Security :: Authentication With ActiveDirectory With Authorization With Custom Role Provider?
Feb 21, 2010
I've just started a small ASP.NET web application. In this project, I need to authenticate the users with Active Driectory. I managed to authenticate the users successfully with Active Directory. But with Authorization with Custom Role Provider, I'm so confused.You see, the user name and password are stored in AD. So, my approach is that after the LoggedIn event of the Login Control, I check if UserName is not yet stored in the Users table yet, then I will store the UserName there. Eventually, I have all the UserName of the AD users store in the Users table so I can assign Roles to the users.
Let's say I assigned UserA to RoleOne. After he logs in successfully, I do some query to look for his Roles.
Where do I keep the Role ticket? In the Cookie or in the session? How does the authorization of ASP.NET role provider work? I want to store the authentication ticket like ASP.NET role prover does too.

I'm creating a custom Role provider based on the ASP.NET Role provider. I have 3 tables. One for Users, one for Roles, one for UsersInRoles.The Users table has no password column because the users are authenticated with ActiveDirectory. That's my approach so far. I can't get the cusstom Role Provider to work, anyone has the same situation like me. How do you make a custom Role provider works with AD?
1. user can login by their AD account and password.
2. AD account can be assigned to different group.
I know there is a training video - [URL] to teach how to use the tool to provision the membership schema to SQL server for Forms authentication. but how can I use AD authentication with this?
i have implemented custom role provider and membership provider .
login page : SignIn.aspx
on successful login it redirects to (index-Homepage.aspx)
now PROBLEM is when it successfully logged in ,and redirects to 'index-Homepage.aspx' it gives Anornymoustemplate ..while its verifying the role correctly in index-Homepage.aspx.cs
In my asp.net website in VS-2005 with SQL-Server 2005 as db, I need to implement role-based Authentication/Authorization.
I am familiar to the practises used in role-based authentication..as I have previously worked on projects that used this method. However, my project lead used to design the database. Now I have an existing website where authentication has been set to anonymous by setting 'allow users="?"' in the authentication tags in web.config.
If I use the createUserWizard control and use the Membership.creatUser(.....) method in code behind will the asp.net security tables, like users, roles, userinrole etc get created on its own?
I am trying to implement a simple role based authorization using forms authentication in ASP.net. It works perfectly fine in my local system but fails when I deploy in production (shared hosting). Whenever I try to log in, rather than taking me to the default page in specified directory it throws me back to the login page. I suspect that there is some issues with the configuration but not sure where the problem is. The code is provided below:
Web.config (root):
[Code]....
Web.config (Member directory):
[Code]....
Login.aspx:
[Code]....
Global.asax:
[Code]....
Works fine in local machine but shared hosting is not taking the authenticated user to the pages inside the secured folders. What can be the issue?
We are trying to implement Custom Role membership provider for our web app. For authorization we want to check for one more field like Facilityid for the logged on user along with role he has. eg. my User1 having Role1 with Facility1 can access some option and same user role for Facility2 have different option. So is there a way we can extend the existing role/profile provider to authorize user with this additional field along with role assigned.
I have a custom role provider and I'm trying to get the IsUserInRole() method to get called when a user of a certain role tries to access a restricted page. However, the method is never called.
[code]...
When the user goes to a restricted page, I'd like the custom role provider to check the user's role and deny/grant access.
I have created custome Membership Role and Profile provider using INGRES db. Now I can see my IngresMembership and IngresRole provider in the Provider tab(Select a different provider for each feature (advanced) ) of WSAT but when I clik on security tab I get this 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: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
What am I missing? Do I need to add code for all override methods for Role provider? I have just written code for the Initialize and GetRolesForUser functions.
I have a custom role provider class that is currently being used by a web application. We are now in the process of migrating several windows applications from VB6 to VB.Net. From preliminary research, I understand that I can use the custom role provider in win forms as well and came across Client Application Services. I understand how the Client Application Services is setup, but can't seem to find how the custom role provider code will be shared between the web apps and the windows apps.
I have a custom oledb role provider that pretty much a cust and past of:
[URL]
except I've used oledb instead of odbc. I'm connecting to an oracle database and the tables have been created with out any issues. now if I go into the Website Administration Tool and try to create a new role I get the error
"Specified cast is not valid."
I can create a role directly in the database (through TOAD) and the role will show up in the .NET WAT, so I know it can make the connection and read the info just fine. I just can't create or delete or modify a role without the above error.
