Well, I have a website with login feature (username and password fields). . I then changed the ID and NAME attributes of the textbox. (I made sure the client Id has changed). How come? Doesn't the browser relate usernames stored in history to the ID of textbox? I'm using asp.net!
View 2 RepliesI would like my website to fetch the data for username and password from a database in SQL server and authenticate that. I have used a login control in the website.
Presently I can assign username and passwords using the 'login control' from the website administration tool.
I'm developing a basic login page in ASP.NET.The page includes an email field, a password field and a submit button.For some reason Internet Explorer doesn't offer to remember the login info, while other browsers such as Firefox & Chrome do.For other pages (Gmail, Twitter etc.) IE als offers to remember password.Please note that I am not using a username that I previously asked IE not to remember the password for. how does IE recognize a login page, and why won't it recognize mine as such?
View 1 RepliesMy issue today is that i have a MySQL Database and am using the security framework provided by the ASP.NET Membership and Role Providers...I override the default methods with my own MySQL.
Now the issue comes in when i someone would like to have their password reset. My application is running entirely on an Intranet so i cannot have their passwords emailed to them. Is there a way i can have this information displayed in any way so that the user can use it to Log Reset, Create Accounts or Recover their lost passwords on an intranet without the administrators intervention?
Recently i had an approach as follows. In my web.config<system.net><mailSettings><smtp deliveryMethod="pickupDirectoryLocation" and my location was a folder on C drive as c:/SavedPasswords. Now i understand this was such a big security threat and thats why i am looking for a better option.
I would have that folder created using my System.IO and then the Mail is dropped into that folder. Then after the process is successful, i tell the user to check into that location and Read its content.
Then there is a global variable that is set to true...meaning that the folder at c:/ has been created. then there is a Method in a certain class that once it sees this variable True, it reads the readers c:/ and deletes that folder "save" if it exists;
I have a small database, with a very small number of users. The passwords were stored as clear as the database was so small and held no sensitive data. The database is now to be expanded and passwords are required to be encrypted. I can change the Password Format in the web.config, but is there a way to change the existing passwords from clear to encrypted?

When I try to go into localhost in IE it works fine but in Firefox it asks me to enter user name and password.
In my IIS configuration I have ticked to use Anonymoous access under Authentication.
Over the past two weeks or so, I've been getting feedback from users on my site that a popup box is interferring with their use of my search page. From the research I've done, it appears only Firefox users are having this problem. I haven't changed my site, so I can't figure out why this is happening. Has anyone successfully corrected this problem. It's costing me traffic, so I have to figure this out. My site is based on the classified starterkit.
View 4 RepliesI've recently enabled Digest Authentication on an intranet website/application I am creating for my company in ASP.NET.
The reason I have done so is because Windows Authentication seemed to only work for some users, and not for others. I could not figure out why nor do I know enough about IIS to try and trace the issue. After some trial and error, I found that digest authentication seemed to give me the behaviour that I wanted. That is: allow only users with a valid account on the domain to log in to the website with their credentials.
The problem now, is that Firefox (3+) seems to ask for the user to authenticate on every HTTP request sent to the server. This does not appear to occur in Internet Explorer (6+) or Chrome.
I've tried searching for solutions but I always arrive at dead-ends. I'll find a discussion about the issue, and every posted solution leads to a dead link...or it's on Experts Exchange and I don't have access to view to solution.
The issue appears to be related (from what I've read) to the way the different browsers send their authentication headers vs how IIS interprets them. I'm not sure what I can do to change this though? One of the solutions I had found mentioned writing an ISAPI filter to fix this, but of course the link to the finished filter was broken and I have no idea how to go about making one myself.
I've tried messing with the NTLM and other auth related strings in about:config to try and force Firefox to trust my server but that doesn't seem to work either.
From a few other sources I've read, it appears that everything should work if I switch back to Windows Authentication, but then I'm back at square one where the authentication would work only for some users and not others.
A solution for either problem would work for me, but I have very little information for the Windows Authentication issue. If someone could guide me through tracing the problem I'd gladly post more information for it as well.

