FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl Always Returns The Default?
Nov 22, 2010
I have an ASP.NET MVC app and am using Forms auth. When going to a page that requires authentication, meaning there is an [Authorize] attribute on the controller action, it redirects the user to the login page with a return url like http://localhost/Login?ReturnUrl=/MyAuthorizedUrl.
This is how my config is setup:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Login" timeout="2880" defaultUrl="~/" />
</authentication>
This is how I'm getting the redirect url:
var url = FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl( model.Email, model.RememberMe );
This always returns the default url.

I have configured Forms Authentication in my web config file as below.
Following is my code
[Code]....
The issue is that FormsAuthentication.Authenticate never returns true. This is a very simple website with only two pages and no other code(The code too was copied from MSDN).

I'm trying to encrypt some userData to create my own custom IPrincipal and IIdentity objects using Forms authentication - I've serialized an object representing my logged in user to Json and created my FormsAuthentication ticket like so:
string user_item = GetJsonOfLoggedinUser();/*get JSON representation of my logged in user*/
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket =
new System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
WAM.Utilities.SessionHelper.LoggedInEmployee.F_NAME + " "
+ WAM.Utilities.SessionHelper.LoggedInEmployee.L_NAME,
DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), false, user_item);
string encrypted_ticket = System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
HttpCookie auth_cookie =
new HttpCookie(System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encrypted_ticket);
Response.Cookies.Add(auth_cookie);
However, the string encrypted_ticket is always null. Is there a limit on the length of the user_item string?

I know this post is the same than other around but I can't get it to work the way I want, the thing is that the Login.aspx page have it in a folder not in the root of the directory, also the page that I want to redirect the user to is in the same folder, so far I got this in my web.config file
[Code]....
All pages contained in the Admin folder want it to be protected, the administrator needs to authenticate first, so my question is what I am doing wrong? need to take the Login.aspx and the admin.aspx out of the admin folder?

When I navigate to [URL] (the default page for the directory) it displays it without logging in (as I want). But when going to [URL] FormsAuthentication redirects to [URL] to login. There isn't a way to set the path for just "/" in the web.config, I get an error. This only happens on my ISP (hosted Windows 2003), I can't reproduce this issue locally on my test 2003 boxes.

What is the difference between:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage
AND
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Text_txtUserName.Text, true);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(RedirectFromLoginAddress);

Can I assign a value to a variable (int) and never lose this value inside any scope? the problem is I am assigning the value to the variable in some scopes but the variable returns to its default value (zero) in other scopes..
protected void Button_AddNewCourse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ID = 10;
}
so when I am trying to use ID in other functions it falls back to zero
protected void AnotherFunction(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Variable ID here is zero
}

Is this a security issue or by design?string UID = "randomusername" // does not exists in aspnet_Users table
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UID, false);Authenticates users, redirects to login page.Profile Page is set to chech User.Identity.IsAuthenticated etc...when they update the profile, it ads the user to the aspnet_users table automatically, which is not what I want.

When i tried to implement form authentication in various subfolders i am getting an error as follows: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 have a login page that is set to the loginUrl property in the authentication section of my web.config file. I am trying to reference a CSS stylesheet, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Here is my markup:

I am able to do this just fine on my other page. One thing I noticed was when I click on "View Source" and try to click the link to the stylesheet, it doesn't take me there, and instead changes the "action" property of the form element to this:

After browsing the MVC section on CodePlex I noticed that the [Authorize] attribute in MVC returns a HttpUnauthorizedResult() when authorization fails (codeplex AuthorizeAttribute class). In the source of HttpUnauthorizedResult() from CodePlex is the code (I'm not allowed to enter another URL as my rep isn't high enough, but replace the numbers on the URL above with 22929#266476):
// 401 is the HTTP status code for unauthorized access - setting this
// will cause the active authentication module to execute its default
// unauthorized handler context.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 401;
In particular, the comment describes the authentication module's default unauthorized handler. I can't seem to find any information on this default unauthorized handler. In particular, I'm not using ormsAuthentication and when authorization fails I get an ugly IIS 401 error page. Does anyone know about this default unauthorized handler, and in particular how FormsAuthentication hooks itself in to override it? I'm writing a really simple app for my football team who confirm or deny whether they can play a particular match. If I enable FormsAuthentication in the web.config the redirect works, but I'm not using FormsAuthentication and I'd like to know if there's a workaround.

