I am able to change a username by directly accessing the asp.net membership user tables. However, the old username is preserved in a new row and assigned a new UserID automatically by asp.net. How do I stop that from happening?
EDIT: only in the users table and roles table, not the membership table.
I'm using a website as a frontend and all users are authenticated with the standard ASP.NET Membership-Provider. Passwords are saved "hashed" within a SQL-Database.Now I want to write a desktop-client with administrative functions. Among other things there should be a method to reset a users password. I can access the database with the saved membership-data, but how can I manually create the password-salt and -hash? Using the System.Web.Membership Namespace seems to be inappropriate so I need to know how to create the salt and hash of the new password manually.
I'm working on different windows machines and virtual windows machines on a mac. I have a project wich uses SQL server and AD for autentication.
Right now I have to be connected to VPN so that the asp.net web application can connect to AD using LDAP string to autentivate users, I also have the SQL server on the other side of the VPN connection.
Is there any way to setup my enviroment so that I can work locally without the AD, and on a local SQL server and be able to publish the project without manually changing the web.config file?
probabaly a daft question but when creating a user using .net membership, can i exclude the username and just have the email as the 'username' like this?
I have seen a lot of question asking about known user name and how to retrieve UserId accordingly. How about the other way around?
For some reason I have UserId, but I don't want to include aspnet_User table into my data entities. Is there any way I can retrieve the user name without querying against aspnet_User table?
1. I want to use membership functionality without username/password
instead I want to use this functionality based on tracked IP's. Is it possible
Is it a good idea? I want to use my application on all famous mobile platforms and desktops mac/win
2. Is it hard (or is it good idea) to have user info stored into database for specific amount of time based on IP instead of persistent cookies? (I mean user can close browser, etc. Usually this time will be 1 hour)
I'm using Membership but allow to change UserName of specified user. I had user named Customer bound to role Customer, and then his username was changed to 123. Then i try to do something to get Roles of this user and get an error or empty result.
I have an Employee class in my App_Code folder. On my login page I am trying to create an Employee using the asp.net username as a parameter in my Employee constructor.
I have tried creating the employee in the page load event when it is a post back. I have tried doing it in the Login1_LoggedIn event. For some reason I cannot pull the username in either one of these places, but if I redirect after logging in and do the same thing on another page, it works.
When I click the "delete" linkbutton, it can delete the all User info from my "UserDetail" table in my "JobPost.mdf", it also delete the corresponding "aspnet_Users" & "aspnet_Membership",but the "UserInRole" still contain that UserName. Even though I specified the Code:Membership.DeleteUser(UserName, true);
I thought true is for bool deleteallrelated data, but it doesn't really delete the userInRole. So next time the user registers with the same name, it automatically get the "admin" role right. This "deleteUser" page I keep it inside a protected "admin"folder. How to solve it? Why Membership.DeleteUser(UserName, true) doesn't delete UserInRole?
protected void GridView2_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e) { if (e.CommandName == "Delete") { string UserName = e.CommandArgument.ToString(); Membership.DeleteUser(UserName, true); JobPostDataContext db = new JobPostDataContext(); var query = from u in db.UserDetails where u.UserName == UserName select u; foreach (var item in query) { db.UserDetails.DeleteOnSubmit(item); } db.SubmitChanges(); FormsAuthentication.SignOut(); } } My web.config inside the protected Admin folder: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles="Administrators" /> <deny users="*" /> </authorization> </system.web> </configuration>

I have an ASP.NET VB website in which I am using the Membership functionality to authenticate users. I am doing this through the Login control on the HTML page. I have working that it will authenticate the user and then opens a welcome screen in which I have a button they can push to open a Reports.aspx page. On that page I have a dropdown box that is being populated from a datasource connection query to my SQL Server database table. It is a hard coded query but want it to query the table off the username text value that the user provided on the login (i.e. select <something> from inventory where username = <username>). I have not behind code but only HTML at this point. Here it is ...
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Login.aspx.vb" Inherits="Login" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server">
[Code] .....
Here is the Reports form that has the dropdown on it:

I recently got a form to work with the "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString" String. That basic idea was I needed a hidden form field so that each record submitted would include the UserName of the user logged in to the membership. However, whenever I try to create a custom query for the gridview, it doesn't submit. how I would go about doing this? Code as below:
I started out with the following code which worked fine, no problems:
[Code]....
I've since expanded the above so that it uses different providers according to the current logged in user. Here's the code since my changes:

I'm not getting any error messages but when I view the web page in the browser, it is stuck in a continuous loop where the page displays (correctly), then posts back to the server and displays again.
On the MSDN page for the Membership.ApplicationName property (which applies to an asp.net membership provider), it warns that although one can change Membership.ApplicationName in code, 'The ApplicationName property is not thread safe for multiple writes, and changing the ApplicationName property value can result in unexpected behavior for multiple users of an application.' They therefore recommend avoiding using it for a 'web application'.
This is because the default SqlMembershipProvider is written as a singleton. But here's my question: is it OK if all the threads in my application process are going to set Membership.ApplicationName to the same thing?
I'm thinking of having multiple applications on my IIS box, each with their own separate application pool. I want to point them to the same location, but based on the hostname, set the application provider to different things. Wouldn't this actually be OK? It might not be a thread-safe operation, but doesn't each application pool have its own process and therefore its own instance of SqlMembershipProvider? So, every thread that tried to set Membership.ApplicationName for a given SqlMembershipProvider instance would be trying to set it to the same thing (the provider that is appropriate for that hostname).
The problem is when am assigning my session table value to newly created table and if now am changing any coloumn name then the session table value also changing.
But my question is am assigning Session value to newly created table so how should session value should be affected?
I have a website on the IIS but it has only the aspx file. Now I need to add the code behind for some pages. How do I go about this?
I've been trying to add the attribute "codebehind" and "autoeventwireup" on the top of the aspx file but no luck (the page_load event is not being called). Also, if I double click on the button from the design view in Visual Studio, it creates the javascript handle (not the server code).
In the past I have always added rows of data by binding the gridview to a sqldatasource control. Is there a way to manually (by code) add rows myself from the VB code? I need to call a stored procedure by code and wrote the results one at a time to the gridview.
I have to create a DataGrid with dynamic columns and I want to put an ImageButton in a TemplateColumn. If the DataGrid is NOT DYNAMIC, I put this code on the .aspx page like this : (this first part of code is just to explain, it isn't what I want to do)
