MVC - Testing Windows Authentication And Local Express DB
Jul 30, 2010
I am testing with windows authentication and a local express DB. My DB has users and roles tables. Following link explains this concept:[URL]
Code:
[HandleError]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Roles = "Managers")]
public ActionResult CompanySecrets()
{
return View();
}
[Authorize(Users="redmond\swalther")]
public ActionResult StephenSecrets()
{
return View();
}
}
Above roles are coming from NTLM. Is there a way where i can map roles in my DB table so that these are then available to me like User.IsInRoles("Admin") etc?
i have installed sql server express using windows authentication mode,but i have a doubt if we want to acces the data from front end we type like uid="",pwd="",servername="" but when using windows auth what credentials we have to give or there is no need of any details?
I want to test MySQL with ASP .NET locally. However, I do not want to host a local server. How would I simulate a local MySQL server using files or something similar?
I do not want to do my development based on an emulator, so I want to be able to have my phone (Android), to connect to my local PC to make sure what I am developing comes out the way I want it to.
Issue #1 - I need to be able to connect to my network, not internet, I can't have my PC internet facing, this limits me from opening my PC to the internet.
Issue #2 - No WiFi allowed at my work, security issues.
Issue #3 - I can't publish this to a internet facing site, since the procedure to get it to one, take a few days each publish and will put my development to a crawl.
What I'm looking for, is a way to get my phone to connect to my local PC, maybe via USB/Bluetooth but have access to my local IIS.
I have VWD 2010 Express installed. While developing I would like my co-workers to test the application (the parts that are "finished"). When I click "View in browser" for some web form of my application or "Start debugging" the app is shown in my browser at:
http://localhost:3424/Default.aspx
My IP on local network is 192.168.1.14. How can my co-workers access this page?
Note: I do not have IIS instaled (just ASP.NET Development Server).
I don't have web server account yet so I must test my applications with the Web Development Server under VS 2010 with C# but I read that I couldn't send emails under that server but I also read that I can send email with IIS7 Express and that's the main reason why I've install Webmatrix. Maybe someone can confirm this. So for the moment I am redirecting my emails into a local folder and it is working perfectly. Here is part of the code I've add to the Web.Config for doing that.

As you can see I am redirecting the emails to the D: emp
[Code]....
What are the values of username & password. or others when we use the Webmatrix server and how can I fint hem? It was hell posting this text I think the inserted code was interfering with the HTML of the message or there are bugs in the editor,

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 was being used along with SQL Express for website development on the Operating System, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition of Intel Xeon CPU @ 2.13 GHz (2 Processors) containing 12 GB RAM with 64-bit Operating System. Website was developed along with the databases of SQL Express with the help of Visual Studio. Whether the developed website along with the databases may be used on the Operating System, Windows 7 of 64-bit? The website will used within Intranet. Which Operating System and configuration to be used for the Intranet Website?
Just going to start making a web application and was wondering which was better, or at least what are the main differences between them (as it probably matters what I am using them for)?
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I selected windows mode authentication. I am not able to login in management studion. Now, I want to use mixed and server authentication option inplace of windows authentication. so, would that be possible after installation.
I set authentication mode to Windows in the web.config and I enable Windows Authentication and disable the Anonymous Authentication in IIS 7 on win 7, but HttpContext.Current.User is always null.It works fine when I host the web app in IIS 6.0.
I have been trying to avoid the windows login userid and password window when I use the Windows Authentication mode for a web site. I need to capture the the windows logon user name without prompting for the user id and password and display that on the web site. I had tried almost everything... changed authentication,security setups on IE and IIS etc... still not being able to avoid the window...
