Security :: Adding Custom Membership To Web.config?
Nov 30, 2010
I'm currently writing a website in VWD2010 Express, which requires me to write a custom membership provider.
I've followed the tutorial here [URL] , which seems relatively straight forward.
I am, however, struggling at the stage where the custom membership provider is included in a site. Now obviously the tutorial writer is using a different version of VS to me, so I've had to adapt it somewhat. Instead of building the class as a dll, and referencing that in a new site, I've started a new site from scratch and added the custom membership provider to the Add_Code file (HDIMembershipProvider.vb). It is now required that I add details of the provider to the web.config file, which seems to be where I am encountering problems.
The tutorial requires me to add:
[Code]....
within the System.Web part of the web.config file. However, upon running the site I get the error:
Could not load type 'HDI.AspNet.Membership.HDIMembershipProvider'.
I realise that how you reference the class must have changed since the tutorial was written, but I can't for the life of me find the format I should be using, and trial&error has turned up nothing so far.
This is my first membership provider; I converted the sample provider [URL] to SQL. I created a vb class provider and put it into the App_Code folder. After it was created I tried to modify my webconfig but the error pops up. I don't know what else to try, I don't know if I have missed something
I create custom principal for implement logic for users. In identity I store Id, Name. But it abnormally - this classes must use for authenticate and authorize.
I can implement custom MembershipUser, custom Roles and Membership provider.
There are lots of posts about this issue but I can't work out the answers as most of them are for C# or similar. I'm trying to automatically insert the UserId generated by Membership into a custom table. I have membership working correctly, as well as the custom table (I'm able to insert other things from the registration form). But I can't get it to extract the generated UserId and insert it into the custom table. Here's my code:
[Code]....
As you can see I've experimented with the parameters for inserting the record, but that doesn't work (I get an error about ProviderKey not being a part of system.web.security.membershipuser).
I'm new to ASP.NET and I don't exactly understand some features.
I have a custom membership provider TestMembershipProvider which inherits from MembershipProvider. It has the following CreateUser method:
[Code]....
It's absolutely simple code.Then I have two text boxes (login, password) and the button to register a new user. I thas a following code:
[Code]....
[Code]....
Authentication in web.config is set like this:
[Code]....
No matter what I write into textboxes, following error is being returned:
The password retrieval question provided is invalid.
I don't know why. Either in web.config or in get RequiresQuestionAndAnswer I have false value. When I instantiate my TestMembershipProvider and call CreateUser directly instead of using static Membership.CreateUser, it works fine. Do I have to use instance of my TestMembershipProvider or did I missed anything?
In order to better learn various techniques in ASP.NET development, I've written an ASP.NET app at home, which I use for learning. (It's a simple application we use to track our video library.) When I first started it, I didn't bother with adding membership to it. However, I've recently thought it might be nice to add the ability to allow family members to vote on various movies, etc. In order to track their preferences, I'd need table in the database, etc. (I won't bother going into the details.) So I was thinking that it might be good to add ASP.NET membership to this app, but I've never done that before. Normally, I've only added membership to an ASP.NET app when I was first getting it started; not on an established app. Can I add ASP.NET membership to an older app?
And if the answer to that question is yes, then I would like to use simple Windows authentication. This is a simple peer-to-peer network I've got, everyone has an account (profile) on the box that hosts the ASP.NET app, so I would just use that. Right now this app is an ASP.NET 3.5 app, but I could move it up to ASP.NET 4.0.
I have a custom security module which is retrieving the applicationName of the defalut Membership Provider. I am using this value for convenience only. I mean, sometimes, I will authenticate the user as per "Windows Authentication" where there is no Login Form, and yet, I need to access the "applicationName" of the membership provider.So, in some of my applications, I am not using a memberhsip, and I leave it empty. And I found out that if the <membership> is not defined in web.config, it will default to "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type "System.web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider".I can add an key in <appSettings>, but I like to using the applicationName of the default membership provider, becuase in other applications I am using Forms Authentication, with a custom membership provider.If try to setup a dummy memberyship provider, I will get error that the connection string is empty.How I can set the "applicationName" property in web.config if I am using "Windows" authentication, and I have no membership provider ?