I've got a form that inserts data into a database using ASP.NET 2.0 . The problem is that when I hit the submit button on FireFox, the page submits and I'm redirected to the correct page. The problem is that the data isn't actually saved.When I try this on IE, it works fine. When I try this on FireFox using another browser it works fine. When I mirrored the application and data locally and use FireFox, it works fine.
It just doesn't work on production, and it seems like only my FireFox is having this problem. I've cleared out the cache in FireFox already, but it still doesn't work.Any ideas what is going on? I can't tell if this is client side or server side, and there is no way to debug right now.

it possible to use an application event to save the username in a session variable? I would like to do something like this:

OK, here's my scenario. I inherited a website and I'm dealing with a quirk. I have a page that has a repeater with auto postback controls in it. And also a hyperlink or a button to open a RadWindow to add a new item or edit an existing one, the repeater probably could have been a Gridview, but forget that for now.
If you use the button to add a new entry or the hyperlink to edit, it works fine and closes and refreshs the page. BUT, after you click ANY of the auto postback check boxes and THEN try and use the new button or edit hyperlinks the RadWindow works, but on clicking SAVE or CLOSE it throws a dialog box in IE and Firefox letting the user know that:
"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."
IE's message is similar. Clicking RESEND works fine and everything is ok, but its a bit distracting to the user. The RadWindow open a page that has THIS javascript in it:
function RefreshParentPage() {
I m very new in VS (ASP.NET) and using C# in code behind file. I want to define global variables to use in whole application. EXAMPLE

View 10 RepliesI'm trying to server an exe to Firefox from an aspx page. The aspx page handles the headers and the page is launched by our Flex GUI. Flex correctly launches the link for all browsers (including Firefox) so I'm certain that's not the issue.
The problem I'm having is when I try to download the file from within Firefox, FF downloads the file fine but it names it "Content". It has no extension and the file name is incorrect. All the other browsers download it with the file name I specified in the aspx page and they all have the .exe extension. I should note that if I rename the "Content" file to "Content.exe" it runs correctly.Below is the code I'm using in my aspx page -
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
string fileName = Request.QueryString["file"];
System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(Server.MapPath(fileName));

So I'm in the process of writing an ASP.NET application that requires to import users from a PHP application. The passwords were hashed using MD5 into the database, so the user table records looks more or less like this:
user Password
user1 827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b
user2 e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e
And so on. I have access to the PHP source code and I can see that there is no salt or anything else, it is juts a straight MD5 application. Now, Back on my ASP.NET, I tried to use MD5 using the following logic:

Problem is, that is returning strings like 50-F8-4D-AF-3A-6D-FD-6A-9F-20-C9-F8-EF-42-89-42, which of course is not going to match with the information in the database. What should I do so I don't have to reset 500+ user passwords?
found while searching for help on my asp.net application.I have a small application with connected to a SQL database. As it was so small, and contained very little data of any importance, i had set it up with Clear passwords.Now i have been asked to expand the database considerably, and encrypted passwords are now required. I can easily modify the web.config so all future users are set up with encrypted passwords. But is there any way to change all existing users passwords to be stored encrypted?
View 10 RepliesI'm using ASP.NET membership for a site that will serve primarily sophisticated users. I understand the difference between hashed and encrypted passwords, and I'm trying to decide between the two.After my last client complained bitterly about hashed passwords being a total PITA, I've started to favor encrypted passwords. But someone suggested this just isn't secure enough.So my question is: What, exactly are the risks of encrypting passwords? Any person with the ability to steal passwords by decrypting them from the database would surely have the ability to reset them if they were hashed, no? I'm having trouble seeing where someone could cause trouble with encrypted passwords but couldn't with hashed ones. Making it convenient for users is also important.
