How To Globalise The Forms Authentication LonginUrl For Multiple Languages
Jul 9, 2010
Currently my ASP.Net MVC website uses forms authentication is set up like this my web.config:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="en/User/Signin" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
We have some routing rules that use the prefix /en/ in the url as a identifier for the language, but the problem is that if someone is visiting our french site [URL], they are redirect to [URL], which in turn sets the culture to english. So after logging in, users may need to change there language back to french.
So if the website need to suppurt more languages, so I need to do something like this in the web config:
[code]....
I know you can not have code in the web.config, but this is just to illustrate what I am trying to achieve. Could anyone provide a simple solution, or links to solutions they may already use?

We are developing products that will be used in the following way:
Various shared libraries which may be used by multiple products. I anticipate these libraries will mostly need to access string resources that contain error messages/exceptions. Various end-user based applications, designed to run as standalone apps on a PC. They will be required to support multiple languages upon deployment/installation.
Various web-sites which may be required to support multiple languages either at deployment time or possibly at runtime (i.e. minimal or zero downtime). Potentially the site might need to support multiple languages at the same time if being accessed globally.
We may be required to allow customers access to our language files for editing themselves. We would not wish to allow them access to our source code (other than the resource files/dlls) in order to achieve this. We might need to incorporate a facility to log exceptions in our native language (English in this case) and display them in the translated language. This will us debug our customers solutions in the field.
I am already aware of products like RCWinTrans and handling multiple languages in VC++/MFC applications. However, the requirements we are faced with here are more extensive and thus require us to make a few up front decisions that could be difficult to change long term, so ideally we want to make the best choice now. Based on my own knowledge, I have a few questions although I may be missing some tricks with .net that will be happily received. Here are my questions:
What would be best? Put all our resources in a seperate DLL per VS solution OR put the resources in each VS project. The way I see it per solution is easier to manage, modify, and allow customer access. The per project solution seems cleaner though and makes the individual projects more portable. This method would apply to our shared library based solutions as well as our end-application based solutions.
Is it possible to have two seperate resource files loaded at once i.e. if we want to log the exceptions in English but supply them back up the food chain (as a message in an exception) in the translated language? Are there any tricks we can use to automate this like AOP?

I am creating a website for an international organization. The initial default page provides a list of languages for the user to select from, but then every page thereafter must be created at runtime with every text field inserted with the selected language. I am using tables in an SQL Server database that provides the translations for every text field on every page. My question is: How do I create a new web page at runtime that is seen by the user in the proper language? I know how to go from one web page to another existing web page. I just do not know how to transfer execution to a new web page.

I'm looking into using the OutputCache-attribute for my ASP.NET MVC website. However, my website is using resources (*.res-files) to display two different languages (based on the user's settings in a cookie and/or database setting). Is there any way I can cache actions for my two languages separately?
Setting a "VaryByHeader" isn't gonna cut it since I have lots of visitors so every second visitor has probably another language set than the visitor before him. This would cause the cached action/page to always be updated since it's a different language.

I am part of a development team building a new ASP.NET 3.5 web application. Two of us are C# coders, and the other is a VB.NET coder.
I know that we can mix languages on a per-project basis, and one can build classes in one language that inherit from classes written in the other language in a different project (which we are already doing), but I can see us getting into a situation where we might well end up with cyclic dependencies between our various project DLLs.
Other than simply having a high number of projects (more seperation of concerns into more libraries), how have you managed this situation on your own projects?
Note - I believe this question to be different enough from the only similar match I could find (this one) on the basis that we are not wanting to use different languages in order to take advantage of their specific features per se, but rather to make use of what developer resource is available to us (i.e. one dev just happens to be VB.NET only).

I am working on a web forms application that needs to support multiple languages based on a user's preference. Here are some considerations to keep in mind about the needed solution:
I want to avoid using resource files to store the different text translations because I'd like the ability to change them without having to recompile and deploy the application.
Also the translations ideally need to be adminstratable.
It seems its a considerable amount of effort to add this support to an existing application.

