I am trying to make a Contact form exclusive for Members. So as my first field (ID=username) I would like some VB script so that when the page loads it can identify the user that is accessing the page and display it in a read-only text ready for submission by email (with the email address and text area, don't worry about these because I know how to add these).
(here is my Contact us page code, nothing special but I'll give you it just in case)

The thing is that I'm creating a community fanpage, I have the membership database installed and I have created user profiles for the users, and it works fine. The thing I can't seem to find anywhere is how to capture the current logged on users username and save is as the author of a post in the database. Like right now, I'm writing a post, and when I click Post it will say it's written by Jeanz91 because I'm the user who's logged in. How do I get my site to do that?

How to retrieve the current authenticated logged in user's email address who is accessing the page.
I have managed to do it with users. How to get the current authenticated user's email address if that makes sense.

Somebody suggested that I should run a query. If you know the user name accessing the page, surely you can take that information, insert it into a query to find out the email address of the user accessing the page. Sounds great but don't have a clue how to do it.
Let me tell you what I need to implement on my company .NET application and I will be more than glad to hear your advise how to do it:
For every user loged-in to the company website, We want to know on which page he is right now. It means, If user X is now on page "1.html", I need to save this information somewhere. If user X after 30-60 seconds going to page "2.html" I want to update it fast where he is now surfing. It means I want to be able to tell at REAL TIME, on each page, Which users are right now observing the page. This is the problem, now I'm looking for the right solution.
If some day my company website will have 400,000 user log-in at the same time, I am going to save to every one of them where he is surfing right now. Maybe I exaggerated, but we do have 45,000 users at the same time on the company web site and the number is growing. I think big so the solution for this problem will be good for a lot of users.
So, my data object for every user should keep this information somewhere:
1. User code (User Number).
2. Which page user is now observing (Page Number).
This object is going to update every 30-60 seconds by using AJAX, so it should be updated fast. It is a lot of reading/writing data. If a user want to see which other users are now on the same page as he his, he will be able to see it, just by going through the whole array of objects.
I don't need this information to be saved in DB, because it doesn't mean anything. It is temporary and changing A LOT. So, I think the right place to do it is using RAM at the the company server, using the Caching Data option. What do you think? Am I wrong?
If I am going to have a data table with lots of records and every record is going to be update every 30-60 seconds. Where should I save all this table data? I am using SQL Server 2008 to save important data as needed, but this data is not important to save, just need to use it for my purpose. Where should I save this data? I think saving it in DB is a bad idea, because of the dynamic update of records every few seconds. I am thinking about 100,000 users who update this table every few seconds. It probably going to kill my DB, so DB is not an option.
What is the right way to implement this kind of thing?
You may think of it like every page is "a chat room" and I want to know who enter now the room (the page), it doesn't have to be completely accurate in time, but approximately.
in order to prepopulate some user information, i used query to search the sharepoint list. my question is how to search loggin user's info in the list. i used following testing query function. it works fine. however, it can only search specific text, cannot be changed according different user.
[Code]....
it is possible to change dynamically the session time for currently logged user. I'm communicating with a WebService which does a long-running task, and while the it sends the final response, I don't want the user to be logged out.
View 2 RepliesI want to check that the user trying to log-in is authenticated and it belongs to a certain role. For this I have wrote the following code
protected void btnLoginButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/
if (this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && this.User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{
Response.Redirect("~/Admin/Default.aspx");
}
if (this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && this.User.IsInRole("Editor"))
{
Response.Redirect("~/Editor/Default.aspx");
}
if (this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && this.User.IsInRole("Moderator"))
{
Response.Redirect("~/Moderator/Default.aspx");
}
}
But when I ran this code it gave me this error error CS1061: 'Page' does not contain a definition for 'User' and no extension method 'User' accepting a first argument of type 'Page' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I have already added following directives to cs page-

using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;

Can anybody tell what directie I should add for "this.User" <P.S> My application is web based and it is in ASP.Net 3.5(C#).
I have below code to display "list of all the online users" inside listBox using Membership function.
Code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!IsPostBack) {
MembershipUserCollection allUser = Membership.GetAllUsers(); // to get all the users
List<MembershipUser> onlineUsers = new List<MembershipUser>(); //creating list of online users
foreach (MembershipUser user in allUser)
[Code] ....
I want to remove that user from the list of online users, who himself has logged in. Example: if I had logged-in with UserName: Admin, then this Admin should not show to me in the list of "online users"
Tried below Code but not working:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!IsPostBack) {
MembershipUserCollection allUser = Membership.GetAllUsers(); // to get all the users
List<MembershipUser> onlineUsers = new List<MembershipUser>(); //creating list of online users
MembershipUser m_user = Membership.GetUser(); //to get self logged-in user

We are using membership provider for LDAP authentication. It is working as it should.
But what all configuration settings I have to do so that
all the future requests to this application run under the security context of the Logged in user account not through the some default user set in IIS.
We need to have this working because all the permissions on the database are based on the logged in user.
We are using form authentication for LDAP authentication. And having impersonation = true in web.config.
I deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder.
So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
Our users are only only allowed to log into our site from one location at a time. If they attempt to login from a second location, how do I log them out of the first location?
View 1 RepliesI have been creating a website using the SQLMembershipProvider. I have been using an administration account to create the back-end system for generating the users fine for about 2 weeks. I now have more users created and I can log in fine. However, when I log in as the newly created users, they can get to the page they are after, but if they refresh the page or redirect to another page, they get redirected to the login page. I have checked permissions, iis recycler, session state and security setting in my web.config (posted below) but nothing has fixed it. It cannot be IIS because it does it on my development machine as well as on the actual webserver and it works fine for the admin user.

I have used membership provider to implement my system. The system administrator can list the users. What I want to do is, administrator should be able to sign-in as the selected user. I can sign out administrator by FormsAuthentication.Signout but how can I sign in as the selected user? Passwords are hashed so I can not retrieve the passwords.
View 3 RepliesI've successfully made a custom membership provider that connects, queries, and updates my custom Oracle database. I found a good sample on MSDN. I also found documentatio on the provider itself. However, I cannot find anywhere example calls you have to make for the different actions within the web pages themselves. Where can I find that?
For example
How do I check if a user is already logged in? What do I do when a user hits the login button? How does each page get the user that is logged in? etc.I am not using the asp login control. I have custom form, custom data, and custom graphics.
All I'm trying to do is pull the current user's login name from Active Directory. I've tried User.Identity.Name.ToString, which returned nothing at all. I tried Environment.UserName.ToString, Which returned "NETWORK SERVICE" which is not the firstname.lastname username that I was expecting.

After the user is created, I set the new user's role, and update a few other items in my database for user tracking, and send out an email to notify the new user of their account status.

My 3.5 app uses Forms Authentication. I create an authentication cookie (ticket) with an expiration date of one day. The cookie's IsPersistent is set to True. I do not use any session variables. Session timeout is the default 20 minutes.
Here's the problem:
When the session times out in 20 minutes, the user is redirected to the logon page even though the authentication cookie has not expired.
Why does this happen? I thought the session and the cookie were independent of each other.
