View 4 RepliesI'm securing an ASP.NET MVC 2 application, and I have a user who is in the role "Foo".
This is true:
User.IsInRole("Foo")
But yet, when I attempt to lock down a controller action like the following, the user is denied:
[Authorize(Roles = "Foo")]
public ActionResult PrivatePage()
{
return View();
}
If IsInRole reports true, why would the Authorize attribute not allow the user in?
My ASP.NET app is using windows authentication. If I run the following code:
WindowsIdentity wi = (WindowsIdentity)User.Identity;
foreach (IdentityReference r in wi.Groups)
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(r.Translate (typeof (NTAccount)).Value);
}
if (User.IsInRole ("Everyone"))
Label1.Text = "Is in role";
The listbox will contain the name of every group the user belongs to. If I then call User.IsInRole, and pass in the name of any of those groups, I always get a false.
My website has a "charts" menu item that lets you choose from about a dozen pages each with a different chart in them. Each one of these pages uses the same nested master page which has some drop-down lists and text boxes to let the visitor do some filtering of what data shows up in the charts (I do this by building SQL statement parts in the nested master page and triggering an event that the chart page reacts to).
Anyway, One of the DropDownList controls shows the names of everyone in the Company (I use MembershipProvider and RoleProvider). What I want to is have the DropDownList show a different collection depending on the role that the visitor is in; If the visitor is in the "Principal" role, I want them to see everyone. If they are not in that role, I want them to get only their own name.
I expect I'd have to do this in code-behind... But thought I'd check to see if anyone knows if it is possible to have an "IF" statement in the SQL DataSource for this control that can refer to the role that the current logged-in user belongs to

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to allow logged user who are in department XYZ to perform some task for my third party App. I have two SQL tables named Users & UserList. The third party app (GoldMine) graps the USERNAME from the Users table and store it as UserID which I then referecnce SessionID. The UserList table has two columns (GM_UserName & Department) which I'm interested in. When a user login into the 3rd party app (GoldMine), i then compare the USERNAME (from Users table) to GM_UserName (from UserList table) and see whether GM_UserName is in = 'Dept XYZ'. Take a look at the SQL query below.
sqlDept = "SELECT USERNAME FROM Users LEFT JOIN UserList ON UserList.GM_UserName=Users.UserName WHERE UserList.Department ='Dept XYZ'"
I'm able to do this.
If Session("Userid") = "TestUser1" Or Session("UserID") = "TestUser2" Then Do this Else Do that End If
BUT unable to do this...
If user's Department = 'Department XYZ' Then
Do This
Else
Do that
End IF
I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>

View 5 RepliesI deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder.
So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
I am createing user dynamially with the below code; string MyPassword = Membership.GeneratePassword(8,0).ToString(); Membership.CreateUser(TextBox7.Text, MyPassword, TextBox8.Text); but before I start creating, I would like to check if the user name is used before or not.

Our application lets the administrator create new users. Since the administrator is logged in, I have set Logincreateduser = false so that the administrator is not logged out even after creating the new user.
The problem is :I need the userid of the newly created user to store additional details of the user in another database table. I see that i can get the username using Createuserwizard1.username; but how do I get the userID?
I have a custom membership user class and custom MembershipProvider working against database. Due to security reasons the user passwords are stored in the database as hashed values. So my procedure
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) is
{
//select hashed password from db
return (EncodePassword(password) == dbpassword)
}

View 7 RepliesOn our website users can sign up. The sign up controls (converted to a template) has the usual text boxes and then the create user button. When pressing this button the account is created. After reloading the website, the user can see his credentials in his 'my account' tab. Question: How can we access the newly created user (especially his userid) right after the create user button was clicked? Right now this does not work, we can only start accessing this after the page has been reloaded. But surely the account is created the instant the button was pressed. I have tried this:
MembershipUser myObject = Membership.GetUser();
UserID = (System.Guid)(myObject.ProviderUserKey);
But it looks as if the user is not yet logged in at this stage. Can this somehow be forced so that we can access the newly created userid right after the user has clicked the create user button?
I am using form authentication in my website. I have a scenario wherein the user is authenticated but the session has timed out. So, i would like to initialize some session variables in Session_Start of Global.asax (First i check if Request.IsAuthenticated=True). For that i required the name of the user who authenticated. On .aspx pages we can get it using Page.User.Identity.Name but how to get it in global.asax page.
View 1 Replies Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.
I used the Create User Control to make a new user.
Is there a similar tool (I did not see one) that allows the user to edit their own profile?
If not what is the best way to do it? I have created user tables in AWAT.
i want to get the username of the people who login suscess in to a textbox, i try to make it through the session , but it s not work , i do it in aspx.vb VS2010

Q: Im a novice with ASP.net. I want to append a UserID to the Context.Identity.User.Name field.
Something like:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName+UserID, false);
Where can I set this code while still using asp.net membership and the login control.
Is it possible to set this in an OnLogin or OnAuthenticate event handler.
Is there someway to see the "login control" code, that way I can just copy it but append my own value when setting the name.
I would like users to upload a profile picture when they register, and to then show that picture in a picture box control when they are logged in based on that specific user.
View 1 RepliesMay i know how i can change postion of Create user button in Create USer Wizard as i want to change according to requirement!
View 4 RepliesI am using a create User Wizard for registering a user and have converted it to a a template to capture additional information. In the CreatedUserEvent handler in Code Behind I am getting the UserName of the new user and their unique GUID key. This is then added to a seperate data table with addditional info captured from the user. The textboxes within the create user Wizard have validation controls. If the user has missed an entry these fire and it shops the process of creating the user.
BUT If I then complete the textboxes and then click submit it says the USER NAME already Exists! This is not what I want as the User just needs to correct the errors in the form and they should be able to keep their iniital User Name choice. Do I need to change the Event handler and if so am I still able to capture the USerName and Key so that I can add the data to the other non membership table.
