I'm using a custom role provider (written by another developer) that uses our active directory username (obtained from HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name) along with a SQL table.
Anyways, when I update my SQL table to update my roles I need to close my web browser (Internet Explorer 7) in order for my new security to become effective.
I've tried using Session.Abandon() but that doesn't help.
How can I refresh my security?
Ideally I want something like: Roles.RefreshCurrent()
I am new to asp.net and developing an application where there will be some roles like (admin, entry user, maker, checker) one user can have all or can have partial roles based on the provided roles and the page should restrict functionality based on the user role.
What is the best way of implementing it without memberships in asp.net ..
I wish to know the way to add ASP.NET ("Machine_Name"IIS_IUSRS) to user role in COM+ component programmatically using C#. So whenever my COM+ component is being installed, ASP.NET user is created under Role.
I am using the ASP.NET membership system and I have found the ability to 'add user to role' programtically, but I am wondering if there is a way of changing a user role?
I don't simply want to add a user to another role and I can't seem to find the 'remove user from role' command.
I am looking for a way to distroy the ASP.net membership session for a specific user. The reason I am doing this is as an admin I want to delete a user. This works fine, but if the user already has an active session, he is still marked as "online" until this session dies (I verify each time by using Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated). How do I go about killing a session based on the user it's authorized as. This way when I do Memberships.DeleteUser(username) I can also do Sessions.KillByUser(username)[URL]
I am using if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated){ //do sth. } in my web service to do credential. Is that good enough? or is there some best practices that I can follow?
I've been using the CreateUserWizard to create my users as well as to assign them roles/permissions. My problem is that, once created, I have no idea how to edit or delete their details without using the Asp.net Website Administration Tool. Where can I get some extensive but easy to understand literature on the subject?
I had found a Gridview example on the internet that showed you would read the available autorites from the webconfig and then allow you to update them in a Gridview. I lost the link before I could completely study and understand it. Asp.net auto generated memberships have been a real struggle for me.
Usually in sub-folder we will limit the access right to some roles and this feature requires pre-defined database schema.
However, if i still want to use this role feature of asp.net, but I do not like the pre-define database schema, I want to extract role information from my own database table and bind it to the role.
When adding a role (making use of asp.net's role provider), i cannot find a method to add a role including a description.the asp.net Role table in SQL makes provision for a role description, however the only method available is:Roles.CreateRole(string RoleName);here is no overload to include a description.Is there an out of the box way of including the description? or should i go about this myself?
I have a problem when I try to pass in paramaters for a report in my report viewer. I have set up the ObjectDataSource and set the paramaters for 3 text boxes that are on the page. The only way I have found to set the paramaters for the report is the user must fill in the paramaters and hit the refresh button on the Report Viewer toolbar ,but I would like to have the user click a asp.net button insted. Is there anyway to call the refresh method from codebehind?

I am in the process of creating a user control that enables content areas of our web application to be editable. The control utilizes the asp.net membership/role providers and incorporates a LoginView that only displays the edit link if a user has logged in and is a member of the desired role. What I would like to be able to do is pass the "role" as a property of the control so it can be set dynamically and does not have to be hard coded into the control if I use elsewhere in another application.
I have a table on my page. I need to scroll down a little to get to that table. In that table i have som data that i edit and save to database. When the save is done i need to refresh the page( Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl )) so it loads the new data to that table. When the refresh is done the page is on top again so that i need to scroll down again to see the table. This makes it very unusable for the user.
How can i refresh the page without it going back to top again? I tryed wrapping an updatepanel around the table but it didnt
I modified the ASP.NET login control to also allow specifying UserRole ('Employee' or 'Volunteer'). Users are authenticated via a call to a webservice written by our client, which accepts username/password/role and returns true or false.If role is 'Employee' it represents an active directory user. The application should impersonate the user with the given username/password.If role is 'Volunteer' the application should run under a set Windows account whose username/password are known in advance (i.e. hard-coded in web.config file).
Using the Entity Framework that I generated. I have a Roles table created during the default system AspNetSqlRoleProvider security set-up.In the Roles table, I have an ApplicationId uniqueidentifier column. Which has a guid populated in it, which doesn't change for my application. I need to add a Role manually through my app using the entity framework. However, when creating my Roles object and setting Roles.ApplicationId. It expects a type of Guid. I have the ApplicationId in my web.config app settings. As it shouldn't change. But it is returned at string. I cannot type cast the value either to use in Roles.ApplicationId. What can I do to use my current ApplicationId value when trying to create a new role manually using the EF?
I am building my first asp.net app from scratch. I have two different membership providers. One is a basic sql provider while the other is active directory. The user "role" is determined by how the user logs in. I want to use the Role Manager functionality of asp.net but I don't want to build the whole role provider part when I really don't have "roles" in my application, I have two membership types.
Is there a way to set the role of the user through the membership provider at login or in some way mark a logged in user as having been authenticated by sql or AD?
This is my first asp.net app, am I even thinking about this the right way?
I have a couple of aspx pages in c# and want to apply security on them. The way the current security works is that each user is assigned a role to enable him to add,edit or delete . for instance I have 3 roles, Accountant, finance and clerk,