Just a quick question i've been asked to look at enhancing security but encrypting passwords we store in a db table, essentially the data thats linked to the user account isnt sensitive however its more to stop someone reading passwords out of the table directly etc
I've read multiple ways of implimenting hashing etc i've started using FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile
//create new salt and update the password
Hashtable newInfo = new Hashtable();
newInfo["salt"] = GenerateFriendlyPassword(5);
string tmppass = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(txtNewPass1.Text.ToString() + newInfo["salt"].ToString(), "SHA1");
newInfo["passwordHash"] = tmppass;
Generate friendly password returns a 5 char string based on a random position in a valid char array containing a - z and 0 - 9At present the functionality is at page level in the code behind, re this is the forms authentication HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile function thread safe? Or do i need to look at implimenting this in a different wayCheers appreciate your response as im always jubious about multi threading etc,

I reach my login page with the parameter "returnUrl" set to the URL I was on. Then, I login via OpenID (DotNetOpenAuth), and call FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(). The login is successful, however I am not returned to the original page I was on.
I'm having the same problem on logout - when I log out I don't remain on the same page, even though the logout link contains the correct "returnUrl" parameter.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the code snippet. I am returning EmptyResult() after the call to RedirectFromLoginPage, because I don't really know what to do (see this related question)

Is it OK to call FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage many times?
On login page we test if user is already logged in, and if it is we just redirect him to default page with FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage...
Question is if user sets a script that loads login page 10'000 times, would calling the FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage that many times make problems?

So, I've implemented my IPrincipal.IsInRole(...) and I'm using FormsAuthentication like so:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" name="someName" timeout="600"/>
</authentication>
Then I have a page that requires you to be authenticated and that you have "roleA". This is configured like so:
<location path="SomePage.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>[code]...
Now, I login to my web application, but with a user that does NOT have roleA. When I visit SomePage.aspx I get redirected to Login.aspx, the url specified in loginUrl of the forms element. So, my question is shouldn't I be able be specify an authorization denied message or url? If the user is authenticated, but not authorized why would I want to redirect to the login page. It's confusing as hell to the user.

I am having some trouble with active directory authentication using FormsAuthentication in ASP.NET MVC 2 (VS 2010).
As I understand it I should be able to step into/through the Microsoft source code for FormsAuthentication.Authenticate if I check 'Enable source server support' and 'Enable .Net Framework source stepping' in Options->Debug->General and specify 'Microsoft Symbol Servers' in Options->Debug->Symbols.
I have done this and can step into a whole bunch of MS source code, but not FormsAuthentication.Authenticate. The debugger simple steps over it.
If I could step into FormsAuthentication.Authenticate it would make my life a whole lot easier.

I am experiencing a strange problem with asp.net forms authentication. This problem only occurs for 3 users out of 30+ users that have successfully logged in. I am using very basic auth code that I have used many times and have never seen this problem. After the users successfully authenticates and the auth cookie is created, cookie added, and response.redirect to FormsAuthentication.GetRedirect(userid, false) is called. The Application_AuthenticateRequest method in Global.asax is hit.
// Extract the forms authentication cookie
tring cookieName = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName;
HttpCookie authCookie = Context.Request.Cookies[cookieName];
if (null == authCookie)
{
// There is no authentication cookie.
return;
}
So immediately after a "good" cookie is saved and the redirect occurs the cookie is null. I have run the code through the debugger and the cookie is only null on these 3 users. But the cookie looks the same as the cookie for the many users that login successfully.

I have a project containing an image, css and js folder. I want to make sure no css, image or js is blocked when using formsauthentication.
I know you can do this with the locationtag in the web.config but I was wondering if you could do this otherweise?
this is how I do it right now:
<location path="css">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="images">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I'm using asp.net (c#) with iis 7.0.
