Security :: ASPNETDB UserId As UniqueIdentifier?
Sep 14, 2010I'm just curious, why its not bigint or int ? is that because GUID is easy to generate ?

View 8 RepliesIn one of my web app's pages, the code behind needs to grab the UserId of the person logged in, so that it can then be inserted into a table which was added to the original aspnetdb.mdf. This table contains a column with a uniqueidentifier primary key which is in direct relationship with the aspnet_Users table; however I seem to have trouble retrieving the UserId. This table contains the additional information of a user which is not included in the provider, and it has a one-to-one relationship with aspnet_Users.
I hope this makes sense. I haven't written any code for it yet; I'm only at the thinking part of this stage. But my mind keeps going blank.(perhaps I need a break from the solution???).
I am using C# in my Web app's code behind.
I'm trying to insert userid that is a System.Guid into an additional table into the same userid field that is uniqueidentifier. It seems as it cannot insert the System.Guid type there wether I'm passing it directly as the System.Guid or as a String then converting.
<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute _
(System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Insert, True)> _
Public Function InsertUserInterests( _
ByVal strUserId As String, ByVal strCode As String) _
As Boolean
Dim userInter As New DS1.tblUserInterestsDataTable
Dim userInterRow As DS1.tblUserInterestsRow = userInter.NewtblUserInterestsRow
Dim ug As System.Guid = New Guid(strUserId)
userInterRow.UserId = ug ' This didn't go through I beleive
userInterRow.InterestCode = strCode
userInter.AddtblUserInterestsRow(userInterRow)
Dim rowsAffected As Integer = Adapter.Update(userInter)
Return rowsAffected = 1
End Function
I have a database call that is comparing UserID column of two tables. The UserID is a uniqueidentifier. The page errors on the r.read() line with Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier. I'm not sure how to code this to avoid the error.
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT a.CenterName FROM Centers a INNER JOIN UserInfo u ON a.CenterID = u.CenterID WHERE u.UserID='{ + SessionManager.UserID + }'";
r = cmd.ExecuteReader();
r.Read();
I am trying to match a username to a userid which are in 2 different sql tables. Here is my select statement:
SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName
FROM aspnet_Users INNER JOIN
aspnet_starterkits_Projects ON aspnet_Users.UserName = aspnet_starterkits_Projects.ProjectManagerId
When I run this i get an error message: "Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier" Is there anyway around this? Or a different select statement etc?

I have setup a Web Site Administration Tool for a web application and it work great
Now i have another custom application that was built on a different server and site but i want to use the users in the existingWeb Site Administration Tool for authentication and authorisation.So i deployed the custom application to the the same server where the Web Site Administration Tool resides. and just changed the connection string to point to the same database.But when i login with a username and pass it says login no correct.http://myserver/IntranetAdminTool/default.aspx?pplicationPhysicalPath=C:Inetpubmyapplication&applicationUrl=/myapplicationwhen i go to the link above it works and i can see all my usershttp://myserver/IntranetAdminTool/default.aspx?pplicationPhysicalPath=C:Inetpubmyapplication2&applicationUrl=/myapplication2When i go to this link i can't see users as its th new custom application i just moved to the site.
I get error There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:Server cannot access application directory 'C:Inetpubmyapplication2'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.Is my approach a resonable one and is this possible?

But these profiles are stores in a string.
Q: How does one get this profile data into a table, or get TSQL to show data in a column format.

View 11 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2008 Express.
I did this simple test:
I created a new Web project with a simple page that has a Log In. There were no databases in App_Data.
I used the configuration tool to create a Role and User.
I refreshed the project folder and behold AspNetDB.mdf has appeared in the App_Data folder.
I have checked the Web.Config file and there is NO Connection string to this database.
So how do I move the Roles/Users application data storage away from AspNetDB.mdf to my own database ?
I am creating a website, where my client is planning to target 1000's or user registrations with their login area etc. Is it a good idea to use role management/aspnetdb for this purpose?
View 9 RepliesI am in the begininng stages of designing (or redisigning) a site. I am using VWD Express 2010 and the project is configured for .net 4.0. I am designing it offline so its currently just on my laptop, which is also running sql server express 2008 R2.
When I ran the ASP.Net Configuration tool, it automatically created a database called aspnetdb in the app_data folder where it stores all the user and roll info. How can I use a different database that has the same schema as well as some additional tables of my own. I want to point it to mylocally running sql server.
Currently in security setting in website configuration, there us only User, Roles, And Access Rules.i want to add Groups as top level for Users. is it possible?

I built a website that tracks submissions online (SQL server express 08 edition). It has its own User table thats linked to other data tables specific to the business of the website. But I found out recently that I can save lot of time by integrating ASP.NET standard Login Controls that can automate lot of coding and make my life easier. Now since then, I added the login controls, integrated the work flow into my website (just user , role navigation so far) and noticed VS creates its own user tables , view, SPs etc. I am okay with that.I need all my submissions to be linked to a particular user that enters each sumission. Now since my user (userid) moved from my personal custom table to a standard ASPNETDB.mdf table... how do I link my original website database and tables to this Default User table / (ASPNETDB.mdf) created by VS.

I currently have a website up and running and working correctly with godaddy.com using the out-of-the box authentication with an aspnetdb sqlserver database. I have users on this site and am very hesitant to change anything with this database or the web.config file from the working site for fear of wrecking it
So, my challenge is that I need to authenticate a separate application using the same aspnetdb.mdf file without any crossover to my 1st application. I've noticed that the ApplicationName that is currently in my aspnetdb database for the working application is just "/". I know that I'll need to have 2 separate entries in the aspnet_Applications table to define these two applications and then somehow register those names within their respective web.config files - but wanted to have step by step instructions on how to this so as to not "break" the 1st working application that is already live.
Can anyone point me to a document on what changes I will need to make?
Also, with the default create user wizards I'm using, how will it know to create the new user information with the correct application ID so that the user information from one application is not visible to managers of the second application and vice/versa?
my current vs2005, when setting up the login control, and using the built in admin the db function right on the
login control, creates the aspnetdb db in the folder, app_data, directly under the vs project folder. I want to get the db
in a folder of my choice under wwwroot in my inetpub. can this be done? otherwise it seems i have to copy the vs version
using my server mgt sql express. i've seen how to respecify the roles and membership functionality from the 4guys article
[URL], which i'm ready to do when the db is moved.
also isn't something like this necessary anyway when moving a vs project to some actual web app server?
