Direct write to pagegate database from asp

[PhotoshopGod]

I used to work for the company I now am designing a website for. I do have a basic understanding of how pagegate works, but I don't have direct access, anymore, to the pagegate software on there server.

Here is what I need to do.

The company has one site setup and working fine. They are designing there main site and want paging integrated into it. They don't want the default html page generated from the webgate.exe file. They want custom response pages. The entire site is writen in asp. There main website is not located on the same server as the webgate.

What I need to know is what table in the pagegate database do I need to write the info to to send a page?

They have also talked about having the asp page verify the user before sending the page. Is their a single table I can access to locate users?

I have read through the documentation and have not come accross anything yet that has shed light on my situation.

They are running webgate version 3.7 if that matters.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure I would necessarily recommend trying this in PageGate version 3.7 - Version 4 would be a lot more stable and I'd recommend you upgrade to version 4 first.

If, however, you wanted to do it in version 3.7, the two tables you're interested in would be the Messages table and the Users table.

I assume there is a fee to upgrade to version 4?

If there is, about how much?

I came accross a BACK_REF command but it looks as though all it does is place that url into a link on the generic html page generated by the webgate. Does this or anyother command actually do a redirect to another webpage?

Thanks for your help.

It costs $50 to upgrade from any version 3.X to version 4.0.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with .ASP to answer the BACK_REF question.

I decided not to write directly to the database. Instead I just used a hidden IFrame and inbedded it into their custom response page. It works fine.

The back_ref command is actually a webgate command and is used to set the url in the generic response page that the webgate.exe file generates.

I'll definitly keep that link, I might need it for future projects.

Thanks for your help.
