Security :: Assuming Identity Of Other Logged In Users In Web Application
Nov 1, 2010
I have a web application with a login form. A user enters a user name and password. If they exist in the database the user is authenticated using these two lines:
[Code]....
The problem is that when a user logs in at first he is logged in as himself. When navigating on the web application for a while the user assumes the identity of another logged in user. This happens all the time. In my web.config the authentication mode looks like this:
[Code]....
The site does not use ASP.NET session variables. Instead each page initializes a Singleton class, which stores itself in a static class variable, always accessing the users data already read from the database. The Singleton implementation is:
[Code]....
Could the problem with assuming another logged in users "session" be related to static classes in my application or a Forms Authentication configuration or a configuration in IIS (e.g. is it possible for users to have their own process?).

I have a web application using Forms authentication provided by AD. I would like to know if it's possible to use EWS to send mail as the currently logged in user without having to supply credentials, or; would I be required to set up an account with impersonating access which will send mail on behalf of the currently logged in user?

i used security in login page which restricts all users who have not logged in to all pages. I need to restrict specific users to specific pages. I'm not using AspSqlService provider. So i cannot create roles and restrict automatically. And the pictures i use in login page are not visible @ runtime.

I know how to identify the current user during a specific browsing session and can thus control the data, etc, made visible to that individual user. I also know how to find out how many users logged in within the recent past, using:
Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline()
.... which I believe calculates the number of users who have logged in within the past 15 minutes. However, I would like to know if there is any way to identify all the users who are logged in at a point in time. Is this possible?

I am using ASP.Net Forms based security with the login control. On my site a user will make a number of selections that will be written to a database. Is their a unique user id that I can get from the AspNetSqlProvider that I can use to id users in my database? When a user logs back in after being away I want to be able to retireve the users information using this id.

I used [URL] as a guide and have something configured to show me the users which are logged into the system. This uses the aspnet_Users.LastActivityDate column to see when someone last did something on the system. It also uses the userIsOnlineTimeWindow within the web.config to determine whether a user is online or not.
But because of this userIsOnlineTimeWindow limitation of .NET, even when someone logs out of the system or closes their browser window, the system still sees them as being online. Also, if they are on a page and don't do anything for 10 minutes, the system will show them offline until they refresh their page or go to another page. know of a better, more real-time way to tracking users which are logged in, logged out, etc?
I don't want to wait 10 minutes for the system to show that a user is offline and also if there's 10 minutes of inactivity, it shows them being offline.

I have a site where the admin can log in to make changes to his content, but while making changes (using a specific asp.net control) with no page loads or callbacks while editing, the user is sometimes being logged out.
I want to increase the time it takes for the system to wait before logging-out inactive users.
I'm using the standard membership provider.

I have designed a navigation structure that is customisable from within my application and linked to the users role.
So I can restrict what menu items a user gets based on their role.
I have managed to do this quite well using SQL Tables and an ASP.Net Menu.
I can get it to only show the menuitems that are marked active and I have created an Stored procedure to get the menu items for a particular role.
Where I am struggling is getting the Logged On Users Roleid to pass it to the Stored Procedure.
I can get it using a regular aspx page but my menu is on my masterpage and I do not want to have to code it in each and every page.
I even tried to do it with a user-control but same happens. It seems that the User class is just not available when in a masterpage.
how I can pass the roleid from a Class or something or from the page to the masterpage?

I have a Login.aspx in my application.
After users logged in, if they press "back" in the browser, it goes to the Login.aspx page.
But I don't want to show users the Login.aspx page when they are logged in. how to restrict users to see the login.aspx page if they are logged in??
I am using sql role based membership provider and standard login control provided by Visual web developer 2008.

I'm wondering if it's possible to perhaps set something up in the global.asx file or something that will build a list of all currently active user sessions that I can then use to display to a logged in user, who else is currently logged in.
Currently I store my userId's in a session variable Session["IsLoggedIn"], so basically i want to build an global array of some sort that will store all these active userId's.
Let me know if this is possible, or who i would go about accomplishing this sort of thing. BTW, I'm not using asp.net's built in membership thing for login accounts.

