Web pages are, by nature, state-less objects. When you click from page to page in an ASP.net application, each request for a page is treated as a brand-new request. We use things like cookies, session-variables, and query strings to maintain state from page to page.
When you log in to an ASP.net web application using Windows Authentication, how does IIS persist your identity between pages?
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) %>
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'm trying to access User.Identity from my master page so I can figure out which user is logged in, however I can't get it to work. If I import System.Security.Principal in my master page it makes no difference:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Security.Principal" %>
I can access it fine if I try within a Controller.
In IIS 7.5 server I have a website apps.mydomain.com. Site binding for this website is:
IP: All Unassigned
Port: 80
Host name: apps.mydomain.com
In DNS there is an ip address pointing to apps.mydomain.com. Site comes up fine when browsing to this hostname.
I want to get current windows logged in username from asp.net web apps. I enabled windows authentication and disabled anonymous. Using this ASP.Net code to test:
Response.Write(Page.User.Identity.Name);
However, browsing to http://apps.mydomain.com/site/ the application pool identity shows as the Page.User.Identity.Name value and not the current windows logged in username.
If I browse to http://servername/site/ then Page.User.Identity.Name will return current windows logged in username.
Is there something else I need to configure to get the current windows logged in username when using host header?
web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
App pool config (left out "handlers" for brevity, there's a 30000 char limit):

When I use a Master Page with a Content Page, in the Content Page script I find that User object is defined, with Identity and IsInRole properties. However, when I enter script on the Master Page itself User comes up as "not declared".
I am guessing that User is embedded in some namespace that is automatically imported to Content pages, but haven't been able to track it down.
I have an aspx page which displays a user's details in a Label. It takes their User.Identity.Name and queries Active Directory using the following code:
[Code]....
In this code Page.User.Identity.Name is null
[Code]....
I thought the Name always was set when user was Authenticated?
If this is not the case, how should I do instead?
What are the differences (behind the scenes) between Page.User.Identity and Request.LogonUserIdentity? Not the differences in type, name, etc but the differences in how they're implemented behind the scenes (i.e. one calls windows xxx api and the other calls asp.net xxx api...).
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best sequence order for Page.IsPostBack and User.Identity.IsAuthenticated? From what I have search for, this comes up most common:
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
If User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
~Some kind of code~
End If
End If
Is this considered "best practice" or can the two items - Page.IsPostBack and User.Identity.IsAuthenticated -be split into their own sections so the fuctions of these can be independent of each other?I am trying to troubleshoot a placeholder that disappears from a master page when a content page button is pressed to change the content pages active view (I have a multiview w/ 5 views inside of it).
I have a FormView and the SELECT statement I have is as follows:
SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [Full_Name_1], [Full_Name_2], [Email], [Address], [City], [State], [Zip_Code], [Home_Phone], [Cell_Phone] FROM [Homeowners] WHERE ([UserName]='<%$ User.Identity.Name %>')"... but it results in the FormView disappearing from the web page. Note: at the top of the page,
<%= user.identity.name %> displays the name fine, so user.identity.name does contain the info I'm looking for.I am trying to figure out how to correctly format the SELECT filter to feed user.identity.name to the SELECT statement as a filter. ... or if there is an alternative way.
i have Using aspnetmembership

In IIS Manager center pane, there is an icon titled "Authentication" as follows: Clicking the icon, we get 3 items as follows: Right clicking the Anonymous Authentication and select edit, we have: Question: which one should I use? What is the difference?
View 3 RepliesI have this web application where I need the currently logged in windows user Identity. I server on which I deployed this application does not support virtual directories. And I am not sure if that server is configured for "Integrated Windows Authentication."
I tried using:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"];
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
All these work and retrieve the appropriate currently logged in windows username when the application isn't deployed. But when I deploy it on this particular server, these methods do not give me nothing.
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;
}
I need a way to save and load the Page State in a persistent manner (Session). The Project i need this for is an Intranet Web Application which has several Configuration Pages and some of them need a Confirmation if they are about to be saved. The Confirmation Page has to be a seperate Page. The use of JavaScript is not possible due to limitations i am bound to. This is what i could come up with so far:
[code]....
I can't seem to find a way to load the Page State after being redirected from the Confirmation.aspx to the PageToConfirm.aspx.
I have a nested master page with radio button controls and one or two dropdowns (depending on the radio button chosen). The dropdown(s) contains either carriers or our customers. If the dropdown type is customer, we display another dropdown to determine what type of customer (current, former, or test). Once a carrier or customer is chosen, an action is called to "set" the customer information in the session. This all works great. The problem is trying to persist the dropdown type, customer type, and customer or carrier chosen over each action/view. Once a customer or carrier is set, the user can chose different menu options (also on the master page) to perform different tasks against the customer or carrier data. I am still fairly new to asp.net mvc and to jquery and ajax. I have racked my brain and tried several different scenarios to get this to work. I tried a master view model which got inherited by the other view models. I couldn't get that to work. Now I am trying a base controller and just setting things in viewdata, but I still can't get it to work once I move to next controller/action/view. Can someone please let me know the best practice for doing this? And or tell me where I'm going wrong? I am at a pretty critical point in this project and am running out of time. The code follows:
Global.asax:
[Code]....
Site.Master:

in Telerik ASP.NET MVC TabStrip, I want the page to remember which tab was selected last and persist the selection through multiple page requests.
What I have is a partial view that shows in multiple pages and it contains the TabStrip. With SelectedIndex the set tab always get selected, which nullifies user's selection.
I have an object to hold some specific state information in my web application - I pass it back & forward between pages by making it a property of a basepage which works fine, but I lose it on postback.
Is there any way to persist this property without manually adding & reading it again from viewstate?
I want to share a common page load and page init events sequence between Master page and child page and User Control as described below:
Let us have the following components:-
1. TestMaster.master -> It is the master page
2. TestChild.aspx -> It is the Child page
3. TestUserContrl.ascx -> It is the UserControl present within the TestMaster.master page.

View 11 RepliesI've to fix an old ASP.NET application's appearance so that it can conform to the new web visual identity of my organization. The old application does not have any master page and uses a very basic .include file. Modifying the .include header does not change the overall look of the app's pages much, and I still have to manually import new css definitions, replace the table tags with divs on the 60 odd .aspx pages.How should I proceed? I have long term maintainability in mind, so a master page is the obvious solution.
