Configuration :: 2.0 Database Authentication - OS Authentication?
Jun 29, 2010
The webapp I am trying to deploy will have the IIS running on the same server as database.I have been assigned a domain account and have been asked to connect to the database using this account.I am not sure how to go about making the connection. I cannot enable impersonation as I need to mention the username and password and it will be security concern, also I need to give write permission onC:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files (which is not allowed)The Webserver and SQL server runs with system account.Can you please let me know how to establish connectivity to the server using the domain account without mentioning the password anywhere.
I have a database which has form authentication tables for an website [let say website A], now I have attached a new website [Website B] to the same database, in this website [Website B] also I have to provide login/authentication which would be separate from the website A authentication system. So I want to have separate table for the users of new website. Specification:
[code]....
will there be any open source membership provider like we have .NET membership provider [form authentication].
Just going to start making a web application and was wondering which was better, or at least what are the main differences between them (as it probably matters what I am using them for)?
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I selected windows mode authentication. I am not able to login in management studion. Now, I want to use mixed and server authentication option inplace of windows authentication. so, would that be possible after installation.
This could be very straight forward for some of you, but I got caught up. I am doing very simple test - browsing from IIS Manager to see the default page or "under Construction", however I am being challenged to provide my login credential . When I provide my login credential, I am able to see the default page. I wanted to see the default page without providing my credential since Enable anoymous access + basic authentication I am simply wanted to see the default page asit is working on other servers except this one. I have included screen print to make sure may question is clear.
I set authentication mode to Windows in the web.config and I enable Windows Authentication and disable the Anonymous Authentication in IIS 7 on win 7, but HttpContext.Current.User is always null.It works fine when I host the web app in IIS 6.0.
'm using the AutoCompleteExtender from the AJAX control toolkit on my aspx page - I have it wired up to a WCF service that is returning a string array and everything works happily.
If I change my service definition to include a demand for the caller to be authenticated, like so:
<OperationContract(), PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Authenticated:=True)> _Public Function GetLookupValues(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer, ByVal contextKey As String) As String()
Then the autocomplete extender stops working, and I get an authentication error in the service. The service is set up to use ASPNetCompatibility mode, and I was hoping that the extender would pass the authentication credentials for my logged in user - does anyone know how to make this work?
I have a web farm web project, and want to make sure windows authentication is working well without any problem in web farm, can any one give me some web sites or information about that?
I needed information regarding the capabilities & integration of AzMan tool with Asp.net.Currently, I got a Sharepoint 2007 website along with ASP.NET 2008 where I am using Form Based Authenication.Now, the requirement is any user within a domain registered in AD should be able to login in website through intranet.
Can I acheive this using AzMan, or I need to create two websites one with FBA for internet users and the other one for the intranet users with AD authenication. Also my intenet website is deployed and in use where usermapping and roles are already created, so using this tool what will be the impact on existing webiste.
I have a web application (intranet based) which uses Windows Authentication. Unfortunately there are public computers that have public logins at some company locations. My web app doesn't support these public logins because I need to know the user workingSo, even though these public users are windows authentication users, my app will fail because I have no user account setup for that particular account. I want to then try Active Directory Authentication.In my Default.aspx.cs I'd have something like this
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {try userContext = new UserContext(); // If the authenticated user isn't a user in my system then throw an exception } [code]...
I have developed the authenticated rss feed using the basic http authentication for my site.I also have the admin module for the site which uses the Asp.net Forms Authentication .Both are in the same project.When i turn on the forms authentication module to None in my web.config.My rss feed authentication works fine(the browser pop up the dialog box for the username and password) and upon entering the username and password the rss feed gets displayed.But with forms authentication turn on when i click the rss feed link i am getting redirected to the administrator login page.
If i set my authentication mode to none than the feed works like dream but the admin module do not work as it uses forms authentication.
How can i resolve the conflict for that one.I am using the asp.net mvc filter on my feed contoller to pop up the dialog box for the username and password.
I've been asked to convert an asp.net application from forms authentication with roles using the aspnetdb database to use windows authentication instead.
what is required to do this? can I still use the roles defined in the app and stored in aspnetdb?
I have an (ASP.NET 3.5) intranet application which has been designed to use forms authentication (along with the default aspnet membership system). I also store additional information about users in another table which shares its primary key with the aspnet_users table.
For users who are part of our domain I store their domain account name in the secondary users table, and I want to automatically log in users whose domain account name matches a name stored in the table.
I have read the guides which are available - they're all from two years ago or more and assume that you are able to activate Windows Authentication on a separate login page that allows you to extract the domain account name. From what I can tell, though, this is not possible in IIS7 (the overall authentication method is applied on all pages and cannot be selectively deactivated, and both authentication methods can't be applied on the same page).
Is there a way of getting IIS to pass through the windows domain account name of the requesting user? I don't need proper AD authentication, just the domain name.
I'm developing an internal booking sytem. Users log in to the sytem and can view existing bookings and search for bookings. They can also create new or edit existing bookings. When completing such actions I need a confirmation prior to completing the booking or updating the recorded. The confirmation is based on a reauthentication of the user.... in otherwords he needs to enter his passord again.
How can I achieve this? The system is internam and I'm using Forms Authentication. I an also using roles as som of the admin forms can only be viewed by administrators.
I have created a website which worked fine on my machine. When I try to access it from other machine, I get a message "Page can't be displayed".I have disabled Anonymous access and checked IntegratedWindown Authentication in IIS. I have set Autentication mode as Windows in the web.config file.My requirement is to show the widows id on the asp.net pages. I get the id fromSystem.Web.HttpContext.Current.UserIs there any settings which needs to be set.
Why do I get a different address from the one defined in web.config?
UPDATE: The "/VNK/site/" prefix is not a problem here. The problem is that LoginUrl property of FormsAuthentication class does not reflect the value from web.config. It means that if I change in web.config loginUrl from "~/Account/LogOn" for example to "~/foobar", FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl still has value of "/VNK/site/Account/Login". Why ?
I'm having two web.config files, one in my root directory(where all web pages of a project are found) and other in admin directory(that is located in root directory). But whenever I try to write [Code].... tag in web.cofig file that is in admin directory, I face the following error on building my project
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I set these setting below at the Web.config of my site And it still return me to the loginpage after about 20 mins I checked the Properties of the site at IIS and the time out is 660 However at the properties of the defaultWeb it's not 660 since it will influence all the sites and that I don't want
I am having difficulty getting an asp.net web application to run on a new server. This same app has been deployed to at least a dozen other servers without issue. The x-factor seems to be that Sharepoint Services (WSS 2.0) is present on the new machine.
The app is configured to use Forms Authentication with a redirect to a specified login page, the first symptom is that no attempt is apparently made to redirect new requests, requests proceed directly and then error out when that page attempts to look at the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.
Second, when navigating directly to the Login.aspx page, the login and authentication check appear to proceed normally, but again HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name is blank where is should now have the users login name, and an application error occurs. I have confirmed that the same code on other servers behaves as expected (the Name is set at this point). IIS virtual directory settings are identical as well.
It would seem that something is interfereing with the normal Forms Authentication processes and that something appears to be Sharepoint. We have already listed the web app's path as excluded in the Sharepoint Admin section. Is there something else that needs to be done?
