISAPI applications require all of the programming and layout to be contained in
a .dll file written in C++. ISAPI applications are thus more difficult to create
and maintain. With ASP files, an HTML writer can script an external component and
format the output. ASP separates the layout and design from the business logic.
