Captcha for Red Wing Suggestion Form
This project comes from help desk ticket #014486, 01/15/2008.
TC 2/7/2008 -- Thur., updated and closed ticket.
2/4/2008 TC -- Got a working suggestion form up w/ recaptacha. Debugging/testing. Need to continue debugging in IE.
2/1/2008 TC -- Worked on test recaptcha. It worked. Moved on to new suggestion form w/ recaptacha.
1/31/2008 TC download/installed express edition of Visual Studio on
Wed. night (1/30). Today created a test recaptcha. Worked. Worked on
full suggess form aspx example. Need to further debug C# code dealing
with sending the form request onto tomcat after form validation check
w/in ASP.NET code.
01/25/2008 TC -- After much
consternation, I have found out that this version of IIS requires the
ASPNET account be added to the operators tab in order for ASP.NET to
run correctly. I tried, unsuccessfully to add read/write permissions
for the ASPNET and IUSER accounts to the needed site files and folders
directly going to properties > security for each folder needed and
propagating the permissions to the child objects of the folder. This
approach worked for a brief time Wednesday night, 1/23 ?, until server
security updates were applied to www2. Afterwards, ASP.NET stopped
working. Now it is fixed, yeah!
01/24/2008 TC -- Continuing to work on getting ASP.NET running.

Problem
DWS 01/15/2008 08:21 AM
Randy sent in the following e-mail to the Help Desk. Hi Mick,
For the first time, we are getting spam via our suggestion form (http://redwing.lib.mn.us/suggestionform.htm). Are there any steps we can take to eliminate - or at least minimize - the problem?
Assigning to Mick.
Resolution
MR 01/16/2008 11:16 AM I am working on this with Tom. I need to track where the message originates, and if we can somehow filter it through our spam box. Coming from a web site hosted by us, the message may actually be coming internally, and therefore bypassing the spam filter.
TC 01/22/2008 11:46 AM Taking possesion of the ticket. Solution chosen is to use captcha from http://recaptcha.net/. In the process of getting ASP.NET running on www2 in order to install the captcha.
TC 01/28/2008 11:43 AM Moving to selco.info projects page. Changing status to P, Open - Resolution Pending.
