I am createing user dynamially with the below code; string MyPassword = Membership.GeneratePassword(8,0).ToString(); Membership.CreateUser(TextBox7.Text, MyPassword, TextBox8.Text); but before I start creating, I would like to check if the user name is used before or not.
View 2 RepliesI have a custom membership user class and custom MembershipProvider working against database. Due to security reasons the user passwords are stored in the database as hashed values. So my procedure
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) is
{
//select hashed password from db
return (EncodePassword(password) == dbpassword)
}

In the site I am building we have standard users and superusers. A superuser can delete another user from the system and this should result in that user being logged out (if he/she is currently logged in). We use the Membership provider. Or actually the superuser doesn´t delete the other user completely but instead sets his/her as inActive by following code:

But, that should not matter... What I want to know is how to make the affected user being logged out. I don´t need a popup or anything to be shown to the other user that he/she is just logged out, it is enough to check if that user is logged in when he/she tries to move to another page on my site.
Is there a membership function to search a username Like this: LIKE '%UserName%' ?
This is not working.

View 1 RepliesI would like to create a sync process between an ADSI table and aspnet Membership using Membership.CreateUser. However, I need to see if a user exists before importing. I can import as long as a user does not exist however I am having trouble checking if users exist and only importing if they do not. Here is my code so far.

When creating a foreign key to the membership user table, is it better to refer to the user_id column or is it ok to use the username column? I assume that the Membership spec enforces uniqueness in the username since there is a method Membership.GetUser(username) that returns one user. Using the id is a bit awkward in code because I have to end up casting all over the place like (int)user.ProviderUserKey. The username would give more information quickly when viewing raw data as well. Just wondering if someone knows a reason why I shouldn't use it as the foreign key.

View 1 Repliesif a user wants to clear their personal information from a page after clicking on a button that they be re-directed to the ASP Login page. This code needs to be developed using Java Script because I want the user to confirm with a confirmation box that they intended to clear their info. I have found resources on MS that pointed to referencing the "System Web Extension" within the Web Config file shown below, which enables Java Script to be able to reference the Authentication Service classes. I am also calling the function show_confirm in the button onclick event to process the message box response.
I also need to redirect a user back to the Login page within this same show_confirm() function without pointing directly to the URL, but instead to the folder where the page is locateded like in VB Server Redirect if possible.
The error message I receive when I run this code is: Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'sys' is undefined.

The passwords are hashed and when i try retrieveing his password i get the error that password retrieval is not available for hashed passwords.

View 2 RepliesI am using Membership provider.. I integrated the aspnet member tables into my database.
I need the user to enter password on a data entry form and validate it against the membership tables.
How can I do this. This is the set up. I have few fields and user enters those fields and also enters the password, and submits the form. It is kind of like signature... i am looking for something like..
If txtPassword.text = membershipprovider password
{
//do this...
}
Is it possible to more fields in User table If yes, how to do that? share sample code. Do we we need to change any membership stored procedures?