I have an application that uses resource files to display items in multiple languages. My app uses quote a lot of javascript and the alerts need to display in the local language. To do this, I have created an http handler which will read the keys and values of the culture-specific resource file and write them to a JSON array which is then embedded in the page in a script tag, the messages can then be accesses using, for exmaple:
Message.Error (en-GB = "Error", fr-FR = "Erreur")
The messages http handler works great in development, however when I run the application on a test server, I get the error: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Resources.Alerts.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.b0n9j90e" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed. The code that I use to acccess the resource file is:
ResourceManager manager = Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager;
ResourceSet resourceSet= Resources.Alerts.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, true, true);
Where Resources.Alerts is the type that contains my multi-lingual definitions. The build action for the Alerts.resx file is set to "Embedded Resource". Any ideas why this works locally but not on my test server, am I missing something?

I have a problem with membership authentication. I have two websites, website1 and website2, and both of them uses forms authentication with SQL membership provider (SQLEXPRESS). I have two scenarios:
Case 1:don't publish the website1 and try to login website1 with user1 -->Works ok
don't publish the website2 and try to login --> it displays the previously logged in user (Website1 user)-->Perfect
Case 2:publish the website1 and login-->works ok
publish the website2 and try to login--> it does not show up the site1's logged in user (No idea why)
then login into website2 and open website1-->it does not show up the website2 logged in user or any user...It looks like something wrong with cookies....
my web.config looks like this:<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/LogOn/LogOn" timeout="2880" protection="All"/>
</authentication> [code]....

I have two applications with a single domain name ([URL] and [URL]). First one has been developed in .NET 2 and the other one with .NET 4. I have configured web.config as these steps:
1- I've set the same machine key for both of them.
2- I've set the coockie name.
3- I've set the domain name to "domain.com".
4- Also, I've set hardcoded coockie domain name to "domain.com" .
Everything was working fine when both of them were running on a single web server. Recently, I've been asked to move test.domain.com to another server. After moving, authentication ticket is not valid on the second server. I tested both of them on a single server again and everything was workinh fine, but in two servers users can't acces to test.domain.com. (Authentication Ticket is invalid)
Edited: The second server is a virtual (VMWare) server. I don't have any problem in physical servers. I checked the server's time to be synchronized. I also used fiddler to see if the server does not get the auth ticket and ther ticket is sent to the 2nd server. Note: Servers are located in different networks and maybe proxy or firewall causes this (I've no idea)

Until now, I've always used straightforward Forms Authentication on my community websites, and that one method of authentication, with that one cookie/ticket has been used throughout the website (with varying roles per user also stored in the ticket). I haven't used the built in LogIn controls and instead have always just created my own login/registration form, and written the code to insert into (and authenticate against in the log-in scenario) my bespoke 'Users' table. So I've essentially just been utilizing the .IsAuthenticated() method (to determine if a user is logged in), referenced the UserData property in the ticket (to determine which roles the user belongs to), and set up the 'location' restrictions in the Web.config, so the log-in page is automatically shown for pages that require 'member access' etc.
With my new project, I will need user registration/login for the Forums/Community part of the website only. I then need an additional user registration/login for the Recruitment part of the website (not related in any way to the users that sign up/log in to the Forums/Community part of the site).I was wondering if this possible, and if so, how to go about it?e user registration/sign-in pages might look the same, but my underlying code would would create accounts/authenticate against different DB tables.

Is it possible to have multiple login pages for different folders within an asp.net application? Say I have this structure:
/admin
/customer
/login-admin.aspx
/login-customer.aspx
I have 2 different login forms. One for the admin people and one for the customers (the forms are different as the customers need to provide extra information on their login page).
In the authentication section of the webconfig file (which is at the root of the web app), I can only specify one Login page. So how can I make sure thaf if anyone tries to access a webpage in /admin they will be redirected to /login-admin.aspx and if they try to access a webpage in /customer they will be redirected to /login-customer.aspx ?

I'm working on a new project and I would like to use forms authentication to protect the necessary pages. The project is going to be focused on companies where a company would create an account and have multiple users. Each company should have its own data and should not be able to see other companies' data. What would be the best way to go about this? I've considered using a subdomain for each company which would tell the application which membership provider to use. I've also considered using an additional credential such as company ID to specify which company the user is logging into.

