We have an application using Windows authentication and have <Domain>olduser account.
We renamed the account in the active directory to <Domain>olduser2
Login to a pc as <Domain>olduser2 and try to access our application.
the problem is we can't login anymore.
when i debug the application, i can see that the HttpContext.User.Identity.Name is still <Domain>olduser.. and not olduser2
I create two pages, the first one is the login page with user name and password textboxes - (not asp login control) , when clicking login button I check the login authentication, if it is true redirect to default page. in the default page if !IsCallBack then i check httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated
if it is false i redirect the user to the login page. but my problem is that the httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated is always false.
Below the section of authentication in web config

We have an SharePoint site no login (anonymous) with a search module using AJAX. Now the users complains that the module isn't working. When I check the code (not developed by me), I find that the code only runs if "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated=true". Could that ever return true on an anonymous site?

It works fine when the url request is "www.mysite.com" but if any one has logged-in using "mysite.com" without a "www" and goes to the page that calls my web service, The HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name gives null. How can I resolve this problem?
View 2 RepliesI have created an ExtendedId class which extends GenericIdentity. (This stores Id as well as name)
In a httpmodule I stored this extended id in Current.User like so:
HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(myExtendedId, roles);
Problem is, later, how do I get at my ExtendedId type again?
If I try this:
ExtendedId eId = (ExtendedId)HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
is possible to create another property like 'userid' as i can access like
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.userid ? if yes , how? (actualy last year i did something like this but i have forgotten
I have identity impersonate = true in the Web.config file. I have integrated security = true in the DB connection string in the Web.config file.Before identity impersonate was true,users were able to access the DB through the web service account (seemingly).Now I get an error which says " Login failed for ... " because I am aware there is no specific account for that user in the permissions for that DB instance.I needed to set identity impersonate = true because the web service does not have access to the Active Directory,which I need to retrieve certain user information.
My question is,does identity impersonate = true override the integrated security and attempt to user the authenticated user's account to connect to the DB? Is there a simple way to prevent this in the Web.config itself?If not,would programatically impersonating the user within the Active Directory query functions and setting identity impersonate = false do the trick here?
I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>
Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.
what is the use formsAuthentication.user.identity
is it one of the property of page
When a user logs in checking the Remember Me box, the LastActivityDate gets updates and Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline() includes them. If they return before the cookie expires, their LastActivityDAte is not updated. Then Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline() does include them.
View 1 RepliesIn the website we have several folders, some folders are accessible by anonymous users, others are accessible by members only, some by administrators or a both administrators and members can view this folder. Each folder contains some forms; these forms are based on the role as well. We'd like to add "user.identity" as to authenticate the user based on the user_id from table websit_ users.
However we are not sure , wither we need to specify each and every form, folder or this will be done automatically once authentication is applied. And where do we put the user.identity and what is the exact format of it. Do we include it in our Global.asax after the authentication part?! This is the code in global.asax:

I was/am struggling with security for my first MVC applicaiton. It worked out great for me, but not for my users. I wanted to use Windows Authentication (and I seem to have that working). But when I was still trying to implement it, I was on one of our users computers where they were logged in. I navigated to the main Index page and used the supplied MVC login link and *MY* credentials. So now every time that user navigates to that page, it logs her in as me. We are using IE8, I have deleted all the cookies, passwords, forms information I can fine through Tools|Internet Options|Tool|Content|AutoComplete.
View 6 RepliesI wanted to be able, as an administrator, to create new users using the createuser wizard. When I use the wizard to add a new user, however, I end up logged in as that user, instead of as my admin account. How do I prevent from being logged in as the user I just created?
View 2 RepliesI'm in the middle of moving a web application from IIS6 to IIS7. I've enabled "Windows Authentication" and added <deny users="?" /> to the authorization section of my web.config file. When the app was running on IIS6 my users where able to access the web app without logging in because their windows login was automatically recognized. This does not seem to be the case in II7. I can not get a value for "Current.User.Identity.Name" in my ASP.Net code.

I have created an asp.net site with anonymous access turned off. Its for an internal (intranet) system which uses User.Identity.Name.ToString() to get the users login windows ID and then displays some records from a datagrid depending on their login ID. Is this secure? Also i am struggling to workout how best to store the result of User.Identity.Name.ToString() as I am not keen on storing it in a hidden text field and would rather not call it all the time unless this is the best way?
View 3 Replieswhen ever i check User.Identity.AuthenticationType the returned string is 'Custom' always, doesn't matter my authentication type is 'Windows' or '''Forms'.
I want to do some different coding in aspx.cs for windows and forms authentication, but i am unable to differentiate between them because 'User.Identity.AuthenticationType' always returns 'Custom'.
To avoid going to the Databse to get the user Id, Id like to append userId to the Context.User.Idenity.name field. This way I can split the returned string to get the UserId without going to the database.
Where can I do this when using the login controls?
Is there some event handler where I can add:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(NamePlusUserID, false);
I have a shared module in an asp.net web app which gets various information about a group or user. Since the Iuser account on the web does not have enough rights to query the AD, I need to supply an appropriate userid and passcode for the directoryentry in the shared code. Since my credentials so the have the appropriate rights to query the AD I like to impersonate myself(user.identity). This works fine for a webpage, but I can't pass the user.identity object to shared code. I get an error. Is there a way to pass the user.identity object to a shared function in another module?
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with security in a web application I am building using Visual Web Developer 2008. I am using Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MYAUTH" timeout="20" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" />
</authentication>
And a SQL Server database with ASP.NET Membership and Roles. I am using the LoginView control with the AnonymousTemplate and LoggedInTemplate to manage the user's interaction with logging in and out. The problem I am having is that I am authenticating the user against the database:
If Membership.ValidateUser(_userName, _txtLoginPass.Text)
Then returns True and:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(_userName, False)
sets the cookie correctly:
FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(_userName, False).Values(0))
{System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket} CookiePath: "/"

but when I check
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated it always returns False.
If done this before and it worked fine. I cannot find any mistake I might have made or where something might have changed between ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5.
I have a page where, when the user has successfully logged in, I store some values in the session.
I then use these values to load an application list page. This page is automatically refreshed after 20.1 minutes, with the sessionstate timeout and forms timeout in web.config set to 20 minutes (with sliding expiration). This means, if the user does not use any page for more than 20 minutes, he is timed out.
My problem is that the User.Identity.IsAuthenticated sometimes returns true, when the session has expired.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
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?
