Janrain Engage OpenID C# Code Behind For Forms Website?
Dec 28, 2010
I have signed up with Janrain Engage to incorporate its free widget based openID. But i can't figure out what values to put in the C# code behind. They have provided with a C# helper class, the one below:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
[code]...
Forgive me but i'm not a master of C#, but i can't figure out where to put the values for the apiKey and the token_url. Also if a user signs in how to display the username as derived from the accounts he is using to sign up, Google or Yahoo! for example.Also there is no sign out option provided.
I have an exiting ASP.NET website that already has user accounts in it. I would now like to simplify logon and considering the use of Janrain. Is this a recommended product? Any alternatives you have used? What do I do with my existing users (I assume I need to extend my membership db to select between them and Janrain tokens)?
There are sample codes on the net for OpenId Client but none for OpenId Server. Do you know some? I know about dotnetopenAuth but there seem to be no tut on how to use as OpenId Provider. I don't even know if it can do that. Maybe it can just be used to create openid consumer app.
I have an MVC2 application, and HttpHandler Library. The library, to simplify, serves an image. The problem is that if I invoke this handler from the root page ( http://whatever/ ), everything works fine. If, however, I change the Global.asax, so the same page now has the address of http://whatever/controller/action - it doesn't work (ALT text comes out instead of image).I didn't write the handler library, but I have the code; so I put a breakpoint in ProcessRequest function of IHttpHandler implementation. For good situation the breakpoint gets triggered, but for bad case it isn't. So, I assume that the handler isn't invoked for non-root pages.
When I run in visual studio I am able to connect to openid provider, But if I host app in IIS ,I am not able to connect to openid provider. (I am getting error at CreateRequest)
what settings has to be done in IIS so that I can connect to the Openid Provider. Below is the error I am getting
[InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements] System.Linq.Enumerable.First(IEnumerable`1 source) +336 DotNetOpenAuth.OpenId.RelyingParty.OpenIdRelyingParty.CreateRequest(Identifier userSuppliedIdentifier) [ProtocolException: No OpenID endpoint found.] DotNetOpenAuth.OpenId.RelyingParty.OpenIdRelyingParty.CreateRequest(Identifier userSuppliedIdentifier)
i have implemented the the openid in my page using dotnet open id when i get authenticated iam storing the details provided by openid provider in my database and creating a session of that username and redirecting the user to login protected page it is working fine but some time if i left the page idle for some time and then do any kind of postback then the session is lost and my page do not allows me to do any thing as it is login protected some time it is working fine without any problem. can you suggest me why is it so.
I'm looking to implement a membership system using OpenID for my ASP.NET application, similar to the system used here on StackOverflow. I'm aware that the OpenAuth library is generally recognized as the way to go, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement it.
I use NHibernate to persist my domain objects. I have a Users table with a username column, email column, etc. I'm not sure how to integrate OpenID with my own users table, and I haven't found any good tutorials on this. Does anyone have any experience with this? What is the best way to go about doing it?
I need to know how we can add OpenID Authentication in asp.net. For example, in some web site we can login using gmail account or wordpress account or twitter account some other public sites. I want know how we can add that in our site too. Let me know the code for that or can you give me more details where I can get that information or sample code.
Firstly, This question may be asked. But I could not get the information i am looking for.
I am creating a website which should take to [URL] where the user enters his account information and it redirect back to my website similar to how stack over flow is doing when we click on gmail image.
I am trying to implement a website in .net.
list a step by step procedure to implement it or suggest some documentation to follow.
I clearly dont want other types of openID implemention where u enter the open id and pick ur open id provider.
Building a website using ASP.NET membership(forms authentication) and options to link Open IDs to it. I would like to have Microsoft Live as an OpenID option in this website. Well I have not seen Login using Windows Live ID except at forums.asp.net, but then both are Microsoft websites.
Today, I stumbled upon a website that seems to be using Microsoft Live Connect or whatever. I tried searching for it but I couldn't get any documentation regarding an API for Live Connect.

