We will put the active directory logon when the user access the website, the user needs to fill in his user name and password.
How do we store/get the details of the logon user once the user is logged in?
Our application lets the administrator create new users. Since the administrator is logged in, I have set Logincreateduser = false so that the administrator is not logged out even after creating the new user.
The problem is :I need the userid of the newly created user to store additional details of the user in another database table. I see that i can get the username using Createuserwizard1.username; but how do I get the userID?
Anyway I can get the object of HTTPRequest? From View or Action? What I want is to read the logon user name and its email address from active directory.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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
which classes/objects store details about the user of a page: things like IP number etc.
View 2 RepliesI am have done a basic asp.net application User Module with out using any authentication classes.
Now I need to store last user login details in my asp page when user performs any operation. and need to show to other User who next login that ( the last user has made changes before ).
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 ?

View 1 RepliesI wanted to post my problem and solution since I've gotten some good information on this board. When deploying my Visual Studio 2008 C# .NET 2.0 web application Production, I encountered some problems, which is not unusual. What was unusual is that my Crystal Reports .NET reports that use the Report Viewer control would not work; they errored out with:
note: Crystal Report works fine in dev environment....
Logon failed. Details: ADO Error Code: 0x Source: ADODB.Connection Description: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed. Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.We are using Oracle 11g 64 bit as database. We establish crystal report database connection by two ways,
1. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
2. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC
but we got the same error in report module when we using two methods.

I 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)
}
[code]....
i have a login form where it validates 'username' and 'password' against a datbase table. After a user logs in, i would like to show their details such as image, name, etc in a detailsview.
View 16 RepliesIm working on an application that has a login section that accepts a username and password. On successful login a userid is returned and encrypted with TripleDesKey. The user details are then stored in a session object. We already have a class library that performs encryption and decryption using a key in the web.config file. I basically want to be able to access the user details of the currently logged in user in a page accessed from the main site that may be in a different domain, but is effectively part of the same site, so I wont have access to the session object from the main site. so basically a user logs in, I have the user details stored in a session object, I also have access to the encrypted userid also in a session object. If a user then clicks a link to another page that is in a different domain, how do I persist the userID?
I suppose I could I tag the encrypted userid to the querystring, but security could be an issue here (even though the id is encrypted, someone could still modify it)
I new to ASP.net and have created the registration form and login using the wizzard. This data is now stored in the relevent tables provided by asp. I also have created an extra table with profile information like address, phone number etc and a USer ID field that links with the aspnet_users table.
I am trying to display the details of the user when they log in so for example...
User logs on, clicks profile page, profile information can be added and viewed.
Now the problem is I am using a Select statement to get the data but when I do a Where statement im not sure what to put to basically say where userid = current user id logged on.
I am trying to edit and update a selected users details, following the tutorial [URL]

Dragged and dropped a login control onto a blank content page. Set up my web.config (i'll include the code for that at the end). It seems to want to use a sql database to store the info. I just want to use the web.config since it's just a single user and a simple site. I thought I could just drag and drop the login control to a page and that would be the end of it (besides setting up the web.config).
Here's what i have in the config file

Ive been exploring the tabls in the membership database to see how they are structured. If i add a new user or update an existing one i see it in the user and membership tables. But i dont understand how to use or store roles. I use the ASP.NET CONFIGURATION toll in the WEBSITE menu to create roles and create access rules, but those roles dont show up in the Roles table in the db!
Yet the roles are stored cause they keep apearing in the ASP.NET CONFIGURATION. How weird is not that? Where is it stored and how can i access it? I need to programatically check if the user who is logged in is in a certain role.
I have spent hours on the forum trying to find this answer. I have a requirement on a project. There is an internal (intranet employees only) site which has much more control over the data etc. and i have an external site (to allow customers to enter usage data). I am using forms auth and hitting a common sql server 2008 db with the standard aspnet schema. I have an internal web server and an external web server both windows 2003. The problem that i am having is that if you are logged into the external site and then open a new ie window and enter into the internal site, even as a different user it logs you out of the external and vice versa. I don't have access to update the machine config.
I started out as a single app in the db but now have seperated into 2 apps and i am able to log in as an external admin and see only the external users and vice versa. Creating a seperate security only db for the external app is not an option because i have a I have the application name listed in the web.config for both internal and external which matches the app name in the aspnet_applications table.

I have an app that uses impersonation to gain access to a database (on server separate from IIS). The app connects to the database using a trusted connection and seems to be working just fine. However, we get these logon failure events in the security event viewer:
[Code]....
It must have something to do with impersonation because the login failure is for the domain account which my app is impersonating under. But again, the app is working fine so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to stop these logon failures.
I'm trying to find out how i store user names and passwords in the web.config file. I have tried looking for documentation on this but haven't found any so far.
I see in the class library it says that the Authenticate method of the FormsAuthentication class is for use in authenticating credentials against those stored in the config file, but i don't know how to store them there to begin with. I want to store two username:password pairs in the web.config file preferably encrypted.
one of these username:password pairs i want to be hard coded. The other i want to be able to be reset with a password reset form which I will code later. I guess there maybe a method for creating a sername:password entry in the web.config which could be used with my password reset form if such a method exists. But I need to know how to hand code the username:password entries into the web.config file to begin with and to beable to create the hard coded pair.
code I need to add to my web.config file i need to add and in what section?
also can you point me in the direction of a method used for creating username:password entries in web.config
