I am designing a website (ASP.NET in VB) and I'd like it to have the following features: to generate a random string to be used as a password. This bit I should be able to manage, the bit I don't have a clue on is how I can pass this to a Windows machine (on a workgroup not AD) to change a user's account password.
View 2 RepliesUsing windows Authentication... is it possible to progrematically change a password?
I tried using several ways to do this. I tried using the ChangePassword control. This tells me that minimun characters is 7 even though I have more then 7 characters... I also tried using this method:
[Code]....
The user is always null... and I am assuming this is because this object is indended to use with Forms authentication.
All I want to do is have an option for users to change passwords. Is this possible with Windows Authentication?
I can recover my password but when I try to change my password to something a bit easier to remember it gives me:
Password incorrect or New Password invalid. New Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.
I just begin creating a website for an organization. First page to be displayed in the login page. I dont have any knowledge in ASP.NET Security. On Login page, i want to display UserName field as disabled with the useralias of the user who currently logged into Windows. Password user has to provide and it should be that user's windows password.
How do i validate that password that user has entered is his windows password?
I have been trying to avoid the windows login userid and password window when I use the Windows Authentication mode for a web site. I need to capture the the windows logon user name without prompting for the user id and password and display that on the web site. I had tried almost everything... changed authentication,security setups on IE and IIS etc... still not being able to avoid the window...

View 8 RepliesI am developing a shopping cart with asp.net and sqlexpress. I am using aspnet authentication components to create a backend page. I designed the site to let in only authorized users in.
Yesterday, I forget my password to login to backend and asked system recover my password. with recover password of the asp.net I was able to receive the temp password. I took that and logged in, of course asp.net forward me to password change component which I am having problem with.
Every time I change my password , password change shows that I was successfull but after clicking on the continiue button password change component comes back. I went to properties of password change component and entered the main default page as destination but it is not helping.
I close the IE clear the cache , even restart the machine. When I login always taking me to the password change page.
I need to look for an example of a web application, preferably ASP.NET but any otherweb language will do, that lets Mac and Windows users change their AD password.
Any technique, application, or source code will be great.
P.S: our Macs are not connected to AD and we also have Windows users.

I have an ASP.NET website under IIS 6. I am developing on a Windows 2003 server slice. The site runs under windows authetnication.I used to be able to access the site on this server slice but now it prompts for a Windows password. When I type my domain password in I still cannot log into the site.I went under security and changed the setting to allow this server as a trusted site but still the same issue, windows prompt for user id and password.
View 1 RepliesI have to use windows login (name,password) for my application.(Intranet)
string strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
It works fine on my system but use the ulr on any other system, it returns the same result(i.e., MY System's name).
I need to send a password from a windows application to the web (asp.net) in order to automatically login the user on the web (e.g.: opening hotmail from windows live messenger).
I thought about hash code, but the problem is: the value will be stored on user browser history (querystring).
how to pass a one-time valid key (a key that is valid for only one use) using querystring?

View 4 RepliesWe have developed a website in asp.net using windows authentication and deployed it on the intranet (IIS v6.0). Most of the times, when users try to access this website they are taken straight to the website, but occasionally some users get a prompt to enter their windows username and password. I understand that this could be caused because of several reasons like:
Cached active directory password. Recently active directory password changed. Active directory account locked out. I want to fix this issue for good because it is annoying the users.
I have an Intranet web site that uses Windows Authentication and when a users password expires the do not get a prompt letting them reset it. We also have OWA and if they go there to check mail, it sends them to a page which allows them to reset it there. How can I trap for expired passwords and allow them to change it like they can with OWA?

1. In the asp.net configuration tool I can create a user without a problem. When I enter the password it performs some validation on it and if I've not entered a reasonably strong password it gives me an error saying "the minimum password length is 7 characters and must contain at least 1 non-alphanumeric character." I've got no problem with this and I don't want to get side-tracked into the merits of password security. Is it possible to change this validation so that it accepts anything I enter? Surely, as weak as it is if I wanted to enter "password" I should be allowed to? Perhaps you can't change it which is fine but if you can how would you go about it?2. If I add an asp change password control to a page I was sort of hoping I might be able to override any global setting (1 above) and find a property that would let me set the pattern at run time? I can't but maybe there is a way to do it in code?

View 1 RepliesI have this code for changing a user's password when they click the password reset button (with extra code to log to ELMAH so I can try to figure out what is going wrong).
This is in ASP.NET MVC 2, using the standard aspnet membership provider, with a simple View like this:
New Password: ______
Confirm Password: ______
[Reset] [Cancel]
The route to this view is `/Account/Reset/guid`, where guid is the user's id in the aspnet membership database.
The key portion of the code is where it calls `user.ChangePassword()`. You can see that it logs a message when successful. The problem is that for some users, the success message is logged, but they can not log in with the new password. For other users it logs the success message and they can log in.
if (user.ChangePassword(pwd, confirmPassword))
{
ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(
new Exception("ResetPassword - changed successfully!"));
return Json(new {
Msg = "You have reset your password successfully." },
JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Edit: Adding a bounty to try to get this solved. This is one of the most annoying problems on my issue list, and I have no idea how to proceed.