I'm planing to do PDF printing in my ongoing project, for this I need to do direct pdf printing(from code behind) from server machine because printer is connected with server machine. For making PDF I'm using Itextsharp instead of crystal report.
I am currently playing with DotNetOpenAuth to make an ASP.NET (C#) website use OpenID instead of the normal login-password routine for user and session handling. Up till now, I have added the DotNetOpenAuth.dll into my project and tried a test login page with the following: <rp:OpenIdLogin ID="OpenIdLogin1" runat="server" />
When I run the page, I enter a valid myopenid url and the website redirects to the myopenid page, where I enter my password, and upon success, it returns back to my default.aspx, due to the following in my web.config:
Now that the user is "logged in", how can handle my session? At the moment, I don't know how I can, for example, check if the session is still alive or how to terminate the session. My basic question is, how can I manage the session once the user is authenticated with OpenID ?
[Update]
I am now using the following to check for authentication: HttpContext.Current.User, and with that I can now check if a user is authenticated with a session. Now is there a possible way on how I can "link" user details that are stored in my database with an openid account?
I have a site which some one designed for me .. after i decompiled my dll files i got *.cs files that i can edit ... when i am trying to edit these pages i can only find the titles of pages but i can't see the rest of text in the site
I'm using DotNetOpenAuth as my membership system, and the way I have it working now seems to be working quite well. What I'd like to do however is build into my website the ability to check user credentials against the AuthCookie rather than a session. In the membership provider, I can check for the username like this
string UserName = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name; ''# which returns the OpenId ClaimedIdentifier
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to extend this so that I can retrieve custom properties from the AuthCookie rather than having to create my own session object. Currently I have this setup.
UserSessionModal Namespace Domain Public Class UserSessionModel Public Property ID As Integer Public Property RegionID As Integer Public Property Username As String Public Property Slug As String Public Sub New(ByVal user As User) _ID = user.ID _RegionID = user.RegionID _Username = user.UserName _Slug = Replace(user.UserName, " ", "-") End Sub End Class End Namespace
BaseController (inherited by all controllers) Protected Overrides Function CreateActionInvoker() As System.Web.Mvc.IActionInvoker ''# Create a UserInfo object for the logged in user ''# and store it in a session state. If Session("UserInfo") Is Nothing AndAlso User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then Dim user As Domain.UserSessionModel = New Domain.UserSessionModel(OpenIdService.GetOpenId(HttpContext.User.Identity.Name).User) Session("UserInfo") = user End If Return MyBase.CreateActionInvoker() End Function
Then in my views I do something like this
<% Dim user As MyApp.Core.Domain.UserSessionModel = DirectCast(Session("UserInfo"), MyApp.Core.Domain.UserSessionModel) %> <%: Html.ActionLink(user.UserName, "Details", "Users", New With {.id = user.ID, .slug = user.Slug}, Nothing)%>
What I really need to be able to do is remove the Session stuff all together and just simply check the AuthCookie for my custom properties ID, RegionID, Username, and Slug. I can already get the "ClaimedIdentifier" out of the AuthCookie using HttpContext.User.Identity.Name... I just need to be able to extend it.
In my asp.net application, users are created by the administrators & those users need to log-in into the system using their own email/password or openid. So what is the best option to implement in this scenario?
I mean, as users can't register them self,do administrator required to associate each openid with the users & what kind of table structure do I need?
And do I also need the log-in interface like that of [URL] showing multiple types of authentication(default & openid from various providers)?
I am trying to implement OpenId for an internal web app. Our college is on Google Apps for Edu, so we have the suite of Google OpenID and OAuth exposed to us.
I would like my login page to have the standard username and password, and additionally a button on the side that will authenticate internal users to our app domain.
I have followed the example here [URL] but it seems that the rules are different for the google apps id than a general google id.
I have a website that i converted from asp .net 1.1 to 2.0 and now i have one page that said ambiguous reference because in 1.1.all controls needed to be defined in the class as well. Well after deleting those and leaving only the declares in the Markup,it says that the variables do not exists in current context. Intellisense allows me to use and reference them from the page but when trying to build it leaves me with that error.
