I am using the System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService for Form Based Authentication.
The authenication is done by .LoginAsync based on the user roles got by .GetRolesForCurrentUserAsync.
How to query the database to get a list of all users in the system? I need the list to populate a combobox so the users can pick a contact within the system to connect to instead of simply typing the names and hoping for no typos.
I'm using SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRoleProvider for user management.
Users are created by
Dim MCS As System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus
Dim NewUser
As MembershipUser = Membership.CreateUser(TB_UserName.Text, TB_Pw.Text, TB_Email.Text, TB_SecQuestion.Text, TB_SecAnswer.Text,
False, MCS)
later, after email confirmation, I take the user into a specified role
Dim myUser As System.Web.Security.MembershipUser = Nothing
myUser = Membership.GetUser(New Guid(Request("RegID")))Catch
If myUser
IsNot
Nothing
Then
myUser.Comment += " approved "
Membership.UpdateUser(myUser)
Roles.AddUserToRole(myUser.UserName, "role")
End if
After this I have two entries with the same UserName in aspnet_Users table, but with different UserId's. One UserId is referenced in aspnet_Membership table and the other in the aspnet_UsersInRoles table.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
I am learning asp.net web development. I have create a table with the column "username". But i don't know how to prevent the Duplicate "username".
View 5 RepliesWe are buling a hosted ecommerce shopping cart solution and I would like to use asp.net's built-in membership provider. We dont really want to have a seperate database for each domain, we want to share the same database across mupltiple domains for different customers. Each domain is a seperate store.
My problem is that since it's a shared hosted solution people coming from different domains might use the same user name and it would show as if already existed. Is there an addional field I can use to store the domain name so basicly would be unique by username and domain name. We don't want to share information between stores.
I'm trying to find out how i store user names and passwords in the web.config file. I have tried looking for documentation on this but haven't found any so far.
I see in the class library it says that the Authenticate method of the FormsAuthentication class is for use in authenticating credentials against those stored in the config file, but i don't know how to store them there to begin with. I want to store two username:password pairs in the web.config file preferably encrypted.
one of these username:password pairs i want to be hard coded. The other i want to be able to be reset with a password reset form which I will code later. I guess there maybe a method for creating a sername:password entry in the web.config which could be used with my password reset form if such a method exists. But I need to know how to hand code the username:password entries into the web.config file to begin with and to beable to create the hard coded pair.
code I need to add to my web.config file i need to add and in what section?
also can you point me in the direction of a method used for creating username:password entries in web.config
How to get that how many pages accesses by a user in a website.
Actually, rather then putting code in each page I want some generalized method/technique that if user Logged to a website and during his Login period what was his activity and which page(s) he accesed.
Note:
1. My website pages are under MasterPage.
2. MasterPage has a MasterMenu.
3. For singlePage activity I used Page.GetType.Name
I'm using a windwos authentication via intranet. I'm able to display the username in a label control on a page load event (which is very simple).
I'm not storing this data anywhere in the table (MS SQL). I have all my data in a table and I'm using a gridview to diplay them. I'm using a button control to update all the rows in the gridview. I wanted to update three columns in the gridview (1. Tickbox, 2.Datetime Stamp and 3.UserId).
I've created a query in the dataset, through which i can update the Tickbox and DateTime stamp using now() function. But I'm not sure how to update the UserID field with the UserName (which inturn updates all the three fields in the gridview when the button is pressed.
I recently read Scott Mitchell's article series "Examining ASP.NET's Membership, Roles, and Profile". In Part [URL], It says "to store additional, user-specific fields...If you are using the SqlMembershipProvider, this would mean creating an additional database table that had as a primary key the UserId value from the aspnet_Users table and columns for each of the additional user properties."I created a table named Thread to store some specific users information and comments they make. I set the ThreadId as the primary key and the UserId as the foreign key to the UserId in aspnet_Users table. But when I run the application and use a user's account to submit a comment, there is an error in my Comments.aspx.vb page "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'UserId', table 'ASPNETDB.dbo.Thread'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.The statement has been terminated."How can I make the logged-on user's UserId inserted into the Thread table when storing the user's other data information?
