I have created a user account local to my machine. I want to validate this user and his password using C#. I cannot use AD search as this user is local to my machine. I dont want to check his group.
In 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 application which is installed on local pc and is using SQL db. It is a client management system where I want to add capability to register new clients and give them access to my web site which is sharing the same SQL database with local application.
At the moment clients can register on the web site and I have ASP.NET authorisation system set up with aspnetdb_user, aspnetdb_membership and etc tables. But sometimes it happens that I need to register clients on my local application on PC and ideally would like that registration to create online account for the client as well. Then I want to be able to send him user id and password by email and let him know that he has been registered in my database and online account is ready for him as well.
Basically I want to have full synchronization between asp.net membership service and local application through SQL db. As I said both online and local apps are shareing the same SQL database. what would be the best practice to implement it.
I would like to know how to use jQuery's Validate plugin to add rules to validate controls in ASCX custom user control?

I was trying to block an IP for all the web applications on our Win Server 2003 R2 and during the changes I enabled "Secure Server (Require Security)" in "IP Security Policies on A Local Computer". I was doing that through Remote Desktop and my session was locked immediately (although I have an administrator rights). Now I cannot connect to Remote Desktop again (it doesn't even reach the login prompt) and my web applications doesn't work for any IP. Any ideas how I can get out of this weird situation?

View 7 RepliesI want to use C#/ASP.net to find out whether the user browsing the website is on the same network so that certain links are only displayed while in the office (to those who have access to them).
Anyone accessing from within the office will be doing so by going to it's local IP address (i.e. 192.168.x.x) whereas external users will be browsing to the public domain name.
All I need is some way to differentiate between the two types of user.

At one point this was working, but somewhere something happened. What I am trying to do is simply download a page from our local site. I keep getting the 401 unauthorized.
I have tried NetworkCredential("user", "password", "domain")
and
CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
cc.Add(new Uri("http://site/"), "Windows", new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "password", "domain"));
but that didnt work . We are using Windows authentication with no anonymous access.
Here is what was once working:
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
string FileName = Server.MapPath(\App_Data\rpt.htm);
wc.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
wc.DownloadFile("http://site/Report.aspx?OrderNum=7534&Type=inv&BE=1", FileName);
I want to organize twenty-four-hour local network monitoring. Could you tell me about such program? The program has to ping hosts and save results in files on hard drive for viewing.
