How To Display Infomation Onto The Application About The User Account
Mar 16, 2010
I have a website that has a login (Like most websites xD) This then obviosly fetches information from a database and loads it on the page. (EG. Welcome "Display Name")
I have designed and coded a application for my site you can use the features from my web on your desktop, I have added a login (required to use the application) and a register. Both login and register work (Fetching information from the database and writing to the database).
Now I have those out of the way I'm now onto the main part of my program which is to display infomation onto the application about the user account. This could include editing the user account, uploading content to the website or viewing content from the website.. (Sorry but I'd like to explain how I have certain things to get the point across clearly )
Anyway how would I create a sort of session? Like PHP, once you login you can grab information from the database based on the information submitted from the login which was fetched from the database.. When the user presses login on my application it brings them to the main part of the application but I'm now unsure how to load variables and/or session data.
(Side note, I have also sha encryption on my website in the register/login, at the moment VB reads the information from the textbox as normal text is there anyway I can get it to read the sha encryption? and also insert data into the database with this encryption?) - This question is optional.
I am logged in as the administrator when I installed an application named pdflatex.exe on my server. This application works as a converter from LaTeX input file to Pdf file. I host an Asp.net MVC 3 application running under an Application Pool Identity with Load User Profile = True. The Asp.net MVC 3 code contains a code that executes pdflatex.exe using System.Diagnostic.Process instance as follows:
Process p = new Process(); p.EnableRaisingEvents = true; p.Exited += new EventHandler(p_Exited); p.StartInfo.Arguments = "-interaction=nonstopmode " + inputpath; p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:mydomain.comworking"; p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.FileName = "pdflatex.exe"; p.Start(); p.WaitForExit();
From the scenario above, the web application runs under a restricted acount but it executes an external application under a default account that I don't know. Can an application running under a less privileged account start a process executing another application under an administrative account?
I have an application which is installed on local pc and is using SQL db. It is a client management system where I want to add capability to register new clients and give them access to my web site which is sharing the same SQL database with local application.
At the moment clients can register on the web site and I have ASP.NET authorisation system set up with aspnetdb_user, aspnetdb_membership and etc tables. But sometimes it happens that I need to register clients on my local application on PC and ideally would like that registration to create online account for the client as well. Then I want to be able to send him user id and password by email and let him know that he has been registered in my database and online account is ready for him as well.
Basically I want to have full synchronization between asp.net membership service and local application through SQL db. As I said both online and local apps are shareing the same SQL database. what would be the best practice to implement it.
I am looking at how best to prevent a single user account logging on multiple times in a webforms application. I know that MembershipUser.IsOnline exists, but I've read a few forum and blog entries suggesting that this can be unreliable, particularly in scenarios where a user closes a browser (without logging out) and attempts to logon with a different machine or browser.I looked at implementing a last past the post type system; when a user logs on older users are simply kicked off. It seems that FormsAuthentication.Signout() only works for the current user.
Do I just need to make a field for account type in my user account table? In a technical way, if(account type = admin) then the account would log as admin; otherwise, a user with less privileges.
I currently work on a timesheet portal. One of the features is that as employees are submitting requests an email is sent out to the supervisor that lets the supervisor see that they have a request to approve. In this email is a link to the request that the supervisor can click on to take them to the link.Currently it looks like this.
the way it was written is that with the information that is given a user could manipulate the system to allow them to approve one of their own requests as their supervisor. While this has yet to happen, I want to prevent this from happening. Is there a way to create the link without giving away all the information? When you login currently the system keeps all the info in a session. But when you try and follow the link the system would take you to the request page as an employee, when it should be supervisor. This confuses the user and they logout and back in going through the menus to get to the requests and in the right state.At this point I would rather just have them goto the main menu, but that does not seem to be an option that everyone can be happy with. What other options could we try?
I facing a problem here. how can I make the create user wizard category all the new user become normal user role? I have created 2 role which is Manager and Normal User. Normal User can't view the Manager page. But after i create a new user account, i can view manager and normal user page. I want to make all the new member registration will be normal user role?
I have the membership provider and the create user with tow steps, one of the steps contains a custom registration form, for each created user data will be in the database, and there is an account page shows the data that the new created user did insert during the registration process on the custom registration page,
the problem, when the user is created and logged into his account page, this account page shows only the information for the first created user, not the info on the logged in user , but the logged in user data still saved in database and not showing on his account page?
I want to check if a user in User table is found either in UserName Column or in FriendUserName Column in UserFollow table and if yes display lable found, But if no display lable notfound. This code will be excuted onse a user logs in the connection code
If culture is en-GB then string dateFormat="dd/mmyyyy"; string timeFormat="24.00 hrs";
and so on for other countries..Now how do I get these date and time format values ? What are the standards? Like which all countries use similar date/time formats and which ones don't ?ok I tried this :- DateTime myDate = new DateTime(); string us = myDate.ToString(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
string us gets value =1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
Now how do I extract "dd/mm/yyyy" and "24.00 hrs" out of this...in my Dateformat column in my Table... I want to store STRINGS such as dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy NOT dates..In my TimeFormat column in the table, the values to be stores are STRINGS too, like I need to store either "24:00hrs" or "12:00hrs"
How do I do this now ?**using ShorTimePattern returns these values as h:mm tt and HH:mm
If I want to store the values in my DB exactly as "24:00hrs" and "12:00hrs", how do I use these values..h:mm tt and HH:mm,which one is for 24 hr format and which for 12 hr format ?**I want the information about Decimal Separator and Thousand Separator too based on the CultureInfo...whats the property for that ?
If you create a new ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application and run it, you can register new users and logon. But I can not find where does those account data are put. Database? Local files? Or session?
I have just created an extra table named AccountDetails with four columns named AccNo,Balance,Transfer and UserId as foreign key to aspnet_userID primary key. I want to display users account and balance whenever the user successfully loged in.
I was wondering if a user logs in using the login controller for asp.net, how do I display the users information in a "My Account" page. Do I simply do that through C# and SQL? Is there something that gets stored when a user logins already so I can return the username anywhere in the project?
I have a web application. This application needs to perform a search on folders located on 2 different machines. I can use impersonation for this. But -
a. I don't want to use network service account b. I want to impersonate just the search part of the code. c. Specifying encrypted user name / password in web.config is one option. But this would be the last option.
Can I use a custom service account for the application pool for this? If yes, then how to impersonate a specific part of code using this?

I have used membership provider to implement my system. The system administrator can list the users. What I want to do is, administrator should be able to sign-in as the selected user. I can sign out administrator by FormsAuthentication.Signout but how can I sign in as the selected user? Passwords are hashed so I can not retrieve the passwords.
