View 2 RepliesDoes anyone has a solution (sample code) for the following features:
Create a randomGuid/Cryptographically strong random number Send a unique URL containing the random number to the user's email address When confirmed, the user is asked to change password
My provider is currently parametrized this way:
[code]....
The security issues with this type of procedure have been discussed here before.
I using change password control, how can i change the password without enter the current password?
View 8 RepliesI had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .
i am generate random password and show it in a textbox. when i am set textbox property textmode to password then it doesn't show in textbox but when i set it singleline then password shows in textbox. I am using following code --
textbox1.attributes.add("value",passwordvalue);
for show i am using --
textbox1.text = textbox1.attributes["value"].tostring();
Same happing with when i edit record. password doesn't show in textbox.
How can I use Membership.GeneratePassword to return a password that ONLY contains alpha or numeric characters? The default method will only guarantee a minimum and not a maximum number of non alphanumeric passwords.
View 2 RepliesAm using ASP.NET membership authentication in a small website and i just noticed some thing funny during testing. Am trying to enable user to change their login password any time they wish, i dragged a change password control to the form, i changed the password for my test account, but now all passwords are still working.
I can login with the old password as well as the new password with this particular test account. If i try with any other random characters as the new password, i cant successfully login (which OK). But if type the old password, am able to login, if i type the new password, am still able to login, am finding this very strange.
can I change the password algorithm and still use the sqlMembershipProvider or do I have to create a new sqlMembershipProvider. If so, are they any step by step tutorials on how to do that.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the Best practice of dynamic changing password for this scenario?
The scenario is:
There are three web apps using ASP.NET.
App1 checks the passwords of app2/app3 to authenticate the identity, and if app2/app3 is authenticated then app1 is allowed to receive information from App2 and App3.
And app1 has to change the passwords of app2/app3 every two hour for security reason.
Is it possible that there is a way to implement this scenario without app1 saving the passwords of app2/app3 for security reason?
Or is there any best practice for dynamic changing password scenario?
I am able to change a username by directly accessing the asp.net membership user tables. However, the old username is preserved in a new row and assigned a new UserID automatically by asp.net. How do I stop that from happening?
EDIT: only in the users table and roles table, not the membership table.
var mUser = dc.aspnet_Users
.Where(u => u.UserId == (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey)
.Select(u => u).SingleOrDefault();
mUser.UserName = newName;
mUser.LoweredUserName = newName.ToLower();
try
{
dc.SubmitChanges();
}
catch
{}

View 5 RepliesMSChart created a temp compact database ( ASPNET.MDF ).
This was on my personal laptop. I'm moving the project to another PC for a demo at work. But, my sa password is different now.
How do you login to this database? or can I run a utility to push the tables to sql server instead?
I keep getting the sa password fails message, because the laptop and work have different passwords.
i am working on membership concepts in asp.net. Now i want to reset new password and getpassword for specific user.

Do I need to make a Custom Membership Provider or is there another way?
I have a project using ASP.NET Forms Authentication and the Microsoft SQL Membership Provider. The website is DONE. I use this provider everywhere. (Register, Login, Forgot Password, etc...) Until now, my website users have not needed complex passwords. The users' passwords were really just pins. The user could select anything for a password in the past. I had almost no restrictions for this website because none of the data is private or personal. However I have received new requirements.
Here are the new password requirements:
Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length. Passwords must be created using 3 of the following 4 character types:
Uppercase
Lowercase
Numeric
Punctuation
Do not use your name or User ID in the password. Do not use old passwords again later. Passwords must be changed at least every 60 days. Passwords may not contain your User ID or any part of your full name. Password history retention will prohibit use of the last 24 passwords. Passwords may be changed by users only once in any 6-day period.
I realize I am going to have to modify all of the following pages: Register, Login, Forgot Password, etc... fortunately I stopped using the default controls a long time ago.
My first thought was that I need to write a Custom Membership Provider. I don't know how to make the standard provider to do most of this. I could write code to do.
