How can I create an additional user now that the table is in the web host? I can see that there's aspnet_Membership, aspnet_Applications, etc..etc
View 2 RepliesMy application have 2 Roles. Admin and Student. I created some tasks for these 2 roles by using LoginView ( Edit RoleGroup). As user login both can see there allocated tasks.
But I want to allocate some admin tasks to some student(s) not for all. How can I do it?
Its very easy to add users to roles by using the in built controls. but how can add users through customized login controls?. i have tried using
//MembershipUser m = Membership.CreateUser(name, pass, null);

I have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.
Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:
[code]....
So, obviously, I have a Sql Server database that contains the users and roles for the web app. I'd like to create a separate windows app that references the web app assembly, and use the configured MembershipProvider, RoleProvider, and machineKey to create users, assign users to roles, etc. If that's not possible, I can duplicate the configuration settings from web.config within the windows app. But I don't know how to do this either.
Pls explain the Membership Roles in MVC ASP.NET 3.5

after successful creation of 3 users on my web site now cannot create users
I can't seem to find this answer anywhere on google or stackoverflow, even though I'd thought it would've been an easy thing to do.
I want to understand how the system.web authorization tag on the web.config works, and what exactly each attribute and property does.
For instance, what does
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
Specifically what I want to do is to disallow access to most of the site for unauthenticated users, allow access to some of the site for authenticated users who belong to a certain role, and allow full access to users from a second role.
I have an ASP.NET project where I want to keep the membership (SQL Provider) in a separate database and the Roles/Profiles will be per application.QuestionWhat is the KEY that relates between the Membership database and the Roles/Profile database? Is it the UserID or UserName?I opened up the tables in separate expolrer and notice the UserID is different in the Membership database from that in the application Roles database.

How can I ensure that when the user is logged in, the appropriate menu items are displayed on the Landing page? Still new to all of this and my current method of 'trial and error' has seen me reach suicide levels this morning!
Lets say that I have a database set up with a load of info in it and I decide I want to add the membership and roles functionality to my site but my hosting provider makes me pay for each database I use. I don't want to pay for another db, so how do I set it up so that instread of creating membership and roles tables in the the aspnetdb database, it creates them in my existing database?
View 5 RepliesUsing ASP.NET 2.0, with forms authentication.
Just for a test, I configured the roles cookie in web.config like this :
<roleManager enabled="true" cacheRolesInCookie="true" cookieName=".ASPXROLES" cookieTimeout="2"></roleManager>
I wanted to see what would happen when the cached role cookie expired. Using Fiddler, after 2 minutes had elapsed, I could see that the raw value of the role cookie had changed.
I was expecting that on expiry, that ASP.NET would simply re-read the roles information from the database, and repopulate the cookie with the same value. So my question is, why would the raw value of the cookie change after expiry ? The cookie value is not human-readable (base 64 encoded and/or encrypted ?), so I can't tell if the information in it is the same, although the application still seems to work fine.
EDIT :
It looks like each time the roles are encrypted and cached in the cookie, it gets a different raw value.
e.g. if you run the following code :
RolePrincipal rp = (RolePrincipal) User;
string str = rp.ToEncryptedTicket();
Label1.Text = str;
I am building a subscription based web site, which currently has three subscription levels, i.e. Horses, Soccer, and Horses and Soccer. I was thinking of implementing standard role based authorization, where a Horses subscriber would get roles including those to use the Horses section, etc.
Should I use a standard role provider, and when a member subscribes to the site, assign roles for his subscription to him, or use a hierarchical role provider, that when asked for the roles for a member, only then uses the member's subscription level to 'calculate' a set of roles for the member.
how do i do that through config file?
View 11 Repliesin my app i want to create two types of users. (1) 'staff' (2) 'admin'
i have a page called registration which basically creates a user. i used the asp.net configuration wizard to create roles and set access rights to certain pages and this works great.
however, if i was to deploy this app then users wouldnt have access to the asp.net wizard therefore not be able to create users with roles/access.
so how can i do this in code? can i create a drop down in the registration page with two values (staff and admin) which will represent roles and then another drop down with access rights? (allow/deny)
how can i now program these drop down and make it work like i would normally do using asp.net configuration wizard?

I'm trying to build a portal kind of an application in asp.net, in which one of the functionality is letting people log in and upload their documents. The upload page is only accessible to registered users of the portal.
Problem:
I would like to track the user uploaded files according to their userIds.
Is it possible to use the FileUpload Control and C# to fetch the current user id, create a directory with the same name(as that of userID) in the file system and upload the files( multiple file upload, if necessary) into it?
Also another admin page would have to be able to see the list of files uploaded by the specific user and download it if necessary.
