I am currently developing a web site for our Student Council so members can check in and view the work they've done, sign up for tasks, etc. They will authenticate using their username provided by the school district's AD servers. How can I make it so that only their data shows up when they use their username?

I have been trying to perform security validation in a page using the credentials of the domain users ...
However, when I try to get the value in
Code:
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
is always returned blank.
PS: When I run the code in the IDE is returned "domainuser" ... but when the page is hosted on a IIS server, the returned value is always blank.
I've been researching and I've spent pratically all day on this. Here's my issue. The website uses forms authentication that we authenticate against active directory. I've been attempting to access files we have on a network share and push them down to the user (when they request them) in an http response. I keep getting "Access to the path <unc path> is denied".
Here's the code:

Things I've tried:1) When I add the "Computer" to the permissions of the folder it works and I dont even need to emulate a user (essentially just commenting out this code), but I'm not sure we want to explicitly give the computer access to some of our network shares 2) I've verified it's the correct username and password for the active directory account and that they have permissions on these network shares 3) I've fooled around with the WebProxy class with no luck (as I'm not entirely familiar with it) 4) I've tried impersonating the user by creating a windows token and passing the token as credentials (i've done this with similar websites) with no luck, plus this seemed a bit complicated for something I figured would be relatively easy.Its almost as if, the WebClient class isn't even using the credentials i've passed it.We've got it working now, but only by giving the "Computer" specific permissions on the network shares, which we'd like to avoid.
I have an asp.net application which was working fine with the AppPool Identity set to Netwrok Service or Local System or Local Service. But If I change the app pool identity to a domain account (I am using my account itself) I am unable to access the application from any other machine except the web server.I am using Windows Integrated Authentication.I tried resetting IIS, Restart W3SVC, aspnet_regiis -ga . But no luck.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on an ASP.NET project for the first time in about three years; in the meantime I've been working with Python/Django, PHP and Obj-C. Anyways, picked it right back up... except something that is totally killing me right now, and I have a feeling it must be staring me in the face:
I'm trying to bind to an LDAP server, for the purpose of authenticating users. The way it works here is, you bind on your own credentials, use that to find the Distinguished Name of the user you're authenticating, then you bind again on their DN and their password. If the bind is successful, the password was correct and the user can be authenticated.
Here's the problem - the first bind (on the fixed credentials, the ones with the ability to search for users and their subtrees) works fine. The search works fine. The second bind fails, no matter what, with the LDAP error INVALID_CREDENTIALS. This happens even when completely valid credentials are supplied.
Here's the code, with the usernames and passwords redacted, of course...

When sending email using MailClient, is it possible to have the .From property be for an email of a different domain than the credentials passed to the SMTP server? E.g., my credentials passed in are @mydomain.com, but the .From email is @anotherdomain.com. Or, must they be the same?
View 1 RepliesI have a requirement that whenever a user logs onto a website using forms based authentication [FBA] that the site checks whether they have a related domain NT user record. There will be a matching lookup table between the ASPNETDB membership database and related domain accounts for users.Whenever an FBA user logs in and a related domain account is located then the member should be redirected to an alternative site / URL which is Windows NT authenticated rather than FBA. Before transferring them I would like to be able to pre authenticate them on the windows domain rather than an additional NT Login dialog box coming up and asking them to enter the related NT credentials.Is it possible to programatically preauthenticate using NT credentials before redirecting a user to an NT authenticated site?Note: This isn't technically a single sign on style scenario. The FBA / NT authenticated sites are not related other than the relationship between the original FBA credentials and the NT credentials lookup.
View 1 RepliesMy feeling says it's not posible but anyway I am curious if there is at least a workaround for accomplish this.Basically I am working at my client site and my machine is not connected to the domain.What I want to do is running a web application locally under a domain account, and using the webdev server.The webapp uses the default authentication, windows authentication that is.I tried using impersonation with domainuser & password but I got the following error Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.I have to mention that the username and the password are correct.
View 2 RepliesI have a domain: http://www.mydomain.com. This domain is redirected to http://mydomain.anotherDomain.com.
I user forms authorization, so when the user navigates to Default.aspx he is redirected to Login.aspx. Pretty standard stuff.
On FireFox the user can log in on both on http://www.mydomain.com and http://mydomain.anotherDomain.com.
But with Explorer http://www.mydomain.com doesn't work. I only get the Login.aspx page.
Can it have anything to do with that on http://www.mydomain.com I can't see the filename ('Default.aspx', 'Login.aspx')? How can I enable so the filename is included in the redirected domain?
I have an intranet web application. There are 2 user groups, group A belongs to the domain and group B does not. If I set the IIS to enable anonymous access, Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") always return nothing. If I disable anonymous access and set Integrated Windows authenication, a Windows login prompt will come up if group B's users want to access the website.
How can I setup IIS so that when domain user access the website, it will direct to the main page with Session("user_name") = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). If a user is not a domain user, the website will direct him/her to a login.aspx instead of having the Windows authenication prompt, then set Session("user_name") = txtUserName.Text, and finally redirect to the website main page ?

View 2 RepliesIn my environment, we use Active Directory as our password repository. I'm writing an app that uses the users windows session (windows auth) to authenticate the user. This is working well, but I need to provide a way for users to log in as a different user. I setup a web form to accept a username and password. My question is this, I need a secure way to validate the user's credentials against AD. I cant have the credentials passed as clear text. Ive come across the impersonate user functions, but i'm leary because you have to pass a clear text password into the password field. I know I could also use LDAP, but without a certificate, I know plain LDAP is relatively insecure. Can someone point me in the right direction of a more secure solution to query AD with the credentials?
View 3 RepliesI have an intranet web application, where i have windows authentication = true in web.config.

Takes more time and high cpu usage to validate.
Is there any alternative way to validate credentials or any way to reduce the load and time?
I am building a web application that is limited to one database, thus I cannot use the handy ASP.NET config tool. I am attempting to use SqlClient to authenticate users from a user table I added to my database. Here is the code I have thus far:
[Code]....

In my application, I have users request accounts, and then an admin goes in to approve or reject the account. When the admin approves the account, the create user wizard is used. 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. Here's the kicker: Once this new user is created, the admin, is now logged in as the new user. How is this happening? And how do I stop it? Here is my CreatedUser code, scrubbed of non-pertinent code.

We have an IIS/ASP web page from a vendor that we have just dropped onto a webserver within our company. The ASP pages do not come with any sort of authentication built in, so I am trying to configure the site to prompt for credentials before being accessible. I would like the site to prompt for the credentials in all cases (ie. I don't want Internet Explorer to pass through the credentials of the logged in user). I want authorization to this site to be allowed only to members of a certain security group with Active Directory.
Is there a way to do this? I'm not really an IIS guy, nor an ASP developer, so I'm kind of feeling my way through the dark here.
Based on some searching, I have tried adding the following to the web.config file:

I have also installed the IIS URL authorization role service, and have tried playing around with the authentication settings within IIS, to no avail.
I am using IIS7 on Server 2008.
