am writing a web service in vb.net/asp.net 2, that needs user's name. It works fine when the url request is "www.mysite.com" but if any one has logged-in using "mysite.com" without a "www" and goes to the page that calls my web service, The HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name gives null. How can I resolve this problem?
View 2 RepliesI have created an ExtendedId class which extends GenericIdentity. (This stores Id as well as name)
In a httpmodule I stored this extended id in Current.User like so:
HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(myExtendedId, roles);
Problem is, later, how do I get at my ExtendedId type again?
If I try this:
ExtendedId eId = (ExtendedId)HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
is possible to create another property like 'userid' as i can access like
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.userid ? if yes , how? (actualy last year i did something like this but i have forgotten
I create two pages, the first one is the login page with user name and password textboxes - (not asp login control) , when clicking login button I check the login authentication, if it is true redirect to default page. in the default page if !IsCallBack then i check httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated
if it is false i redirect the user to the login page. but my problem is that the httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated is always false.
Below the section of authentication in web config

We have an application using Windows authentication and have <Domain>olduser account.
We renamed the account in the active directory to <Domain>olduser2
Login to a pc as <Domain>olduser2 and try to access our application.
the problem is we can't login anymore.
when i debug the application, i can see that the HttpContext.User.Identity.Name is still <Domain>olduser.. and not olduser2
We have an SharePoint site no login (anonymous) with a search module using AJAX. Now the users complains that the module isn't working. When I check the code (not developed by me), I find that the code only runs if "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated=true". Could that ever return true on an anonymous site?
View 1 Replieswhen ever i check User.Identity.AuthenticationType the returned string is 'Custom' always, doesn't matter my authentication type is 'Windows' or '''Forms'.
I want to do some different coding in aspx.cs for windows and forms authentication, but i am unable to differentiate between them because 'User.Identity.AuthenticationType' always returns 'Custom'.
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.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
this works fine on my local site but as soon as i upload the site to my live server i get stem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
on the first line of this:
if (!Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
pnlSignIn.Visible = true;
pnlSignOut.Visible = false;
}
When user requests http://localhost/WebApp1/Default.aspx, txtApplicationPath.Text should be assigned "/WebApp1", while txtAbsolutePath.Text should be assigned "http://localhost/WebApp1/Default.aspx", but instead both textboxes display empty strings.

I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>
get the below error. My application was working fine until I probably modified something, but don't know what.

View 3 RepliesIn the IIS, it shows that the web app (i'm using) is using an application pool that uses NETWORK SERVICE account for identity. But when I debug/run my web app, User.Identity.Name shows that my windows user login instead. I checked my web.config file, and it does not have Impersonate enabled. In fact, I set it to false, and it still shows the same.
View 1 Replies Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.
i currently work on an asp.net mvc 2 project and noticed that inside an asp.net mvc view page i can get the user name authenticated via User.Identity.Name, but if i try to use the DsiplayFor method in order to display my model from a view user control, it just does not exist. Could i pass this parameter to my model using additional ViewData parameter that comes with DisplayFor html extension?

View 3 RepliesI'm using asp.net and trying to assign roles for a user with forms authentication like this:
public ActionResult AdminLogin(string password, string username)
{
User _user = _us.GetUsers(username, password).FirstOrDefault();
if (_user != null)
{
string _username = _user.Username;[code]....
When I debug HttpContext.User.Identity always is null, but _username and _roles contains the proper data.
I have a security manager in my application that works for both windows and web, the process is simple, just takes the user and pwd and authenticates them against a database then sets the Thread.CurrentPrincipal with a custom principal. For windows applications this works fine, but I have problems with web applications.
After the process of authentication, when I'm trying to set the Current.User to the custom principal from Thread.CurrentPrincipal this last one contains a GenericPrincipal. Am I doing something wrong? This is my code:
Login.aspx

I need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication.I've been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context for code that deals with the HttpContext. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the DI pattern as well. (Give the class an attribute of type IRepository and then pass in a Repository object when you instantiate the controller.)
What I don't understand, however, is the proper way to Mock the Windows Principal object available through User.Identity. Is this part of the HttpContext? have a link to an article that demonstrates this (or a recommendation for a book)?
I want to get the user specified in the app pool identity (which for us is a domain user). I want to get this info in Application_Start.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to configure one http module(a vb module) on MOSS site. In this module I have entry like below:
Dim roles As String() = Nothing
Dim webIdentity As New GenericIdentity(OracleUser, "Form")
Dim principal As New GenericPrincipal(webIdentity, roles)
HttpContext.Current.User = principal
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString, False)
Due to this I am getting 500 internal server and exception on browser is: Exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' was thrown.
Parameter name: encodedValue
If I comment "HttpContext.Current.User" related two lines then it redirect to form login.
what is the use formsAuthentication.user.identity
is it one of the property of page
I'm not talking about asp.net membership.
For each logged user I want to cache some properties like status or the number of friend requests, from the db.
I can create custom class which would do it but I thought it will be better to extend the existing User.Identity property. Something like this:
Label1.Text = User.Identity.Status;
