We have an ASP.NET Web App, where we want to provide a link 'Sign in as a different user' on a page. Authentication mode is Windows. Went through a couple of articles (like setting the statuscode =401). We want to authenticate the user, and then redirect him to a specific page (say 'ReviewTask.aspx');
View 2 RepliesI am evaluating ASP.NET Membership for an intranet Silverlight app. I want users to be automatically authenticated for my application with their windows logon. Thus I configured Windows Authentication. I would like to store user settings like email-address in using the SqlMembershipProvider and not AD. It seems that storing user settings using the SqlMembershipProvider is not supported with Windows Authentication. Is this really so (using .NET 4)?
If so: What is the rationale behind this? IMHO authentication, user settings and authorization are distinct aspects. User settings could easily be stored (identified by user name) using the SqlMembershipProvider with authentication and password management being supplied by Windows. What is the recommended solution for my scenario?

View 4 RepliesI have an Intranet web site that uses Windows Authentication and when a users password expires the do not get a prompt letting them reset it. We also have OWA and if they go there to check mail, it sends them to a page which allows them to reset it there. How can I trap for expired passwords and allow them to change it like they can with OWA?

View 1 Repliesi have a problem with the users authentication on my site. I made <authentication mode="Windows"> in my web.config. The LoginView shows "mycomputermyusername" if i request the page. So far as well. Now i want to login with a different username. Users are stored in an Active Directory. My questions: wich setting i have to do, that user's account and password checked by Active Directory? how can i force the system to make a new login? Logout doesn't work, i always see my on account.

View 2 RepliesWe have a working version of application (Intranet) with uses Windows Authentication deployed in Windows 2003. The application uses HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the logged-in user. Here impersonate is turned off.Right now, we are move to Windows 2008 RC2 where this Windows Authentication problem arised. I have Digest Authentication and Windows Authentication enabled. And also I have enabled Anonymous Authentication enabled to avoid the Login dialog of IIS in the end-user IE. Now I am getting HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name as Empty. When I impersonate using username and password, I am used to login using that user but all the users uses the same user to login.Does any has solution for this?Deployment Server - Windows 2008 RC2 (IIS 7.5)Development - Windows 7 (IIS 7.5)I am new to IIS 7.5. Please give me a solution
View 3 RepliesI am developing one intranet website. Being an intranet application, one of the requirement is to have a single sign on feature.
It means that the windows PC username (i.e the "ctrl + alt + delete" username) is going to be the username for the system.
How do i fetch that username?
I tried the following two ways which are working in debug mode but not on live site.
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User;
Response.Write(user.Identity.Name);
&
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"].ToString());
Both the above method works when i run the page from visual studio.
However when i run the page from IIS or any other server, it gives me a blank value
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?
View 1 RepliesI want to use forms authentication on my ASP.NET MVC site. All I need is a place for users to login, a page to add a user, and a page to edit a user. I'm using all the default ASP.NET forms authentication tables for SQL Server (aspnet_Profile, aspnet_Roles, aspnet_Users, etc.). The only difference is that I've added an Employees table to my database, which contains a FK to aspnet_Users to create a one-to-one relationship. The Employees table contains columns for FirstName, LastName, StartDate, etc. It's a way for me to keep additional information for the users.
I'm having trouble finding any sort of tutorial that would help me build a basic page in MVC, everything I find is for WebForms. For my page to add a user, I'd like there to be fields for the Employees table. I don't know if I can modify the CreateUserWizard to add those fields, or if I'd be better off just creating my own custom page.
I am trying to get the windows authentication for intranet design Codes return userid of my system but when I try the same fron other system, there too they return only my system's Id.
View 4 RepliesI want to know if this kind of authentication is possible.
We have an Active Directory account and that account we are using to log in to windows. I have a simple system that needs authentication using the IIS log in box (i dont know what do you call this but what I know is it only comes out when Anonymous user is unchecked in the IIS configuration.) Now, I want this box to appear before my page and the user will be authenticated and be compare to the user who logged in to the windows. If the user who have been authenticated is the same as the user who logged in to the windwos then we will let him in if not he must be denied in accessing the page.
The first problem I have in my mind is how to code it in asp.net to make an authentication when he will try to access my page.
Second is, let us say we have succeeded to show the authentication box, how can I get the username from the log in box and compare it to the user who logged on in windows. Of course we can get the user id of the logged in user from the windows using User.Identity.Name but how about the username from the log in box.
Note: I will not use log in forms even using https. Just the log in provided by the IIS according to the configuration.
What I want to do is, if userA access the website, then the website will use userA's token to access the SQL server. Site is an intranet site.In web.config,I have
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
Connection string:Data Source=sql;Initial Catalog=xxxxxx;Integrated Security=SSPI;persist security info=False;
IIS:Annoymous login is disabled, Windows authenication is enabled.
SQL server:userA is added as a user to the database.
IIS and SQL server are on different server. Running as userA on another computer, I try to access the website. The website log told me the website was trying to login to the SQL server with NT AuthorityAnnoymous despite I specified to use integrated security and Annoymous login is disabled in IIS.
Form / Windows authentication?
View 3 RepliesI have an application that ran fine on a Win 2003 box using windows authentication. After installing the app on a 32-bit Windows Server 2008 box the users are now prompted for domain credentials every time they call the site. I went into IIS manager for IIS7 and disabled anonymous authentication and enabled windows authentication. What do I need to do here for the user to not be prompted for the credentials?
View 5 RepliesI am developing one portal in asp.net. Im using windows authentication. In our domain, we are give 6 digit number as username. Based on the 6 digit number windows will display the user name. Can I got the user name from asp.net? Im using asp.net with C#.
When I trying with,
WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name - it will return "DomainName123456". Instead of this 6digit number I need the user name. The user name is displaying in start menu.
What's happening is when windows authentication/authorization fails the user get's a login prompt in IE6, IE7 and FireFox. Only when user clicks Cancel button in login prompt they are getting to 401 error page. What I am trying to achieve is to automatically redirect the user to a custom error page when getting 401 error instead of getting login prompt. Is this possible to suppress the login prompt in this scenario or is it this way by design?Here is my setup:I have windows integrated authentication configured in asp.net 2.0 web app.

In IIS I have website Directory Security configured to use Integrated Windows Authentication and disabled Anonymous Authentication
We also have sales rep that take call and use the same website to take the orders.
My boss wants me to allow the SR to only be able to take orders if they are in the network itself. When I ask why he tells me "just because".
I'm sure there's a way but I can't see it at the moment. How do I go by doing that? Also keep in mind that if the SR is outside the intranet, he can't be allowed to enter his active directory login/password (so the login window must not even show).
