Security :: Sorting Functionality With GetAllUsers Method?
Dec 11, 2010
I want to get my user list provided by ASP.net membership provider with the GetAllUsers method.
This method has the paging support but I did not see any sorting support. Which means that this will sort the rows with default columns. But I want to customize it and sort the rows by my define column.
In addition, as I have already mentioned that I will implement paging and sorting both features so I want to implement the sorting feature at database end so that only filtered rows are fetched by application.
I have a problem with Membership in ASP.NET. I'm using membership on my website. So far, I can create user and login using the created user account.
Then, I want to create an Administration Page which will display all users created in my membership DB (ASPNETDB).
I designed the layout and I want to display all the created users on a ListBox.
In the code behind, in Page_Load event procedure, I use this code:
[Code]....
When I compiled and tried this Admin Page, the Page gave me this error :
Server Error in '/MySite' Application.
Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'GetAllUsers' is not a member of 'Membership'.Source
Error:
[Code]....
I think GetAllUsers() is a static member of Membership class, which we can use directly to get all the users in membership system.
In our asp.net application, we use Membership.GetAllUsers() in order to allow the administrator work with the site's membership.
Is there a way to filter the rows returned by Membership.GetAllUsers() method? I'd like to be able to have a textbox where (part of) the user's first name / last name is entered and then call GetAllUsers() - or a different method - to get only the users whose name begins with value in the text box.
I have a contract budget management program where hours to be worked (within various contracts' period-of-performance) are computed. These projected hours are displayedto the employee in a gridview on their timesheet (web program) to be used as a guide for charging hours worked. A new FIO bought well-known accounting software with it's own timesheet function but without the budget function. I'm trying to figure out the best way to present the projected hours on the same web page as the 3rd party timesheet (I don't have control of the latter; it's just a URL). In ASP days I would have built an I-frame. Evidently an earlier version of .Net had <frameset> function but that is obsolete. What is the best way to accomplish my goal?
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CustomPanel.ascx.cs" CodeFile="CustomPanel.ascx.cs" CodeFileBaseClass="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel" Inherits="MyProject.CustomPanel" %> ... namespace MyProject { public partial class CustomPanel : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel { ... } }
However, I'm really not sure how to proceed from here, because this does not appear to follow a logical inheritance path that includes System.Web.UI.UserControl / Am I doing something wrong? How can I inherit Panel and extend standard event-handlers, such as PreInit?
I am using a listview to which I want to bind the MembershipUserCollection which you get from GetAllUsers(). I don't want to use reflection, I want to assign it in the ItemDataBound event of my listview. I've done this before, but with datatables. The code will be something like DataRow dr = (e.item.DataItem as DataRowView).Row. You can then access specific columns with
dr["ColumnNamehere"].ToString().
But how do you do this with MembershipUserCollection?
I am using membership api in my project.I have customized all the controls.Now i want that user can login on only one machine from same username and password at the same time.If user is trying to login on any machine at that time if he is logged in from another machine.They should get message.They should not be able to log in using same username and password on same time on different machine.
We have an ASP.NET web application that has been around for over 4 years now. The web app uses ASP.NET role management with a custom role provider. The custom role provider connects to a database which includes tables for Users, User Groups, and Roles, with a table linking roles to user groups.
Over the years the application has grown in functionality and roles have been added. We now have around 30 roles and there is a complaint that it's not clear (due to lack of documentation, bad naming or whatever) what functionality a particular role gives a user.
Is there guidance on how to make the relationship between roles and functionality more transparent? list out the application functionality in another table and create a relationship between Role and Functionality. The application security would then be programmed against the items in the Functionality table, and the relationships between role and functionality could be maintained through a UI.
To me this approach doesn't quite fit with the concepts behind ASP.NET role based security. All the framework code methods refer to roles, e.g. "RoleProvider.IsUserInRole(string username, string roleName)" and:
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');
i currently develop an asp.net mvc 2 web app using asp.net membership and role management for authenticating and authorizing my users. I get complaints though that when adding a role to some user, he is not able to see new role assigned functionality, unless he re-enters (logout and login again) the application.
I'm trying to use the Membership.CreateUser method without passing a security question and answer. I set them to string.empty, but no go. I have my provider set to not require a question in my web.config. What am I doing wrong?
