I need to authenticate users based on three parameters such as username, password and officename instead of just username and password. User name is unique only across the single office and not across the application.
Can I achieve this using Membership class and if yes do I need to write any custom code for that?
I'd like to Authenticate Users without having to use a Membership Provider.
What's the easiest way to do this?
I'm looking at returning a DirectoryEntry.
Does anyone know how I can authenticate users based on their Email Address and Password as oppose to Domain, Username and then Password?
View 1 RepliesI have the IIS webserver on Domain A. I have many users on Domain B, C, D, E.
I've set the NTFS security permission for each user and his/her domain to the webserver's security ntfs permission folder. But it is still not authenticating. So what do I need to do to enable this feature? I am using windows 2003 webserver.
I am trying to build a security webservice that gets credentials from client application login Pages/forms and returns authorization and token(to manage session) information after authenticating using Membership provider. I am having a problem in Securing my webservice and using LDAP and Database together as an identity store distinguished based on a flag provided by clint applications.

View 4 RepliesI am working on an app where users are only allowed access if they click through from certain URLs. I.e. I need to authenticate by using the referral url and I am using
Request.UrlReferrer to achieve this.
I am guessing that the Request.UrlReferrer can be tampered with by malicious users to gain access...
we have a web site (Web Site 1) which is presently working and authenticates the users using ASP.Net login control.
We have a new site (Web Site 2) which will have a web page with user name and password fields and these values will be posted to Web Site 1. I am trying to authenticate those user credentials on Web Site1 using
Membership.ValidateUser(UserName, Password); method. but i am keep getting "User AuthenticatedObject reference not set to an instance of an object. " exception.
My application have 2 Roles. Admin and Student. I created some tasks for these 2 roles by using LoginView ( Edit RoleGroup). As user login both can see there allocated tasks.
But I want to allocate some admin tasks to some student(s) not for all. How can I do it?
I have a database of users that we used to have on a different system. The users already have their username and passwords associated with.
Now we are switching the entire system to .Net , and we will be using the membership to authenticate the users and start creating the new users with the wizard.
My question is : how could we import the users from a different database (mysql) , to the membership database on MS SQL ?
And also the passwords on the mysql database are in clear text , when we import them to the membership database on ms sql , is it going to apply the hash on them ?
I currently built a custom form using VS 2005 to accommodate administrators when deleting users from the membership "aspnetdb" database.
I set the method for the objectDataSource to use "DeleteUser(String username, Boolean delete All Related Data), returns Boolean".
When I run the application and click the delete link from my gridview I receive the following error message:
"Value cannot be null. Parameter name: username"
How do I get the value for username?
I have been diligently learning all about the asp.net membership framework and have a test site running it all. However, during my testing, it became apparent that deleting users would be useful. I can delete users from the "aspnet_users" & "aspnet_Membership" tables simply by right-clicking on the table in server explorer, selecting "show table data", highlight the rows and press delete!!
However, this is a pain and I would much rather do this properly from code behind.
I have found out that the membership schema supplies a large number of "stored procedures" including "Delete_Users" however, when I execute this one manually, I have no idea what the last two parameters are (number of tables and something else from memory - the first two "application name" and "username" are easy to copy in to the dialog.
show me a sample set of VB code that I can use behind a "Delete User" button on my webform including how I supply the parameters. I have set up a drop down list box from teh "aspnet_users" table which displays the "UserName" and has as the SelectedValue "UserId".
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 would like to collect all the emails from all users in a certain role. How would I do this ?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to do a bulk insert of data into the aspnet_Membership table. I have existing records from a previous version of the system I am re-building in asp.net. I've been researching and asking questions, but I am still missing something. What is the best way to do this? I believe I need to grab my previous table and iterate over each record and insert into the new membership table via the Membership.CreateUser method. So far I have been unable to make it work. My code so far in the on click event of a button is below.

I have set up Membership and Roles and can create users and login using the ASp Login control. However I need to associate users with customers (in a Customers table in the database) and display content according to the customer that the user belongs to. Is the best way of doing this to create a foreign key field in the aspnet_Users table relating back to Customers table which would have to be updated manually after creating the user or is there a better way?

I had created a Membership ASP.NET 3.5 website and selected the Forms authentication. Therefore, I created several users with related information into the ASPNETDB database. Yesterday, I changed the website security to Windows authentication.
This morning, when reviewing the ASPNETDB data for another website, I still can see those Membership Forms users and their ApplicationIDs in the aspnet_Users and aspnet_membership tables. How can I delete those Forms users?
Another question: In aspnet_Applications table, I can see the ApplicationName (e.g. /WebPartsDemo) for the Web Parts websites. I have 2 ApplicationIDs in the aspnet_Membership table. I can not see only one ApplicationID in the aspnet_Applications table, but with an empty ApplicationName, i.e. / only.
Do I miss something when creating the Membership website? What is the ApplicationName for the Membership website?

I've somehow managed to successfully get Membership working on a test site I'm playing with (learning!). I've reached a point where I can redirect users to another page if they do not have the required level of membership - using the allow feature in a web.config within a folder.What I would like to do now is create a main menu of links (a back office menu visible after the use has logged in), and disable a link if they do not have access to view that page. Is this complex? I'd be grateful for any sample code to get me started.
View 5 RepliesI need to populate a dropdown list with users who match certain role criteria. For example, if I have the following roles: Manager, Employee, Supervisor I would like to populate the list with only the Manager and Employee roles. Some individuals have multiple roles and they should be excluded if they also have the Supervisor role as illustrated below:
Name: A , Role(s): Manager, Employee, Supervisor
Name: B, Role(s): Employee
Name: C, Role(s): Manager, Employee
The final list should only contain names B & C.
I can use Roles.GetUsersInRole("Employee") but I am not sure if this is efficient or not.
