.net - How To Set Request.IsAuthenticated To True When Not Using FormsAuthentication.Redirect
Jan 20, 2010
I am using Form Authentication and sending an Aajx request to the server for authentication. Based on the json result, the client decides where to go and what to do. That is the reason I am not using FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage to not interfere the ajax/json response.In this case Request.IsAuthenticated returns false, even after validating the user with Membership.ValidateUser. Then I set the cookie using FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false)
I have a page where, when the user has successfully logged in, I store some values in the session.
I then use these values to load an application list page. This page is automatically refreshed after 20.1 minutes, with the sessionstate timeout and forms timeout in web.config set to 20 minutes (with sliding expiration). This means, if the user does not use any page for more than 20 minutes, he is timed out.
My problem is that the User.Identity.IsAuthenticated sometimes returns true, when the session has expired.
i have 2 websites, website1 has window.open link to the website2, authentication is forms (and windows but in web.config is set to forms) for both websites, when i click on the link and debug Request.IsAuthenticated should be true or false? both applications are running on the same machine
I dont want to cache this variable : Request.IsAuthenticated ... because some result depend of this condition ... I try the donut caching by scottgu's but it return (I think) just some text not a bool ... http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/11/28/tip-trick-implement-donut-caching-with-the-asp-net-2-0-output-cache-substitution-feature.aspx
Now I'm tired to try anything that come to my mind .
I am using Forms Authentication in my VS-2005 website.In case of wrong credentials or while explicitly requesting protected pages the website is able to redirect user to login page. However, when correct login credentials are provided the application is not able to redirect the user to the desired page.While debugging I found that 'Request.IsAuthenticated=False' just before I redirect the user to the desired page.While coding I thought that this property will be set to true automatically after I generate the Authentication ticket. So do I need to set it explicitly inside the submit button click on Login page after validation?BTW I have not used the 'GetAuthcookie', 'SetAuthCookie' or 'RedirectFromLoginPage' methods. I am posting the code inside the submit button click on the Login page as well as the Authentication and Authorization tags in web.config.
Protected Sub btnsubmit_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsubmit.Click 'here first validate if the user is valid user ad = New Aranya_Data
When that fragment (#blahtab) is present, some jQuery picks up on that and displays a different section of the page initially. However, that page requires a user to authenticate first. Coming back from the authentication step using FormsAuthentication, the fragment is discarded, regardless of the UrlEncode step.
I don't see the fragment actually sent to the server when I use a debugger on my local machine. Is this standard fare and the fragment is only for the client side?How can I keep that tacked on without writing my own redirection code on the login page?
Alternately, should I use another method to preserve the view of the page?
i'm using the FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage for the user login and for redirect to default.aspx page. I want that if a user called admin do the login is redirected to the page admin.aspx
I have a feeling that Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") and User.Identity.Name return the same string while using FormsAuthentication.So my question is as simple as that. Which one should i better use?
the code above generates the error as I mentioned at this topic's title. I simply need to refresh my ASP.NET page, I can't use that code instead:HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Refresh","2");because it says about IIS pipeline modeThe puprose is that I must get into OnLoad method where some conditions are true after refresh/redirect
I am using the EnableCdn=true in my ScriptManager so that WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd are overridden with static links to JS libraries at the MS CDN service as follows:
How do I override the CDN URLs or service so that I can retrieve the scripts over HTTPS from the MS CDN service rather than HTTP to avoid the browser mixed mode message? or for that matter a different or my own CDN service entirely.
What is the simplest way to redirect a web request to an ASP.NET application to a subdomain?If a request comes into the URL http://somesite.com/foo.aspx, the new destination URL should behttp://www.somesite.com/foo.aspx or http://blog.somesite.com/foo.aspxHow can you programmatically redirect the request to the subdomain, keeping the rest of the URL intact?
I'm going to be in a situation where I'll have www.DomainA.com and www.DomainB.com, each having seperate IPs. All requests to www.DomainB.com/{Path}, I'd like to redirect to www.DomainA.com/{Path}.
My initial reaction was, in the base directory, to simply create a HTTPModule and Web.config to add in the module, where the module would then redirect the request to DomainA.
The only problem with this is IIS is not executing the module, and instead determining itself whether or not there is a matching file or application to run based upon the requested path (i.e. so you'll either get an error about the requested file not existing, or a security error about not finding the requested application).
What do I need to change in IIS to always run my module? Or is there any easier way to do this using .Net 2.0 & IIS6?
I currently have the following ActionFilterAttribute:
[Code]....
No matter the code, the point is that when I use the Filter in my controller, I need to pass in values for both "mem" and "redirect", but I don't know the syntax. All examples I've seen only use one parameter. Is there any way to use more than one or should I revise to a different strategy? As an example, I currently use:
[Code]....
where m is an instance of WBMembership. If I tried to add ",redirect=true" inside the (), I get an error.
I have a site where if someone selects an item from the menu it checks if authenicated using formsauthentication. If not it will take them to the login.
After a successful login i want to redirect them to their orignal request.
I have an aspx page where I want to post values to a new page and then redirect to that new page. I don't get any errors and the redirection occurs but the AllKeys collection is always empty.
It took me a little while to figure this out, but the AllowPaging="true" on the FormView seems to be the culprit. I don't have much experience paging from a FormView, but for this requirement the customers wants this kind of UI.I have a FormView with DefaultMode="Edit", which is bound to an EntityDataSource. One of the entity's properties, "ExternalID", determines whether some of the other properties in the entity are read-only. For example, if IsExternal==null, the FirstName, LastName, and Email fields should be rendered as TextBoxes. If IsExternal!=null, the 3 properties should be rendered in Label controls.
In the web app (C#, ASP.NET) I am working on at the moment, the value in Request.Headers["Referer"] can determine things like custom style. I have created a custom page with a drop down menu to test this functionality. So when the selected index changes, the value selected should be set in the Request.Headers["Referer"] then will be redirected (Response.Redirect), the receiving page will then pick up the value in Request.Headers["Referer"] and adjust the styling accordingly. However I haven't been able to set value for Request.Headers["Referer"]. Is it possible at all?
Website 1 sets the value in Request.Headers["Referer"], e.g. www.xyz.com and before doing Response.Redirect to www.website2.com
Website 2 picks up value in Request.Headers["Referer"], in this case www.xyz.com and do what it needs to do, i.e. styling etc.
