# Sample ASP Script for unencrypted single sign-on

# Sample ASP Script for unencrypted single sign-on {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu
* 
* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

This sample ASP .NET code creates a simple authentication portal and passes an
unencrypted HTTP header as a URL parameter.  
This sample assumes:

* The web server supports ASP .NET
* The target instance is `https://<instance name>.service-now.com/`
* SiteMinder or another single sign-on application has pre-authenticated the user
* The target instance expects an HTTP header of SM_USER
{#c_SampleASPScriptUnencryptedSSO__ul_vkf_gs1_3p}  
Change the ASP code to redirect users to the proper instance and create the proper HTTP header.

    <html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head  runat = "server" > <title >Portal Page Login </ title > <%--    <meta http-equiv = "REFRESH" content = "0;url=https://<instance name>.service-now.com/">--%>
     
         <script  runat = "server" >
     
            public void go_to(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                ////Send URL parameters
                String URL = urlBox.Text + "?SM_USER=" + userNameBox.Text;
                Response.Redirect(URL);
            }
         </ script >
