Im using forms authentication and im trying to get the current username. I tried using Environment.UserName but I am getting "ASPNET". But if i change my application to windows authentication im getting the true username that is currently logged on. How can I get the true username that is currently logged on in the domain using the forms authentication.
View 3 RepliesI'm using forms authentication in my application but i want to get the active directory domain anme and user name of the logon user. is that possible. The IIS Directory security settings are Anonymous Access allowed and Integrated windows authentication ticked. I tried the following but to no avail
Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name (this is returning the machine name and user name used for anonymous access)
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name -> returning NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE
I have created an intranet site in win 2008 server. Enabled Windows Authentication and disabled Anonymous. I want to get AD logon username(current win logon user).I used HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name and also tried User.Identity.NameI am accessing the site from client machine. I am not getting the client's logon user instead getting the server's logon user. But I want client's logon user only.I just want to get username. I dont need any login screens or bla blaWhen I run in my development system(XP), its working fine.
When I deploy to windows 2008 server, I am getting problem(Getting only the server's logon user instead of getting the client's logon user).So, problem in the server settings. So, any settings I need to set to get this worked?I enabled Windows Authentication for my site in IIS management window. Disabled Anonymous authentication.
How to update username of current logged username?
View 10 RepliesI am using Login control and validationg the user against SQL datasource. below is the code:
Protected
Sub Login1_Authenticate(ByVal sender
As
Object,
ByVal e
As System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs)
Handles Login1.Authenticate
e.Authenticated = IsValidUser()If IsValidUser() =
True
Then
Response.Redirect("Orders.aspx")End
If
End
Sub
Here is IsValidUser
Private Function IsValidUser() As Boolean
Try
Dim sql As String = String.Empty
Dim RecCount As Integer = 0
sql = "Select count(*) from UserLogins where UserName='" & clsDB.RemoveQuote(Me.Login1.UserName.Trim) & "'"
sql = sql & " AND UserPass='" & Me.Login1.Password.Trim & "'"
RecCount = clsDB.ExeScalar(sql)
'If Invalid ==> 0 means no record is being returned by Query
If RecCount = 0 Then
IsValidUser = False
'MessageBox.Show("Invalid User Name/Password.", "Invalid", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop)
Exit Function
End If
If RecCount = 1 Then
IsValidUser = True
Exit Function
End If
'Error handler
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Function
Here comes the problem validation code is working fine and it validates the user and redirects the user to the "Order.aspx" page
For example: I type
Login Name: Nashy
Password: 1234
Order.aspx page has a textbox which supposed to display the current user login name and i am usiong the following code for that
textbox1.text=Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.tostring()
when i test it on my local PC it shows the current user like this DOMAIN ashyMastrew.. what i want that the textbox should disply "nashy" not my current windows login name. and when i deploy it to the server and access it from other pc textbox does not show anything.
I am developing one intranet website. Being an intranet application, one of the requirement is to have a single sign on feature.
It means that the windows PC username (i.e the "ctrl + alt + delete" username) is going to be the username for the system.
How do i fetch that username?
I tried the following two ways which are working in debug mode but not on live site.
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User;
Response.Write(user.Identity.Name);
&
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"].ToString());
Both the above method works when i run the page from visual studio.
However when i run the page from IIS or any other server, it gives me a blank value
I could retrieve current username, but how Could I get CurrentUserID. I ma using builtin asp.net membership provider and UserID field is UniqueIdentifier.
View 5 RepliesMy intranet web application uses Forms Authentication. How do i get the Active directory domain nameusername of the logged in user. The IIS directory security settings for the app are:
Anonymous User Access : Ticked
Integrated Windows Authentication : Ticked
I tried using the following but to no avail
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name ----> returns NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE
Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name -----> returns The username used for anonymous access
ineed to pass this information to an external application for the current user to gain access to the system. Can i untick Anonymous user access in IIS and continue using forms authentication? what are the other options.
this is relatively simple, but how would i go about retrieving the windows login name from the class file in the App_Code folder. I have set up my website to run windows authentication, and can use httpcontext to get windows login name from code beihind, but without passing this to the class everytime, is it possible to get the login name from within the class?

I'm creating an LDAP class that contains a function that returns the managers username of the current user.
I know that I can use the "manager" attribute to return CN="name", OU="group", DC="company" etc.I specifically want the managers username, does anyone know if there is an attribute string that I can send to LDAP that specifically gets the managers username only? If not, is there an alternative method to do so?

View 3 RepliesMy application is windows authenticated. The application pulls JUST the userName from the current windows account. Then I provide site access to this user depending on his account privileges. If his userName belongs to the admins list he is directed to admin screens. If his username belongs to users list he is directed to users screens. I handle this security in C# and some SQL tables(No membership provider and no Active directory security in the app).
I need to be able to prevent multiple concurrent logins for the same userName.
I have set up security on my ASP.NET site and currently have 1 user (soon to be more!). I would like to send the logged-on user's username to a variable, to input this value to a custom-designed stored procedure on my SQL database (for recording search statistics).Does anyone know how I can harness the current logged-on users username? I am using VB. Will the following achieve the result?session(username)If so, how do I implement this? I tried using "Current_User" in the SQL stored procedure, but obviously this did not record the ASP.NET user. Also, if the current user has not logged onto the site, I would like the "username" value to be "annonymous".

I'm trying to add two features to my website using the microsoft built-in login features. One feature I want to change is the validation of the username. By default, it allows pretty much any characters for the username. However, I want to make it so that only alphanumeric characters, and spaces. Also, I want to make it so that usernames MUST begin with a letter. I'm not entirely sure how to do this, In addition, I want to configure it so that once an account is created, a file /users/(their username)/(their username).aspx created once they are authenticated, with the master page set to userProfileMaster.master
