Security :: Database Connection Authentication Using URL?
Aug 14, 2010
I wish to create a Single Login Page for the Various Applicatioins i am creating and So i wish to authenticate the Database connection in these other Web Forms (Landing Page) from the url.
In the web.config, how do add a connection string by using a window authentication with the username and password? I have tried like this and it keeps ignoring the username and password
I have a requirement I should connect to MS SQL server under IIS Application pool account from ASP.NET application where Windows Authentication is enabled. I cannot use user name and password in connection string.
ASP.NET application should use Entity Framework 4.0 to work with data.
I have an application that has a user Login Control (provided by ASP). I am just now working with the integration of a dataBase created in MS visual studio 2010, to a developed website created in MS visual web developer 2010. My main goal is to create an authentication ticket that enables a user to be able to see a dataBase information only after that user has been successfully authenticated.
Up to now I'm able to see the dataBase when i run the website even if I'm not log-in, how i can create a home page that tells the user to log-in and once that user has successfully log-in it redirects the user to another page where the user can see the database and how I can add information to that dataBase only to specific members
Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I don't know where to go next as this error message does't give many leads. I have already configured that database with the aspnet_regsql tool. In SQL Mngt. Studio I can see that the database aspnetdb has been created. I'm not sure where to go from here. The only connection string in my web.config file is the one for connecting to my content database.
Currently I'm learning on one of Joe Stagner video "SEC-009-CreateMembershipSchema" I followed exactly as told except for that Joe's is building the database in his JoeStagner server and not JoeStagnerSQLEXPRESS. But in my case I built my database in my MACHINENAMESQLEXPRESS. Another different thing is Joe's using SQL Management 2005 and I'm using the free version of SQL management 2008.
So I followed every step, inch by inch but when I tried to run a test on the AspNetSqlProvider, I'm getting this error Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
here's the connection string I added in just like in Joe's video
when using Forms Authentication to validate against a SQL database, all the Forms Authentication samples utilizes the connection string from the web.config file. Is there a way of specifying the connection string for Forms Authentication to use, programatically at runtime?
Without going into great details, my web app will be utilizing different databases depending upon other factors. So, sometimes, the app will be utilizing Database1, and other times, Database2. Both databases will have the same Forms Authentication tables, just different values.I'm hoping there is a simple way of just specifying the database connection string to utilize, without having to go so far as to start implementing my own custom providers. Yet, I haven't come across any documentation that talks about how to do that (yet).
I am developing a web application which requires user to login. There will be N number of users using website concurrently. We have a MySQL database which will store user information like Name, User ID, Password etc. I am not able to understand on how to check username and password once they enter data using Login form which will be present in DB.
i am receiving this error when trying to use my membership provider: After googling the error most peoples problems are fixed by removing the old connection string first but this has not worked for me.
I have used a simple custom memberhip provider with one table.
On shared hosting with 123-reg.
The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.
I have a very basic web site that uses a standard login control. It was original built using ASP.NET 2.0, and when I preformed a few site improvments, VS 2010 upgraded the site to version 4.0. Locally, everything is fine. But live, everything is working except the login authentication. All other pages that use the database work fine.
does the upgrade process affect the database? As this is the only thing I've not replaced on the live server.
The error I get with the login is:

I am using Forms Based Authentication. I have extended the Forms Authentication Tables creating a custom table called Profile_Contact that holds the user's GUID, username, email address, and other information. I have another table called Profile_Account which holds company account information such as Company Name, address info, phone numbers etc. This table has a Key Field called IDProfileAccount. I include the IDProfileAccount field in the ProfileContact user table so I can associate the user with a specific Company. For the login page, I am using a basic login page created with using the Visual Studio login controls. When the user logs in, they are sent to the appropriate page as identified by the role the user has been given. This all works great.
Now I need to extend the login page so that when the user logs in not only is the user's name and GUID placed in session, I would also like to have the IDProfileAccount record placed in session as well so that I can filter the records the user sees as only those records of the Company the user is associated with. I know how to add static variable to a session and how to retrieve them to filter data, what I need to know is how to retrieve the data from the SQL table on login and sending it to the session. I would think it would be something along these lines:
I created a database for user authentication. After I pass loging parameters to the stored procedure in the database and they return a user ID for that user I use the following line for authentication:
[Code]....
User gets authenticated but the problem is that ASP.NET does not recognise the user as authenticated until the page is refreshed.
I am building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I am trying to set up my intranet site so the user logs in with his windows domain account and that account is passed to the sql database to access the database. I have been able to succesfully set up the windows authentication to my website, but when I try to use
<identity impersonate="true"/>
in my webconfig I get a 500 errror on my site when trying to open any page. My server is 2008 R2
I have the following implementation and I'm sure there is an easy way to do what I want to do but I can't figure it out.
1. I use forms based authentication to authenticate to my site
2. I use active directory to authenticate the users
3. I use the Allow Users="xxx" tag to authorize the users limited to the list that can access my site. (e.g.. even though Mary is an AD user she can't access my site unless I put her credentials in the allow users tag in the web.config file)
All is working well but I want to move the users access list (e.g.. <allow users="john" />" from the web.config to a database table so that I can create a user maintenance page for my admins to add and delete user access. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this and I can't seem to find an article on it either.
I am using VS2008 and oracle 10g ODP.Net. The oracle database that I used in the connection is working and tested it using sql plus.The connection string when used in a GriDView works perfectly. Now when I created a new listview control with the same connection it gives an error.Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection. Please make sure connection settings are correct and the database is online

This could be very straight forward for some of you, but I got caught up. I am doing very simple test - browsing from IIS Manager to see the default page or "under Construction", however I am being challenged to provide my login credential . When I provide my login credential, I am able to see the default page. I wanted to see the default page without providing my credential since Enable anoymous access + basic authentication I am simply wanted to see the default page asit is working on other servers except this one. I have included screen print to make sure may question is clear.
I set authentication mode to Windows in the web.config and I enable Windows Authentication and disable the Anonymous Authentication in IIS 7 on win 7, but HttpContext.Current.User is always null.It works fine when I host the web app in IIS 6.0.
I have a web farm web project, and want to make sure windows authentication is working well without any problem in web farm, can any one give me some web sites or information about that?
I needed information regarding the capabilities & integration of AzMan tool with Asp.net.Currently, I got a Sharepoint 2007 website along with ASP.NET 2008 where I am using Form Based Authenication.Now, the requirement is any user within a domain registered in AD should be able to login in website through intranet.
Can I acheive this using AzMan, or I need to create two websites one with FBA for internet users and the other one for the intranet users with AD authenication. Also my intenet website is deployed and in use where usermapping and roles are already created, so using this tool what will be the impact on existing webiste.
I have a database which has form authentication tables for an website [let say website A], now I have attached a new website [Website B] to the same database, in this website [Website B] also I have to provide login/authentication which would be separate from the website A authentication system. So I want to have separate table for the users of new website. Specification:
[code]....
will there be any open source membership provider like we have .NET membership provider [form authentication].