Moderators Note: THIS ISSUE IS BIG FOR ME AND EVEN IF POSSIBLE, GET THE REPLY FROM THE DESIGNER OF GRIDVIEW. I have been looking for him for long. I am really fed up with reviewing a good lot of web pages on how we can possibly customize the gridview to enable sorting and paging. So many sites have listed out a lot of information and so many guidances. But the problem is that one works out fine and the other is a burden. I really feel bad about being given the job of customizing this kind of a gridview which has no user friendly approach to it. Also, this control is rendered without the pager links inside the <tfoot> tag. I have tried the Pear Pager in php. It is that good and easy to use and compared to that, the gridview in asp.net is the worst ever control i have ever tried so far.
1. i can use the images to indicate the sorting direction 2. I can have the custom pager like
[code]
<<Previous 1 2 3 .. 7 Next >>.
[/code]
When i click the next when i am viewing the page at 3 , the pager links should change as
[code]
<<Previous 2 3 4 .. 7 Next >>
[/code]
Kindly look into this type of requirement and firstly tell me whether this is possible with the gridview control. I would like this request even to be escalated to the designers of the gridview control also, so that Microsoft comes out with a reply THAT WORKS and not the kind of stuff like surfing through a lot of links and pages and finally wasting a lot of days precious time and still breaking the head with this useless control. I have spent a lot of time in searching for a perfect way. Not writing a code that is non-standard. I am really serious b'cos I have spent weeks in customizing this control. If I dont get a solid reply atleast now, I am going to generate all the output by HTML content by custom coding.
I want to know how can I protect my password in login & register pages because I am not using .net's Login or CreateUserWizard controls.I want an encryption method for this process e.g. when storing password in the database form the register page and when comparing the password with stored password in database to varify a user in login page.
I have few queries regarding installation of SSL certificate.How much time will it take in installing the SSL certificate and getting the IIS https enabled? Is there any risk involved with the installation of SSL certificate that might bring down the applications hosted on the IIS.Will the application hosted on that IIS continue working with HTTP?(I don't want each application to be https enabled.
I am using a standard implementation of the membership provider. I however, need to compare a supplied password (from a textbox) with a saved encrypted password. This is for a new security policy at work.
I've created an Excel spreadsheet for my users to upload into my web application to bulk import memberships and roles into the application. There are up to 4 different roles which users can be members of so I'm using AddUsersToRoles to add the user to one or more roles in one line of code like this: r.AddUsersToRoles(usernames, CreateListOfRoles(Role1, Role2, Role3, Role4))
As this line of code expects a one-dimensional array of roles, I have created a function to take in the roles from my spreadsheet, add them into a one-dimensional array, and return that to the AddUsersToRoles method. The CreateListOfRoles function looks like this: [Code]....
The error that I'm getting though is "System.InvalidCastException: At least one element in the source array could not be cast down to the destination array type." I've stepped through the Function in debug mode and all the values look correct and there are the correct number of items in the array so I don't understand what's going wrong.
I'm currently developing a website using .net MVC 3 and I'm on the authentication layer...Here is the scenario: user is logged with the "remember me" option checked : a user Session is created on the server as well as the authentication cookie on the client side.The Session timeout is set to 20 minutes.After 25 minutes of inactivity the user goes back onto the website and Session, now expired, does not exist anymore but the authentication cookie still exists
I have staff area of my site I am protecting with forms authentication using c# and .Net 4.0. What I want to do is let the staff members register on the site but instead of the confermation email being sent to them I want it sent to me so I can go in and approve it. I have been trying to use the SendingMail method but can not figure out how to get it to email me instead of the person that registered. I have searched around this site and find many topics on the SendingMail method but none seem to properly address my issue.
I'm working on an application that has moderately complex security requirements. Each user can have several permissions like "Load," "Save," etc. Is there a way I can use custom attributes (or perhaps even an ASP.NET built-in security protocol) that will let me hard code a permission requirement above the corresponding method? Then ASP would have to make a call to a security method which I made which can see if the user has that permission in their permission set. For example:
[Code]....
And if the user logged in does not have the permission, fire off some other method that can display an error. I've looked at the role based security that asp.net offers and it doesn't suit our needs because we have many roles and they differ by organization.
I'm trying to use ASP.NET MembershipProvider from an Ajax client (only html, css, js) (login.htm) by using a WCF service (AuthenticationService.svc). When running login.htm I get "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'Login' failed with the following error: -- The server method 'Login' failed."I'm completely stuck what goes wrong here?login.htm
