I'm using default ASP.NET user controls and SQL user provider. How can I log somewhere when users login to web and when logout? Is there some tricks for it or just write to some .log file manually each time after user login. (Also , how can I check user IP adress?)
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET WebForms page with forms authentication. When users create a login, I use 'remember me' to create the authentication cookie.
What I now want to do is check the time of their last access. But LastLogin time is updated only when the user uses the login control (which they don't need to use when they have the authentication cookie on their machine), and LastActivity control is updated before any of my code runs.
It looks like the only way I can do this is to hook into the application event Application_AuthenticateRequest - right? Or is there some better way to do this?
i am not sure to which head does this problem belongs ....but this seems to be a security issue to me..I am writing this post after googling aroung for 2-3 days..Frown but still can't find any resolution to my problems. Let me describe my problem:-
I have created a website which does the following tasks:
1) Creates a user
2)Enables/Disables users
3)Delete users
4)Unlocks users
5)Reset password of a user
in Active Directory.
I have used impersonation in my application which uses the admin credentials to perform above tasks.When i run this application in debug mode through Visual Studio 2005 ,all the tasks are performed successfully .Now comes the deadly exceptions i am facing after publishing the website and hosting it on IIS. Task 2 & 3 are still working fine and i can enable/disable and delete user from AD even after hosting website but the problem comes in
Resettind password
Exception Details:-Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. || Trace: at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args)
at ADHelper.ResetPassword(String currentDomain, String userToResetPwd, String newPassword) in e:New ProjectAD [code]...
I am running my application locally -- ie. No external traffic and very low number of queries, fully under my control. I see tons of 'Audit Login' and 'Audit Logout' events. What are these and where are they actually stored (ie. Where is this audit log)? Are these a hint of a problem with connections, because I have only a simple connection string within my app and thought that connections would remain active throughout the operation of my app (ie. a single login at launch, and then a single logout when terminating).
View 2 RepliesI 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 have an administrators page that gets a list of the users that are members of my site and i want to display their profile each time i clikc on the user name.
In order to do so, i use the following code:
[Code]....
This way, the last activity date is updated and the IsUserLogedOn property is set to true, without the user actually enter the application (since it is a calculated value that depends on the last activity date). As a result, each time i click a user name to view his profile, the user seems to be loged in.
I need to display current status of a document approval workflow task in asp.net web page with a specific activity highlighted.
I have seen the Visual workflow tracker example (in wf & wcf samples) but I have two issues,
I have to render workflow in asp.net not in a WPF app. I don't need to display current status with workflow running, all activities that need to be highlighted are the ones that require user input. e.g. "waiting for approval from department head" etc.
If I could just convert the workflow XAML to JPG after highlighting a specific activity by activity id "that created a bookmark and waiting for resumption the bookmark" it would do the work.
check the attached file for required workflow image to be rendered on asp.net page:
Workflow with current activity highlighted (that is waiting to be resumed)
Im working on my first ASPX webpage now, and Im wondering if there is some way to make a cache?
With a cache, I mean a list of variables that gets transferred from a db to for insance a hashtable the first time a user loads the page. When the next user loads the page, the db doesent get touched, but the variable is collected from the hashtable.
I tried to make a static class, but it re-loaded for each time I refreshed the page.
I am running a Access Database and I have a Intranet site, Administrators can post News to a table in the Access database and Intranet users can see the news when they go to the Intranet site.
Any important/companie news is posted to the Front page and the user can access the news vie a link.
BUT;
if there are more than one post when the user clicks on the link they can only read the first post.
When they click on the 2nd link the first post opens but the Activity ID from my table in access changes!
The Activity Id changes but the page content does not, I am using form view on the Activitydetails2.aspx to view the news table
I have created a web user control called Activity. I have defined a public-facing event on that web user control called OnActivityDelete. There is a delete button in the Activity control. When the delete button is clicked, the Activity control fires the OnActivityDelete event. I am using this web user control in a repeater. I assign an event handler to the OnActivityDelete event on the repeater's item data bound event. When I click the delete button for the Activity control, the event fires from the Activity control, but it never hits the event handler in the page that's using the control. (I have stepped into the code with the debugger and confirmed this behavior).
My suspicion is that this behavior has something to do with the fact that the event handlers are added in code behind when I bind the repeater to a datasource, which I only do if the page is not posting back.Is it possible to define the event handler for the Activity control in the markup of the aspx page? If so, will this solve my problem?If not, do I have to bind the repeater and hook up to the events every page load in order to solve my problem (this works, I just tested it), or is there some viewstate trick to getting the events to persist? Markup of Repeater on page:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptrActivites" runat="server" EnableViewState="true">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="activity">[code]...
Page's code behind:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

View 1 RepliesNowadays having activity logs of the system is needed for history and if someone who is trying to mess your site, it is easily to define who is it and when it happen. And even Facebook have it.
View 1 RepliesI have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.
Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:
[code]....
So, obviously, I have a Sql Server database that contains the users and roles for the web app. I'd like to create a separate windows app that references the web app assembly, and use the configured MembershipProvider, RoleProvider, and machineKey to create users, assign users to roles, etc. If that's not possible, I can duplicate the configuration settings from web.config within the windows app. But I don't know how to do this either.
I need to stop users users using the browser back button and potentially submitting an old version of a form.
I'm storing a guid in a session variable and also writing the value to a hidden form field and then checking the session value against the hidden field value if a user does try to navigate back and submit an old form.
If the form is submitted and the user wants to complete a new copy of the form then a new guid is generated both to the session and to the hidden form field. Now, if the user decides to hit the back button a few times to get the old form and tries to submit it again, the page checks the current guid in session against the guid stored in the form field and it finds a mismatch and prevents the form being submitted.
This works as expected in Chrome and Firefox, but in IE6, when the user hits the back button to view the old form, the new guid value appears in the hidden field of the old form! This means the user can submit the old form again, which we definitely do not want.

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm tryin to achieve now is to apply a different layout dependingon which user is logged. However, I cannot do any of this kind of conditional logic in the page itself. What I was thinking was an action filter that tests the current user, and if they are logged in applies one layout to the view and if they are not applies a different layout to the view.