Do I modify the aspnet_membership table? Should I add my own table aspnet_something? Can the user profile table be used for this problem? Do I need my own MembershipUser class?
Evaluting the method signature, it is required to know old password while changing it.
membershipUser.ChangePassword(userWrapper.OldPassword, userWrapper.Password)
Is there any way to change password without knowing old one.
Is there possibility to create new user with Membership.CreateUser but not to specify the user's password?
I tried with minRequiredPasswordLength="0" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0", but it didn't work.
I also tried with "" and DBNull.Value for password in the function but it didn't work.
Is there a way to do this?
How can I set up membership provider to only accept passwords that adhere to the following rules:
Minimum 6 characters
Contains at least one letter and number
Should be case sensitive
I have developed a Silverlight app using forms authentication and the asp net membership, aspnetdb, the whole enchilada.The bug I see is that the password for my users change by them self every bow and then, the way I fix them is by deleting the user and creating them again, this has been I problem all the time.In a post I read the problem was manifesting because I didn't have a machineKey in my web.config, I now do, so I dunno what the problem is this time...Is there a definitive fix to this? can you please provide assistance?
View 11 RepliesOur user is using integrated windows authentication.
All users hit the login page where they must login with their domain/username/password combination.
Once they login, they can change their password.
Once the password is changed, they are displayed a message and they can navigate through the rest of the site.
I get the following scenarios...
1) User can view one page but not a second page User changes password USer clicks on link and receives page USer clicks on second link and is asked for credentials
2) User can view all pages USer changes password User clicks on link and receives page User clicks on second link (and all links thereafter) and receives page (they are never prompted for credentials)
3) User can not view any pages
User changes password USer clicks on link and is asked for credentials
When i add asp.net membership provider it uses some default database to add those records?How to change the default database to my own sql database?
View 1 RepliesI started out with the following code which worked fine, no problems:
[Code]....
I've since expanded the above so that it uses different providers according to the current logged in user. Here's the code since my changes:
[Code]....
I'm not getting any error messages but when I view the web page in the browser, it is stuck in a continuous loop where the page displays (correctly), then posts back to the server and displays again.
On the MSDN page for the Membership.ApplicationName property (which applies to an asp.net membership provider), it warns that although one can change Membership.ApplicationName in code, 'The ApplicationName property is not thread safe for multiple writes, and changing the ApplicationName property value can result in unexpected behavior for multiple users of an application.' They therefore recommend avoiding using it for a 'web application'.
This is because the default SqlMembershipProvider is written as a singleton. But here's my question: is it OK if all the threads in my application process are going to set Membership.ApplicationName to the same thing?
I'm thinking of having multiple applications on my IIS box, each with their own separate application pool. I want to point them to the same location, but based on the hostname, set the application provider to different things. Wouldn't this actually be OK? It might not be a thread-safe operation, but doesn't each application pool have its own process and therefore its own instance of SqlMembershipProvider? So, every thread that tried to set Membership.ApplicationName for a given SqlMembershipProvider instance would be trying to set it to the same thing (the provider that is appropriate for that hostname).
i have implemented asp. net membership authentication and one of my users has forgotten his password.
The passwords are hashed and when i try retrieveing his password i get the error that password retrieval is not available for hashed passwords.
Should i reset the password?
I am working on membership concepts in asp.net. Now i want to reset new password and getpassword for specific user.
this is my web.config code:
<add name="MySqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="SQL2005DB380ConnectionString" applicationName="MyAppName" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Encrypted" enablePasswordReset="true" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1"
passwordAttemptWindow="10" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
How can I get old password and reset new password.
1. I want to use membership functionality without username/password
instead I want to use this functionality based on tracked IP's. Is it possible
Is it a good idea? I want to use my application on all famous mobile platforms and desktops mac/win
2. Is it hard (or is it good idea) to have user info stored into database for specific amount of time based on IP instead of persistent cookies? (I mean user can close browser, etc. Usually this time will be 1 hour)
