How do I use the FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Username,Password) method to match against the generated Database?..since as far as I have read, it matches the values against the Web.config.
View 1 RepliesI got a username and password field which made by myself and a User database which is all manually made
So now I wish to know how to authenticate user using the username and password data enter by the user and match with the database data to verify user is a member and login?
For what i know, the code should be something like this
SELECT UserName, Password FROM dbo.User WHERE UserName - @UserName
@UserName = ?
How do i assign the value from my username text field to @UserName?
I am trying to implement a small site which requires users to login using Forms based authentication. I have followed the tutorials found on various sites on the net and in particular the one at [URL]
This enabled me to get a sample environment in place but it seems as though I am having a problem authenticating a user for which I know the username and password are correct.
I have a ASP.Net 3.5 site with my login.aspx form in a folder named login, my default.aspx in the root of the site and my protected content in a folder called main.
I am authenticating against a SQL Server Express database, so I have ran the aspnet_regsql.exe command to populate my database.
I have added the following authentication/authorization lines to my web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/login/Default.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name="AppNameCookie"
path="/FormsAuth"
[code]...
I believe that my connection string and my database are ok because if i use the ASP.NET Configuration from within Visual Studio I can create and manage my users and I can also see them in the tables in the SQL Server. Also if I do enter any incorect credentials in my login page the page tells me that the password is incorrect.
The below code and the config works fine, but force to enter user name/password case sensitively, i want to make it non case sensitive.
Code:
protected void LoginButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string uid = UserText.Text.Trim();
string pwd= PwdText.Text.Trim();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(uid) ||
string.IsNullOrEmpty(pwd)).....
I have configured Forms Authentication in my web config file as below.
Following is my code
[Code]....
The issue is that FormsAuthentication.Authenticate never returns true. This is a very simple website with only two pages and no other code(The code too was copied from MSDN).

I Need to Authenticate a User by using FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie and Check User is Authenticated in Another page Load How to Do this anyone?
Login Page
if (txtuname.Text == "mike")
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("mike", true);
Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.DefaultUrl);
}
Welcome Page
PageLoad()
{
}
Im new to stored procedures so this may seem a stupid question. What i'm trying to do is create a procedure that checks if username and password match, if true then reset the failed password counter to '0'.
The problem i get is that it keeps prompting for a userID as a variable, see code:
[Code]....
so I will admit this is a pretty stupid question. To my defense, I have never done it before. So take pity. I followed Joe Stagner's video on using the built-in authentication. Now, I would like to query a database using VB.net codebehind to verify if the user exists. I am clueless. Yes, I have a connection string already.

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?
Just a quick question i've been asked to look at enhancing security but encrypting passwords we store in a db table, essentially the data thats linked to the user account isnt sensitive however its more to stop someone reading passwords out of the table directly etc
I've read multiple ways of implimenting hashing etc i've started using FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile
//create new salt and update the password
Hashtable newInfo = new Hashtable();
newInfo["salt"] = GenerateFriendlyPassword(5);
string tmppass = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(txtNewPass1.Text.ToString() + newInfo["salt"].ToString(), "SHA1");
newInfo["passwordHash"] = tmppass;
Generate friendly password returns a 5 char string based on a random position in a valid char array containing a - z and 0 - 9At present the functionality is at page level in the code behind, re this is the forms authentication HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile function thread safe? Or do i need to look at implimenting this in a different wayCheers appreciate your response as im always jubious about multi threading etc,
I currently have an odd problem with ASP.Net authentication. Consider the two following lines:
MembershipCreateStatus ct = new MembershipCreateStatus();
Membership.CreateUser("admin", "mypassword", "test@gmail.com", "1", "1", true, out ct);
This does register my user in my database. I have verified this.However, when I run this immediately after:
FormsAuthentication.Authenticate("admin", "mypassword");
The authentication fails. The weird thing is I know for a fact that the user does exist in the db, and that is further confirmed if i run
MembershipUserCollection uc = Membership.FindUsersByName("admin");
and uc does hold my admin user withe all the proper info. why Authenticate would return false?
I am having a issue with my form authenticating the form. I checks to see if there is a password but does not authenticate. Here is my code.

looking on my servers application logs i noticed a contiuous for days now attempts to login to my sql serverReason: Password did not match that for the login provided.
View 3 RepliesI´m building a home page where logged in users shall buy products. To be able to get to the buy page the user already has to be logged in. But when he shall execute the buy he has to reenter his password again to check the user a second time. How do I check if his entered password matches his user password?

View 3 RepliesI am creating a website for reset the password in one of the application from the back end.
I have created a webpage with only one button called "RESET".
If user click the button, it should check the user have already access the application from the "USER" table. If no access, the message appears "You do not have an access."
If yes, next step whether the user have authenticate. If yes update the encrypted password from new table called "UMRESET" to the application table "USER" password.
I am having some trouble with active directory authentication using FormsAuthentication in ASP.NET MVC 2 (VS 2010).
As I understand it I should be able to step into/through the Microsoft source code for FormsAuthentication.Authenticate if I check 'Enable source server support' and 'Enable .Net Framework source stepping' in Options->Debug->General and specify 'Microsoft Symbol Servers' in Options->Debug->Symbols.
I have done this and can step into a whole bunch of MS source code, but not FormsAuthentication.Authenticate. The debugger simple steps over it.
If I could step into FormsAuthentication.Authenticate it would make my life a whole lot easier.
I have created a test user/password on my web site. The intent is to have prospective clients login and try out the tool. Instead of telling them the userid/password of the test user, I'd like to tweak the Login wizard.
In the Load event, I was able to specify login1.UserName = "test user"
But when I try to specify the password, I'm told it is a readonly field. How can I 'force' a specific password? Or, how can I call the login event directly and pass the needed values?
I designed a website, in login page username and password should be encrypted and sent to server for validation. How to do this.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a simple plugin for IE. I need to store a password and username setting for the user who uses the plugin. I know that I can store the username/password in the registry, I can manually encrypt it using the encription classes with .NET, or I can store it in a config file and encrypt the config file. I was wondering if there is a specific pattern/mechanism that I should use to store password and username.