I'm trying to enable automatic Window authentication working on our ASP.NET Intranet. I've changed the Authentication on our IIS 7.5 server from Anonymous to Windows Authentication Enabled only, and changed the Web.config file for the website to:
The Windows login box appears when accessing the website via IE 8, I enter valid credentials, but the login window keeps reappearing as if it does not accept my credentials. By repeatedly cancelling the login box it disappears, and my login name can be viewed on the website. Is there any possible reason for the login box to keep popping up even though valid credentials are being entered? I've restarted the servers / cleared browser cache etc. Also, ideally I would like the user to enter the login details once in the login box and not be required to reenter login details whenever he reopens the browser.
I have a web application (intranet based) which uses Windows Authentication. Unfortunately there are public computers that have public logins at some company locations. My web app doesn't support these public logins because I need to know the user workingSo, even though these public users are windows authentication users, my app will fail because I have no user account setup for that particular account. I want to then try Active Directory Authentication.In my Default.aspx.cs I'd have something like this
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {try userContext = new UserContext(); // If the authenticated user isn't a user in my system then throw an exception } [code]...
We have a working version of application (Intranet) with uses Windows Authentication deployed in Windows 2003. The application uses HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the logged-in user. Here impersonate is turned off.Right now, we are move to Windows 2008 RC2 where this Windows Authentication problem arised. I have Digest Authentication and Windows Authentication enabled. And also I have enabled Anonymous Authentication enabled to avoid the Login dialog of IIS in the end-user IE. Now I am getting HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name as Empty. When I impersonate using username and password, I am used to login using that user but all the users uses the same user to login.Does any has solution for this?Deployment Server - Windows 2008 RC2 (IIS 7.5)Development - Windows 7 (IIS 7.5)I am new to IIS 7.5. Please give me a solution
My overall goal is just to get the logged on users information for an Intranet site I'm developing without them providing their login (since they are already logged into their computer). So far I just get 401.1 errors and it keeps asking for my login/password. Even though I provide my login/password, it still won't let me in.
I've Enabled Windows Authentication from IIS > Sites > Default Web Site, added this to my web.config:
I am fairly new to ASP.net - comming from a PHP / MYSQL background sometimes certain things in ASP.net confuse the hell out of me. In PHP - when writing an application you always connect to an external database server (MYSQL , PostGreSQL ) using a username and password and aswell a datbase server address(mostly localhost). Now with ASP.net i noticed that you can connect to an existing database within SQL server or you can create a local database in the App_Data folder.
The local database seems much easier to work with however my concern is what would you store in a local database? surely you cannot use it as a main database to store all your data(compared to a MYSQL database)? Secondarily with SQL server - when i login into SQL server management express , it uses "Windows Authetication" , i tried to select "Sql Server authentication" and enter my own username and password to login but that did'nt work. How do i deploy a database from SQL server to the web? - in MYSQL for example we would have a SQL dump file , which can be simply imported/exported from server to server.
Is it possible to connect to a SQL Server Express 2008 database in ASP.NET with a server name of (local) like "server=(local);integrated security=SSPI;database=DBNAME"? I'm working with another developer on a project and it's getting annoying having to have 2 different version of web.config because he is using SQL Server 2008 and (local) works, but I can't seem to get it to work with SQL Server 2008 Express locally. The database is located on the same computer as the .NET code in case that matters.
I've been asked to convert an asp.net application from forms authentication with roles using the aspnetdb database to use windows authentication instead.
what is required to do this? can I still use the roles defined in the app and stored in aspnetdb?
I have an (ASP.NET 3.5) intranet application which has been designed to use forms authentication (along with the default aspnet membership system). I also store additional information about users in another table which shares its primary key with the aspnet_users table.
For users who are part of our domain I store their domain account name in the secondary users table, and I want to automatically log in users whose domain account name matches a name stored in the table.
I have read the guides which are available - they're all from two years ago or more and assume that you are able to activate Windows Authentication on a separate login page that allows you to extract the domain account name. From what I can tell, though, this is not possible in IIS7 (the overall authentication method is applied on all pages and cannot be selectively deactivated, and both authentication methods can't be applied on the same page).
Is there a way of getting IIS to pass through the windows domain account name of the requesting user? I don't need proper AD authentication, just the domain name.
