Security :: Migrating Existing Cleat Text Users Password To Hashed Password Membership Provider?

Sep 9, 2010

I had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.

I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .

Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .

I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.

My problem is as follow.

If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.

also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.

Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.

old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .

Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .

How To Create A Membership Provider Hashed Password Manually

Mar 30, 2010

I'm using a website as a frontend and all users are authenticated with the standard ASP.NET Membership-Provider. Passwords are saved "hashed" within a SQL-Database.Now I want to write a desktop-client with administrative functions. Among other things there should be a method to reset a users password. I can access the database with the saved membership-data, but how can I manually create the password-salt and -hash? Using the System.Web.Membership Namespace seems to be inappropriate so I need to know how to create the salt and hash of the new password manually.

Security :: Password Encryption With Custom Membership Provider?

Oct 12, 2010

I am using a custom membership provider with a custom ValidateUser method. The ValidateUser sends and additional parameter to authenticate my users (Username, Password, and Dealer). I created a custom stored procedure for ValidateUser to call. I copied over all my users from another table and encrypted all the passwords in the aspnet_membership table using the code below. My question is, how do I take the password the user enters in the login form and validate that against what is in my aspnet_membership Here is the code I used to encrypt the passwords (not even sure this was the right way to encrypt. Please tell me if I did this wrong):

public static string EncodePasswordNow(string originalPassword)
{
Byte[] originalBytes;

Web Forms :: Reset Password" Form, The First Text Box Set With TextMode Set To "Password" Is Populated With The Users Saved Password?

Mar 11, 2011

When a user that has their IE set to save passwords hits my "Reset Password" form, the first text box set with TextMode set to "Password" is populated with the users saved password. Understandable, this is not the affect I would like as this is their "old" password. I cannot set the text of a text box with mode set to "Password" (naturally). Does someone know how to suppress or clear this value when IE is saving passwords?

Add Password Requirements To Membership Provider?

Sep 8, 2010

Do I need to make a Custom Membership Provider or is there another way?

I have a project using ASP.NET Forms Authentication and the Microsoft SQL Membership Provider. The website is DONE. I use this provider everywhere. (Register, Login, Forgot Password, etc...) Until now, my website users have not needed complex passwords. The users' passwords were really just pins. The user could select anything for a password in the past. I had almost no restrictions for this website because none of the data is private or personal. However I have received new requirements.

Here are the new password requirements:

Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length. Passwords must be created using 3 of the following 4 character types:

Uppercase
Lowercase
Numeric
Punctuation

Do not use your name or User ID in the password. Do not use old passwords again later. Passwords must be changed at least every 60 days. Passwords may not contain your User ID or any part of your full name. Password history retention will prohibit use of the last 24 passwords. Passwords may be changed by users only once in any 6-day period.

I realize I am going to have to modify all of the following pages: Register, Login, Forgot Password, etc... fortunately I stopped using the default controls a long time ago.

My first thought was that I need to write a Custom Membership Provider. I don't know how to make the standard provider to do most of this. I could write code to do.

Do I modify the aspnet_membership table? Should I add my own table aspnet_something? Can the user profile table be used for this problem? Do I need my own MembershipUser class?

Membership / Show The Password In The (internal) Web Page Where A List Of All Users?

Mar 25, 2010

I'd like to use the ASP.NET membership provider in the following (low-security) scenario...

My company will create and administer user accounts on behalf of our clients. These accounts will likely be shared amongst several people in the client company (is that a problem?).

There will be 2 types of users (2 roles): client and administrator. Administrators are the people within my company that will have special privileges to create client user accounts, etc.

Clients will not be able to self-register. They also won't get to choose their own password, and they should not be able to change their password either, since that will just create confusion where several people are sharing the same account.

My internal users (admins) will set the password for each client. Here's the bit I'm struggling with: if a client phones up and asks to be reminded of their password, how can my admin users find out what the password is? Can I configure the provider to store the password in clear text (or other recoverable form), and if so can I get at the password through the .NET API?

As I said at the outset, this is a low-security application, and so I plan simply to show the password in the (internal) web page where I have a list of all users.

Active Directory/LDAP :: Use Membership But Bypass / Disable Password Usage For Users?

Aug 12, 2010

I have an application that does LDAP authentication. The authentication is done on the code behind page of my Login.aspx page. Once the user passes LDAP authentication, a cookie is set and I redirect:

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text, False)

I would like to setup membership in my application and keep track of some user information. But due to company security requirements, I cannot store user passwords on my application. That must stay on the LDAP server only.Is there a way to store users but disable password storage on the aspnet_membership table?

Old Password Still Working After Password Change In Membership?

Sep 21, 2010

Am using ASP.NET membership authentication in a small website and i just noticed some thing funny during testing. Am trying to enable user to change their login password any time they wish, i dragged a change password control to the form, i changed the password for my test account, but now all passwords are still working.

I can login with the old password as well as the new password with this particular test account. If i try with any other random characters as the new password, i cant successfully login (which OK). But if type the old password, am able to login, if i type the new password, am still able to login, am finding this very strange.

Checking 3 Random Letters From A Hashed Password?

Sep 21, 2010

I have a system where I salt and hash passwords before saving them to the database, using FormsAuthentication in asp.net

What I want to do is, rather than ask the customer for their password each time, I just want 3 random letters from their password. How can I compare this to the hash in the database? Will hashing still work in this case? From what I gather hashing is only designed to be a one way process and shouldn't be decrypted, so is checking 3 random letters for a hash even possible?

How To Set The "weak Password" Error Strings Of A Membership Provider

Jun 16, 2010

I have a membership provider in my web.config with the passwordStrengthRegularExpression attribute set. I dropped an asp:CreateUserWizard in a page and tried to create a user with a weak password (ie didn't match the regex in the web.config). The validation fails and displays the message

Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.

The message corresponds to the default password strength requirement. I know it's using the value I have set in the web.config to validate against but how do I change/set/override the error message that gets displayed when the validation fails?
