I recently added Forms Authentication to a project and set it up by right-clicking on a Login control at design-time, selecting "Administer Web Site," and setting up all the users, roles, etc.
how is this to be done after the site is deployed? Would the webmaster have access to this tool? Is there some other tool available?
In this case I have a system where a user logs in, they get a dashboard and they can see all their related projects. The user can click on the project and open it. (ie /View/79) The problem the user can also just type /View/68 which they are not supposed to be able to view.
Obviously I am aware of how to filter my data, but this application has many many lists of data and it all needs to be scoped to data that user has been allowed to see. I can insert a plethora of joins and wheres in all my queries but.. it's a lot of work and a bit convoluted.So I was wondering what strategies other had used for filtering data based on the user scope.One approach I was thinking of was to extend my user-role-permission model so "permissions" could be assigned to various entitites (like projects). This way, rather than doing a series of joins etc to see confirm a user has been assigned to a project, my join is just onto the EntityPermission table to confirm the user has PermissionX (like: CanView) on that entity. I could either maintain a seperate M2M table for each entity i need to restrict or something a bit more general (but without referential integrity).
Initially, in my solution I had one project, and had set up all that is required for asp.net security, and that includes users and roles and access rules, etc. All of that was and still is working fine.
Now I added another project to my solution, and my first project points to pages in the second project.
The problem is that it seems like the users and roles are not being transferred accross projects. Not sure if I am explaining my problem correctly...if not, feel free to ask...
Its my first time trying to manage users and roles accross projects within a solution.
I've developed a web application and I've added some security features. Now i want to create a page for managing users and user access in my web application.Can anyone suggest some tutorial for managing users and access because i'm new to asp.net.
View 1 RepliesI've been using the CreateUserWizard to create my users as well as to assign them roles/permissions. My problem is that, once created, I have no idea how to edit or delete their details without using the Asp.net Website Administration Tool. Where can I get some extensive but easy to understand literature on the subject?
View 4 RepliesCan anyone point me to a sample admin page for managing users and roles (forms authentication). Something like the security section of the WSAT, but for a finished site.

In the website that I'm developing, I need to send email via GMail for certain cases such as "forgot password". It's working properly on my PC but when I upload it to the server (which has windows 2003 running) I get the the following exception:

View 5 Repliesjust basically as it says in the subject. After I deploy my asp.net 4.0 website, the login control just refreshes itself after a valid username and password have been filled in instead of doing a redirect. The connection to the database works, because I can register and stuff from the database shows up in my website.
View 4 RepliesI have set up a very simple authentication page where the user enters his password and if successful authentication occurs the program allows the user to make use of the controls in the page.
I used ASP.Net Configuration to create the user and roles, SQL Membership Provider for the authentication tables and asp login controls to authenticate.
Is there any way to add users and roles once the project is deployed? Could I use the ASP.Net configuration page? and if so how?
I have to invoke SSIS packages from web service in the most secure way. I think that windows authentication will be secure but i am not sure. I do not have much knowledge about how to achieve this and the information on the internet is very distributed.
View 1 RepliesWe use Sharepoint to control our websites. We build the sites, then load them into the sharepoint server. My question is if I use windows authentication, how can I get my role security in my web config file to coencide with the asp.net controls that use the Forms authentication. Is there a differenence? Our security uses a session variable for security but there is no where to set up their permissions except in active directory. I hope this makes sense because I would like to implement the LoginView with Role groups but how can I give them the role="administrator"? Do I have to go into active directory and give them these permissions(would take awhile due to the size of the company)? Or do I have to set up priveladges in the web.config file for each user(difficult I think)?
View 5 RepliesI'm writing a simple Intranet application using windows authentication. I want to restrict access to Safe/UCantSeeMe.aspx. I am aware of the AuthorizeAttribute, but this only works on methods. I also found a good post on doing this with the MVC pattern, but I'm not using MVC. This can be done with roles in forms based security. I read on MSDN that using windows based security means roles are based on groups, but it doesn't go into any detail. how can I restrict access to Safe/UCantSeeMe.aspx?

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 have implemented role based security in my asp.net 2.0 vb.net application using windows authentication and the windowstokenroleprovider and limiting access to certain pages using the location tag to specific active directory groups.
The issue is that when a user tries to access a page they are not authorized to view it brings up a login prompt and when it does not pass it takes them to the default page that tells them they are not authorized to view the page. I am wondering if there is a way to throw up a custom page that tells them they are not athorized to view the page that I can incorporate into the site itself with the header and so forth? if this page could come up in lieu of the sign in box popping up as well.

In the Roles table there is Role, and RoleType.
I have 3different roles, 2 of which have sub-roles.
Example
Role----------------------Type
Adminstrator
Subscriber---Basic
Subscriber---Business
I need to implement Code Access Security, and URL based security using the roles & types...
For instance, the (Subscriber/Basic) would need to view a different set of pages, and have different access to things then a (Subscriber/Business).
I think I can handle the Code Access security with a custom attribute, but I am unsure to how enforce a User be apart of 2 roles in the URL Authorization.
I am currently using the web.config to deny/allow access to the directories/pages.
e.g.
/Areas/Admin/web.config
[Code]....
Is it possible to force the user to be apart of 2 roles with this technique?
i used security in login page which restricts all users who have not logged in to all pages. I need to restrict specific users to specific pages. I'm not using AspSqlService provider. So i cannot create roles and restrict automatically. And the pictures i use in login page are not visible @ runtime.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a website where it should be possible for registered users to upload word documents. The administration of users is done through Membership and Profiles. When the documents have been uploaded, the following needs to be achieved:Non-registered users should not be allowed to download documents I should be able to control which users that has access to which documents I should be able to register which user downloads which documents I should be able to track how many times a document has been downloaded
Can this be achieved be using Membership and Profiles?
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?

My website security is configured with "Windows Integrated Security" only (anonymous is disabled).
I also want to set a specific account to run the w3wp.exe process using the
Application Pool Identity to a domain account.
Running directly from the server works without any problem but from remote computers I always get the authenticaion window then the 401.1 error (after 3 attempts).
It seems that its the combination of "Windows Integrated Security" along with the "Application Pool Identity" that causes the problem. When I disable one of the two it works properly.
My server is Windows Server 2003 R2, running IIS 6.0.
