Mocking User.Identity In .NET MVC?

Jun 12, 2010

I need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication.I've been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context for code that deals with the HttpContext. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the DI pattern as well. (Give the class an attribute of type IRepository and then pass in a Repository object when you instantiate the controller.)

What I don't understand, however, is the proper way to Mock the Windows Principal object available through User.Identity. Is this part of the HttpContext? have a link to an article that demonstrates this (or a recommendation for a book)?

Security :: Using Page.User.Identity.Name To Fetch User Information From A MsSQL Database?

Dec 23, 2010

I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website

By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.

I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:

<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>

User Identity Name Showing Windows User Instead Of Network Service?

Jun 28, 2011

In the IIS, it shows that the web app (i'm using) is using an application pool that uses NETWORK SERVICE account for identity. But when I debug/run my web app, User.Identity.Name shows that my windows user login instead. I checked my web.config file, and it does not have Impersonate enabled. In fact, I set it to false, and it still shows the same.

C# - How To Extend The User.Identity Property

Jul 30, 2010

I'm not talking about asp.net membership.

For each logged user I want to cache some properties like status or the number of friend requests, from the db.

I can create custom class which would do it but I thought it will be better to extend the existing User.Identity property. Something like this:

Label1.Text = User.Identity.Status;

RedirectFromLoginPage() Is Not Updating User.Identity.Name?

Jun 2, 2010

I use FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userName.Trim(), false); to set the User.Identity.Name field that I reference later. When I execute this line, the User.Identity object does not update at all; it contains whatever it was previously set to. All the documentation I see online says this should update my User.Identity object with the correct name, but I don't see that happening.

I have the web config set up properly with the following lines:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="formsauth" loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="60">
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>

C# - Use User.Identity.Name As A Parameter For SqlDataSource?

Oct 5, 2010

For SqlDataSource I can configure the external source for the incoming paramater. For example it might be a QueryString, Session, Profile and so on. However I do not have an option to use User as a source.

I know that I could provide value for the parameter in Inserting,Selecting,Updating,Deleting events. But I do not think that this is an ellegant solution because I have some parameteres already definied in aspx file. I do not want to have parameters defined in two separate places. It makes mess.

So can I somehow define this parameter in .aspx file?

<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="-1" Name="ID"
QueryStringField="ID" />
//User.Identity.Name goes here as a value for another parameter
</SelectParameters>

VS 2008 - Context.User.Identity.Name Is Empty

Oct 17, 2010

After setting the auth cookie using

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("myusername", False)
server.transfer("somepage.aspx") to open a web page.
Context.User.Identity.Name is found to be empty

But if I use

Response.Redirect("somepage.aspx")
Context.User.Identity.Name provides correct result.

I am aware of the differences between Response.Redirect and server.transfer. But exactly what is the reason behind this particular behaviour ?

Retrieve Web User's Identity Outside Of Request Scope?

Feb 14, 2011

I have an ASP.NET app that logs Audit reports using nHibernate's IPreUpdateListener. In order to set the current user in the Listener events, I was using System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(). This works fine when debugging on my machine, but when I move it to the staging server, I'm getting the ASP.NET process credentials, not the requesting user.

In the ASP.NET page, I can use Request.LogonUserIdentity (which works fine since I'm using integrated authentication), but how do I reference this user directly without having to pass it directly to my event? I don't want to have to pass this info through the pipeline because it really doesn't belong in the intermediate events/calls.

Security :: User.Identity.Name In Global.asax

Jun 1, 2010

In the website we have several folders, some folders are accessible by anonymous users, others are accessible by members only, some by administrators or a both administrators and members can view this folder. Each folder contains some forms; these forms are based on the role as well. We'd like to add "user.identity" as to authenticate the user based on the user_id from table websit_ users.

However we are not sure , wither we need to specify each and every form, folder or this will be done automatically once authentication is applied. And where do we put the user.identity and what is the exact format of it. Do we include it in our Global.asax after the authentication part?! This is the code in global.asax:

Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Always Authenticated?

Mar 3, 2011

I am trying to create a httphandler which will intercept a sample pdf file which we have in our website. The httphandler works fine from within my development machine and even my locally published website that if I just try to connect to the test url: [URL] I will get sent to the invalid access page. So pushing it to our IIS6 machine when I try to go to the URL it serves up the PDF document. context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is always showing as true. I'm using forms authentication. below is the code I am using as the handler.

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
if (context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
string SampleURL = context.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
context.Response.Buffer = true;
context.Response.Clear();
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(SampleURL),FileMode.Open))
{
int length = (int)fs.Length;
byte[] buffer;
using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs))
{
buffer = br.ReadBytes(length);
}
context.Response.Clear();
context.Response.Buffer = true;
context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
context.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
context.Response.End();
}
}
else
{
context.Response.Redirect(
"~/Error/invalid_access.aspx");
}}

in web.config I have the following for form authentication:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="Sample.Web" loginUrl="~/Security/" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx" protection="All" timeout="60" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" enableCrossAppRedirects="false" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" domain="">
</forms>

Saving The Login Name As Current User Identity?

Mar 1, 2011

So I'm making a asp.net login. I want the login name that people use to match an id in my SQL database. So that I can retrieve their information. But currently when I use the code below, from which I get the name of the computer I am currently on. However I would like the user Identity to be what they write in the username textbox at the login screen.

If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
Dim userName As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
Response.Write(userName)
End If

So I looked for it on net and I think it might have something to do with my web.config file. As I'm totally new to asp.net I wouldn't know. However here's a part of my Web.config file.