In the web.config file i have put some code in so that when users log in they will be re-directed to another part of the website which only registered users can access. for the admin part only the admin can log in and it takes him to the admin section and that works fine. it is only this that is causing me problems.
the code i inserted for which the user needs to be diverted to is:
<location path ="UserLoggedInFindUs.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users ="?"/>

My website security is configured with "Windows Integrated Security" only (anonymous is disabled).
I also want to set a specific account to run the w3wp.exe process using the
Application Pool Identity to a domain account.
Running directly from the server works without any problem but from remote computers I always get the authenticaion window then the 401.1 error (after 3 attempts).
It seems that its the combination of "Windows Integrated Security" along with the "Application Pool Identity" that causes the problem. When I disable one of the two it works properly.
My server is Windows Server 2003 R2, running IIS 6.0.

We are using membership provider for LDAP authentication. It is working as it should.
But what all configuration settings I have to do so that
all the future requests to this application run under the security context of the Logged in user account not through the some default user set in IIS.
We need to have this working because all the permissions on the database are based on the logged in user.
We are using form authentication for LDAP authentication. And having impersonation = true in web.config.

I currently have a client with a SharePoint site that wants to incorporate an (already written) ASP.NET application within a webpart in the SharePoint site. The ASP.net application currently uses an IIS impersonation account to connect to the SQL database.
Some added functionality the client is requesting would require me to grab the user's windows login identity to use the SharePoint UserProfileWebService to query the PropertyPages for that specific user. Because the (already written) ASP.NET application uses impersonation, when I grab the WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, I get the impersonation account and not the actual user's account.
Is there a way to keep the current setup (impersonation account on IIS to connect to SQL) and still grab the logged in user's credentials? Or would a better way about this be to change IIS to consume the Windows Identity of the logged in user and encrypt the connection string in the web.config?

First of all, thank you for the attention.
I am having some trouble, I am very new to asp.net, and the last problem I had, I spent about 59 hours trying to solve, Now I have a new one !
:D well, I guess this is part of the learning process...
Well, in Visual Studio 2010, I clicked New Website. @ C# language, ... The template it gives is pretty nice, it creates a database MDF file, and a login/register setup ready to go !...
You guys can see it live AT CLICK HERE ...
Everything is working, well at least here at the local machine...
There are 2 pages in there, Default.aspX, and About.aspx ... I want to allow ONLY logged in users to view those 2 pages... I tryed a few things, added my account to a role called ADMIN,
In the web.cong I changed Allow"*" to allow"ADMIN" ... still didn't work.. Also, I was trying to avoid using roles for now, and I was trying to find a way to do this for individual pages in the same directory as well... If possible with out touching the web.config file...

Though I have not tried it but i guess asp.net allows us to delete all the users in our application. What i mean is if it allows us to delete all the users, then at 1 point my application might become defunct or I will have to go back into WAT.
In my application only users in admin role are authorised to create new user, but when all user can be deleted, what will hpapen?
And if a user is logged in and deletes himself, he still remains logged in though with restricted access untill manually logout is not pressed.
Do I have to take care of all this code manually?

I have two diffrent webforms (ASP.NET 2.0) applications that both uses the built-in membership provider of asp.net. The two application uses the same database, but is diffrentiated by ApplicationName.
One application is sort of an admintool (AdminApp) of the other application (UserApp).
I am now looking for a way to login to the UserApp from the AdminApp and sort-of impersonate a given user.
I have built an interface to automatically login a user to the UserApp (URL with querystring), but I need to be able to access the username of the refered user in the AdminApp. I was hoping for something like this would work:
Membership.GetApplication("AdminApp").GetUser();
...but I am unable to find something that works.
Is there a solution for my problem? Should I use some other approach?
/D
PS. A fallback solution wouuld ofcourse be to send a username in the auto-login-url-querystring, but that doesn't really sound solid.

I have 2 different website/applications with 2 different asp.net membership databases in the same server. Now my client wanted to create a user in one website and add that person automatically in to the other application/website/database too. Right now my applications create users using asp.net membership and added to its respective databases. Is it possible to create a user from different application using asp.net membership?