We're using ASP.NET and IIS 6.0. I realise that the definitions of applications, websites and virtual directories are ill-defined in IIS 6, and changed a lot in IIS 7. However, I'm stuck with IIS 6.0 for now.
We have a single web site defined in IIS, and a number of separate sub-sites in Virtual Directories.
The scheme looks like this:-
[URL]
[URL]
site1, site2, ... are virtual directories in IIS 6.0, under the "Default Web Site".
I need to use ASP.NET sessions and forms authentication in most of these sites, and I don't want them to share authentication data or session information at all.
Both the mechanisms currently depend on cookies. However, the cookies created by default use the same name, and have a path of "/" in the browser, meaning the sites' cookies will clash with each other.
Without changing the default name for each cookie, how can I enforce separation between my sub-sites? Do I need to change the virtual directories for IIS 6 "Applications"? Or is there some way in code to enforce a more limited scope for the cookies?

i want to have several domains A, B, C where a user can enter his username and password to login to a common main domain D.
So the user goes to A, B or C, enters his username and password, clicks the "login" button, and is then on the main domain D in a logged in/authenticated state. Then the user does the things he wants to do, and then clicks the logout-button and is then returned to the original domain that he came from, be it A, B or C.
What is the best way to do this?
I currently use forms authentication in ASP.NET 4.0 (C#).

There is the following design: the back-end implemented as WCF, the public front site and two intranet sites (all three talking to the back-end). I believe that authentication on the sites is not enough (i.e. passing ClientID to WCF in each request as a parameter) and i want to protect my back-end (WCF) with authentication to perform double-check and have PrincipalPermission on the methods with roles specified.
I'm sure that identity names from both providers do not cross (public logins are digits only and the intranet will be something like 'DOMAINLogin'). The front site uses forms auth and its provider returns GenericPrincipal. The intranet sites use Windows auth and i have WindowsPrincipal attached to Page.User.
Is it possible to configure WCF to use two membership providers (custom one that the front site uses and Windows) out of the box, without writing another custom code? Is it important how my WCF is hosted? Currently it's windows service. Do i need to switch to IIS 7?

I'm building a new ASP.NET MVC application (in C#) and one of the requirements is to create a new database of members. For this, we'd need roles to manage the different types of members and profiles to manage the additional metadata attached to each member. So far so good, just use the standard MembershipProvider, RoleProvider and ProfileProvider provided as part of the .NET Framework.
However, the catch is that I'd like to allow different authentication methods. I'd like Accounts and Login Credentials to have a one-to-many relationship (one account can have a number of login credentials attached). A user for example, might have both an OpenID and ActiveDirectory account attached to their account.
However, after experimenting with a few ways we opted for the MembershipProvider route (explained how it was achieved as an answer below).
It appears to be something that is achieved on quite a number of sites, yet a search on here doesn't return anything solid to play around with.
EDIT: After looking around for a good period of hours overnight and this morning - I'm still not convincinced that butchering a single MembershipProvider would have been the easiest option. Does having multiple MembershipProviders give the same effect?
BOUNTY EDIT: With no responses, I am assuming that there is no more optimal solution that the one I posted as an answer. Is this really the case? I'm offering a bounty to try and see if anyone has any further thoughts on this and whether there are better alternatives.
BOUNTY ACCEPT EDIT: I think that WIF is the answer as accepted below, for a .NET 4 release and maybe other versions as it probably works with 3.5. Other than that, maybe a butchered MembershipProvider or adapted one may still be relevant.

I have three asp.net web applications
,Second and Third applications are accessed throught the first,So Authentication (form authentication) is happening from the first application only , all are deployed on same IIS with seperate virtual directory
Like
1.Localhost/EmpMananger
1. Localhost/Hr
2.Localhost/Payroll
, I used the same Entires in both <machineKey> and
<forms> Elements in webconfig file of all applications,
Applications are working fine and Page.User.Identity are available in all applications but once loginUrl and defaultUrl entry is changed to actual name other than localhost
Eg: localhost/EmpManager/default.aspx To myserver/EmpManger/default.aspx
the authentication ticket is not available in second and third applicaiton