I've change it to passwordStrengthRegularExpression="^(?=.{8,15}$)(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[A-Z]).*" however it still keeps coming up telling me that I need at least 7 characters and one nonAlphaNumberic... I looked at my machine config and made some adjustments there so that
minRequiredPasswordLength="" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="" were blank
I have a small windows forms application that uses the membership provider that is defined in my app.config file. I want to get rid of my app.config file and initialize the membership provider completely from code. The reason behind this is because I want to be able to dynamically connect to different databases containing asp.net user tables and I want the user to be able to enter the desired database information into a text box at run time. Is this possible or is it required that I have an app.config file?
I would like to know simple thing, If i'm adding additional information to UserProfile such as: Country, PhoneNumber etc'.. So, I added a Table In my DB (which also Got all Membership Provider tables...)
UserProfile, and added Stored Procedures for it for Insert / Update... I would like to know, If I need to create in Business Object a Class for Profile Only? (Cause the User is managed Already by the Membership Provider) And Create for it Also in Business Logic -> ProfileManager with Methods that will use the Stored Procedures to Update and Insert Details? Do I need to do it like this? Or there is another way? What's the right way doing it?
I am building a site and I want to use the default membership controls provided with asp.net like Login View Control etc. I don't want to use the ASP.Net Membership DB as I want to use my own Security structure and I don't want to inherit the ASP.Net membership class either. In my case how can I use these controls to aid me like how will a login view control detect if someone is authenticated or not.
The following code is used to add the asp membership tables to an already existing database instead of creating a seperate database for membership and having two databases in the application.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .SQLEXPRESS -U username -P password -d databsename -A all
It works fine by adding the membership tables to the existing database that is located in the c drive, program files sqlserver folder.
But my database however is not in the c drive but located in my asp website app_data folder, so the above code does not give any error and the tables are not added after I run it. how can I now add the membership tables using the above code when my database is located in the website app_data folder,
I have a problem with my membership management. I moved the aspnet membership database to my MSSQL server and I would like to create an add user form not using the CreateUserWizard (I would like to add more information then in the simple CUW). I've created the form and I would like to use the Membership.CreateUser method to add the user. After running the script (VB) the user is available in the aspnet_Users table, also in the aspnet_UserInRoles table but not in the aspnet_Membership table. I'm sure that something is wrong with the configuration, I just can't find what.
I am wondering what's the easiest way to go about doing this. I am using the user signup form control that comes with .net and they can create user through the application and once they do users see the "members area" of my site.
However, they are only trial members. using my paypal form, once they pay for service, they become a paid member.. so I want to keep track of this in the membership table by having a column in that table: bit registeredUser. Do I have to create my own overriden membership class for this, at first I thought there was already a column like this called isApproved, but seems thats for something else because if its set to false user cannot even login.
I have a custom membership project for my asp .net website and I want to use a few custom variables for use in the ValidateUser function, can I set these somewhere like in the OnLoggingIn method of the Login Control?
i'm new to the mvc framework but i used forms authentification in an asp.net webapplication. Because im forced to use Sybase SQL Anywhere server i use membership / profile / role provider from sybase.Why i can't login in the MVC Application? When i create a user via mvc web control i'm logged in. But when i logout and try to login i get a error that username or password is not correct.Maybe someone has an idea? Could it be a problem with the application name? Both have the applicationname " / " ?Both applications has these web.config entries:
ASPNETDB Problem - Unable to connect to SQL Server database
now, after some real soul searching, i managed to get it working, however i want to do the following:
I have a table in a database I created called "Students". Now, I have a studentId and a password in that table. What I want to do is allow users to login using their accounts.
However, I am having real trouble doing this. I want to create a custom membership provider, etc.
I have been crawling through the net looking for ways to do it but some of the sites I visited had too much complicated code.
My question relates to membership providers. I have two websites that run on two different servers. One website is a community website that uses Telligent community server 2007. The other is a website that contains information. I have a form where users can request more information. What I would like to do is when a user requests more information, automatically create a user account in my community website. I was told that I can create a custom asp.net membership provider that will create a new user account in my community website. I have read some info at msdn and asp.net websites, but I am still unclear as to how I can create a custom membership provider that will work across different websites running on different servers.