View 2 RepliesI created a project using asp.net in visual studio 2008. In my login database table aspnet_users I noticed under the column UserName there is some usernames that I didn't create such as '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1' All my usernames are less than 8 characters that are generated by users. How and why was the username '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1' created? When I query the database table aspnet_users to approve a new user I am not interested in usernames such as '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1'. How do I avoid them in my query?c = squareroot(e/m)
View 3 RepliesI am wondering if the aspnet_Users table is always sorted (by UserName) even if I add new users which are alphabetically between two already existing users.
I've noticed that the method Membership.GetAllUsers() always seems to return a sorted collection of MembershipUsers.
Also when I look into SQL Server Management Studio and run a simple SQL query without ORDERBY clause...
SELECT [UserName]
FROM [MyDb].[dbo].[aspnet_Users]
...I get always a sorted result list.
I'm still very unfamiliar with SQL Server but I expected that when I add a new row to a table it is (physically) appended to the end of the table. And when I run a select statement without ORDERBY the rows will be selected in the order they were initially inserted into the database (so without any specific sort order).
I am wrong I guess. But how does it really work? Is it perhaps something special with the aspnet_Users table?
I am happy that the MemberShipUserCollection returned by GetAllUsers() is sorted but is it always guaranteed?
Update
I've just noticed that the database contains a stored procedure called aspnet_Membership_GetAllUsers. This procedure actually contains an ORDER BY clause by UserName. So if this stored procedure is indeed always called when I use Membership.GetAllUsers() in my code (at least if I am using the SqlMembershipProvider) it explains why the collection returned by Membership.GetAllUsers() is sorted by UserName.
Remains the question: Is Membership.GetAllUsers() actually based on this stored procedure?
I want to know that is that the value of last activity date in aspnet_users table is changed when user is logoff from the application.
View 3 RepliesI'm working with 2 sites (Intranet and Extranet) that share the same .net membership database (the standard out of the box version). The Intranet and Extranet site users are stored in separate "Applications" within the membership database. I create all users for both sites from within the intranet site. Everything seems to be working except that when i create a user for the extranet site I end up with 2 rows for that user in aspnet_users. One with userID (guid) that I send in and another with a different guid. I'm assusming that .net is creating an anonymous user. The intranet membership provider is the default.
I could delete this row through sql but am hoping for a more elegant solution. Any suggestions?

i am using aspnetdb database and i am using createuserwizard control and i have found that i am able to create user account with same username. as far as i know i think usernames are stored uniquly but i can't figured it out why i am able to create user account with duplicate user names.
View 6 RepliesI have a .net user sign up page that adds the users to the aspNet_Users table but also adds the users to a seperate tblVendors table with additional data gathered at sign up.The question is... how do I add the users in the tblVenders table to the aspNet_UsersToRoles
table to put them in the vendors Role?I'm using a gridView to show all the users in the tblVendors table and when a checkbox in the gridView is checked the button1 click event will fire for code behind vb code.
I'm not real sure how to do this.I've tried several solutions to no avail. I actually get errors about converting strings to guid field because of the uniqueidentifier field in the aspnet tables.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps this is a simpler VS9 question, but I want to link a SQLServer table with additional user data to the standard SQLServer membership table using the GUID userID as a foreign key. I go into design mode of my table, right-click on relationships, and click add in the dialog. but the left hand column shows me only the tables in my database. How do I get it to show the tables in the ASPNETDB.MDF database? I went through the tutorial (http://www.asp.net/learn/security/tutorial-08-cs.aspx), but it seems to magically appear in there without explanation.

View 3 RepliesIf I am going to use the asp.net membership and roles, the asp.net database includes an aspnet_Users table that has the userid and email address. If I have custom fields is it best practice to maintain a separate usert table and link on user id or to add fields to the aspnet_Users table?