I think I'm missing something simple...I have a customRole Provider set up and it seems to be working fine - I can add/change/delete info using the WAT.For my Authorization I do a custom routine that is separate from the .net provider that basically says the users is or is not authenticated (true/false).If the user IS authorized how do I set the cookie (or whatever) letting .NET know who they are so I can use the roles on a directory level?I know I can use Roles.IsUserInRole on individual pages but I'd like to be able to use directory based authorization too (from the web.config).
There are multiple roles. (Role A, Role B etc) There are multiple input/output fields. (Field A, Field B etc) There are multiple permission levels controlling access to each field. (Read, Direct Edit, Edit With Approval, None) Each role has its own permissions to fields. (Role A has Read Permission to Field A; Role B has Direct Edit permission to Field A etc) Every role can be assigned to users and they are assigned by Geographic information. (User A is assigned to Role A for Continent: Europe - Country: Germany; User B is assigned to Role A for Continent: Europe - Country: France; User A is assigned to Role B for Continent: Europe - Country: France etc) Users can have multiple roles User identity is coming from Windows Authentication.
is it possible to represent this type of kind of multi-layered security model using ASP.NET internal membership/role providers? If so, what should my starting point be? Creating only custom role provider with custom methods and fields be enough?
I am trying to create a Forms Authenticated site and have already used the aspnet_regsql tool to create the necessary logic in my SQL Server DB to hold my data. Now, I am looking to create a custom Membership, User and Role provider for my DB model. I was looking at the following video: [URL]
Now, I get the concept on how to go about it but I notice that this guy uses custom DB Procedures as to the ones that are generated by the aspnet_regsql tool. Can anyone direct me on where I can find info on how to go about building the Membership, User and Role provider class using the DB structure that aspnet_regsql generates? So much junk on google that I am having a hard time finding good guidance.
I have watched the how to video on Creating a Custom Membership provider. So far it works great. My login control interacts well with it etc. Now i've created a Custom Role Provider. I've created a class that inherits the RoleProvider base class and i've added code to each Sub. My question is, what is the best way to implement the role provider, considering I get the Roles etc from the database?
Our team has recently implemented a role permission based authorization so that we can have granular control. This is similar to what Rockford Lhotka suggests herehttp://www.lhotka.net/weblog/PermissionbasedAuthorizationVsRolebasedAuthorization.aspx I have also read about the Claims based authorization which to me looks very similar to what we have. Can some one put in simple terms what the advantages of claims based authorization are.
1 - whats the difference between Role Provider and Membership provider ??
2- If we implement Custom Role Provider or Custom Membership provider then what does this means ? and which Provider do we use when we apply custom role provider or custom membership provider
I have created my own custom role provider class "SGI_RoleProvider" and configured properly.
Everything is working fine.
Suppose that I have added a public method say "SayHello()", then how can i call that. Because if i am using Roles then the method is not displayed. If i am forcefully using that Roles.SayHello() then compiler gives the error.
how can i call this. Because creating a new instance of SGI_RoleProvider is meaningless.
I am implementing a custom role provider in my nhibernate application I have a repository that I call whenever I want to access the nhibernate session. So when my role provider initializes itself
public override void Initialize(string name, System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection config) { base.Initialize(name, config); Repository = new Repository();
Usually in sub-folder we will limit the access right to some roles and this feature requires pre-defined database schema.
However, if i still want to use this role feature of asp.net, but I do not like the pre-define database schema, I want to extract role information from my own database table and bind it to the role.
how to implement a custom role provider which has support for parent and child roles?
I have a requirement to have high level Role permissions as per the usual Role provider functionality. However, I also have a requirement to further breakdown permissions into sub roles. I toyed with the idea of having further role instances for sub permissions but I'd prefer to have a native solution which allows for sub roles.
In this scenario, the "Admin" role is actually 2 distinct roles, one for IT and one for Extranet scenarios. Ideally, there is no association between the 2 "Admin" roles because they are unique sub roles.
[Edit]: Following Igor's comment I feel I should clarify. The aspnetdb is already hosting multiple applications and therefore the use of the Application Name is not possible to segregate the sub roles as it is already being used to seperate the roles by application.
I am new to asp.net and I have a system am trying to edit but each time I debug it, I get errors. The one of the errors is shown below: Server Error in '/starBus' Application.
