In my MVC application I am using windows authentication. In my controller i need to find out what group the user is, and also possibly what the user name is. How can one do this?

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)?
View 3 Repliesguess it's straightforward. On page load, i wanna check the group of which a particular belong to. Say, someADNameeckham belongs to Account. In that case, I only wanna get "Account". But I have no idea how to get the group name of a particular user belong to. It's for LAN web portal so I guess security is not a very big concern here.

View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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...
View 1 RepliesI'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:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
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.
What do I need to do in order to change an application from Forms Authentication to windows authentication?
View 2 RepliesI 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
}

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
View 3 RepliesMy 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:
<authentication mode="Windows" />

<deny users="?"/>

My Application Pool is setup as Integrated / ApplicationPoolIdentity for .NET Framework 2.0.
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.
Is it possible to disable windows authentication on one or more subfolders of an ASP.net application using windows authentication?
For example:
A website contains several other folders that contain parts of the overall application: /frontend,/backend, /login
The bin folder is on the same level as these subfolder, i.e. the root of the website.
All of these subfolders contain pages that use binaries that reside in the bin folder of the root of the website.
The user must input windows credentials when visiting a page in the backend folder, but not when visiting a page in the login or frontend folder.
I am developing one intranet website. Being an intranet application, one of the requirement is to have a single sign on feature.
It means that the windows PC username (i.e the "ctrl + alt + delete" username) is going to be the username for the system.
How do i fetch that username?
I tried the following two ways which are working in debug mode but not on live site.
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User;
Response.Write(user.Identity.Name);
&
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"].ToString());
Both the above method works when i run the page from visual studio.
However when i run the page from IIS or any other server, it gives me a blank value
I'm doing form authentication with roles to access areas of a website. The authentication is working great, but I'm having trouble with the roles piece. On the page in question (needing to narrow the access), the top lblGrps.text (below) shows I'm in the group I need to be in, while the response.write (also immediately below) reads false for the EdIT group:
[Code]....
I have a windows group called "windgrp" it has three members in it:
Administrators
testDomain.Administrator
user1
I have this code to display the members present in a group:
using (DirectoryEntry groupEntry =
new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://./" + userGroupName + ",group"))
{
foreach (object member in (IEnumerable)groupEntry.Invoke("Members"))
{
using (DirectoryEntry memberEntry = new DirectoryEntry(member))
{
listbox.itms.add(memberentry.name);
}
}
}
This gives me the result:
Administrator
Administrator
user
It does not show me to which domain the 2nd entry belongs to.
How can I get the domain?
I am trying to restrict access to the webpage using a security group. find the code in the web.config file:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="enterprisenet.orgNMR Helpdesk Supt" />
</authorization>
Code in the code behind file of the aspx file i am trying to access:
if (User.IsInRole(@"enterprisenet.orgNMR Helpdesk Supt"))
{}
else
{
Server.Transfer("noaccess.aspx");
}
Group is located in enterprisenet.org/Groups/NMR Helpdesk Supt . Its not working as expected.

Forms authentication using Active Directory Group
I am using Active Directory to authenticate users for an intranet site. I would like to refine the users that are authenticated based on the group they are in in Active Directory. Can someone show me or point me to directions on how to find what groups a user is in in ASP.NET 4.0 (VB)?
View 2 RepliesThis group section cannot be printed because its condition field is nonexistent or invalid. Format the section to choose another condition field. Error in File Detailed_CrystalReport {9C8154B9-5093-457C-9E6A-2A1D63E7E866}.rpt: Invalid group condition.
without group section report can correctly show report and with group section can correctly show in local computer only with visual studio But with group section has error after deploy to new machine window server 2008 group section is date my crystal report version is 2008, assembly version 12, CRDist x64
try 1: i try to delete the group date and run local, it can correctly show date, but deploy to the new machine date is invisible Group date is wrong the date have only 01/25/2011 however group date become 23/1/2011 why group date is not 01/25/2011?
Is there any way to use a custom Login Page (Not Windows Login Box) for Windows Authentication of SharePoint publishing sites?
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET MVC 2 (.NET 3.5) application. It is hosted on IIS 6.
For the sake of this question I have two urls.
http://example.com/
http://example.com/admin
I want admin to be available to any user on the domain, and the root to be available to all users. The server is on the domain but the domain is example1.com, so they are not the same.
Since this is ASP.NET MVC there is no Admin folder to set rights on. I have tried setting the whole site to block anonymous request and have had it allowing all request. Then in the web.config I set it up to deny unauthenticated users in the admin folder and/or allow anonymous access to the root.
What I end up getting is a login prompt that doesn't work. I've tried the user name and example1username but it always fails to login.
So, i have my virtual directory with Anonymous Access disabled. I allow users to login to my app through the windows server login.I wish to know how i can, through the code, capture the username that is logging in.
