Security :: Get Windows Domainname And Username Of Logon User
Jan 19, 2011
I'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.
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.
I want to get username and machine name of local computer logon to domain. So, how can I get it?My site has annonymous access checked in IIS. cause this application is for the Internet not our company's Intranet.for example, I logon to domain (test.com) in the local computer name is PC1, with the account and pass is: client1 and 1234567.I visit my website, now I want to get user and computer name to show up on asp.net.
Now my user wants the capability of being able to login to the intranet site as another user. For example, IT guy needs to login on a user's system to set some data.
I have created a standard MS Login Page. However when I try to login on the page I get the message
Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again
I do not have a database (aspnetdb.mdf) storing user information but login against the active directory. Can you use the login form with windows authentication without a database?
If a guest visits the site by using the above mentioned url, the registered user gets an email like one person from the following ip and country visited your website.
if we create folders under the website for the usernames it will be huge in number. Is there any other way to do this.
This is Asp.Net 3.5 + MSSQL 2008. So how can we track it from the url itself.
I am trying to force to show to the Logon popup when the session is timeout in Integrated Windows Authentication Enabled website. The session_timeout is firing during the session timeout, but the User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is true. How force to use the Windows Logon Screen when the session is timeout.
My 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.
I'm running IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 server and running an ASP.NET 4 application which connects to an SQL Server 2005 database on another server. I have my Default.aspx page set to Windows authentication with anonymous access disabled.
When I load up the page it asks for a username and password (as expected), I enter my credentials and it comes up with the following error:Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
If I add the following to my web.config file: <identity impersonate="true"/> then I get the following error:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
And if I add the <identity impersonate> tag set to true and with my username and password included it connects successfully.
I can't leave this in there as I want each user to connect as themselves, so why is the server not using the credentials that I enter when prompted to connect to the database ?
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?
In my Aspnet_Users table I have 2 user with same UserName. Membership.DeleteUser method only can delete user by username. How can I delete user by userid?
I want to capture when a user logs in and his username. I am using a login control inside a anonymous temp[late of a login view control. on the logedin event of the login I have this code:
Dim log As Login = CType(sender, Login) If Not log.UserName = "bcweed@live.ca" Then Dim mil As MailUtility = New MailUtility mil.ClientLogin(log.UserName) End If
but log.username is always empty and so is the page.user.identity.name and the page.user.identity.isauthenticated always returns false this even thouhgt this is the LogedIn event of the login and also I "just loged in" I really did.. is there a way to capture this is the global.asax?
How do I retrieve the UserName for a logged in user? Membership.GetUser().UserName doesn't work for me - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I need it to get the associated UserID which my own db tables use as primary keyFurthermore, as I am a rookie is the best approach to achieve this through LoggedIn as below?
I'm using Membership but allow to change UserName of specified user. I had user named Customer bound to role Customer, and then his username was changed to 123. Then i try to do something to get Roles of this user and get an error or empty result.
I have a directory structure root->admin-> admin operations admin page inherited from a ase page with principla security.demand role = "Admins" i am usinf forms authantication mode. i have also put a web.config file in admin folder, restricting other users. it is working normaly with siteroot/admin. I want to setup a mechanism to admin like siteroot/username/admin I can redirect to page admin but it gives security error, it should redirect to login page instead of if user did not sign in.
I have only username. and want to check and grab the password from the database. It is BEFORE LOGGING IN. so I don't think the build-in asp.net functions could be used, right?
i have probleM to check the login ,but i found one solution in this site.. AVOID MULTIPLE USER LOGIN, ...IS THER ANY OTHER METHOD TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.....
I am using the sqlmembership provider with the login control from the toolbox. I want to capture the validated username after the user is authenticated. I need the username so that when the user adds or modifies a record i can have an audit trail. where is the best place to capture the validated user right after authentication? Ideally, i would like to capture it on the login form but how?
My 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".
