I am developing a web application which requires user to login. There will be N number of users using website concurrently. We have a MySQL database which will store user information like Name, User ID, Password etc. I am not able to understand on how to check username and password once they enter data using Login form which will be present in DB.

We are using membership provider for LDAP authentication. It is working as it should.
But what all configuration settings I have to do so that
all the future requests to this application run under the security context of the Logged in user account not through the some default user set in IIS.
We need to have this working because all the permissions on the database are based on the logged in user.
We are using form authentication for LDAP authentication. And having impersonation = true in web.config.
I have an application that has a user Login Control (provided by ASP). I am just now working with the integration of a dataBase created in MS visual studio 2010, to a developed website created in MS visual web developer 2010. My main goal is to create an authentication ticket that enables a user to be able to see a dataBase information only after that user has been successfully authenticated.
Up to now I'm able to see the dataBase when i run the website even if I'm not log-in, how i can create a home page that tells the user to log-in and once that user has successfully log-in it redirects the user to another page where the user can see the database and how I can add information to that dataBase only to specific members
I have seen some articles about different types of authentication in online. But i have not used any thing particular.I build a web application that user can register and login an after that.In that application when the user comes to loginpage and enter the user name and password and on click of the login button,the validation is done against the data in DataBase. So i am not getting the any idea of form level authentication with the user details in the webconfig file. For what type of applications we use this type of authentication. Can anybody help to get an idea about this authentication.
View 3 RepliesHas Passport authentication been removed from ASP.NET 4? It doesn't appear in the documentation anymore, I can't find the site to download it... It seems like Windows Live ID is replacing it, is it correct?
View 2 RepliesHere's the situation, I've got a console application that needs to run once a day and make a few requests to pages that require authentication to view. The pages are hosted in a really basic ASP.Net Web Application.
So, I know that in order for the requests to go through successfully I have to authenticate with the server. So I've hooked up the console application to the ASP.Net Membership Provider I'm using for the web app and it successfully determines if a set of a credentials are valid. However, after calling Membership.ValidateUser() any requests I make just get the login screen. After doing some reading it seems that this is because I'm missing the important cookie information that persists my login or what-have-you.
I'm using a basic WebClient to make the requests and then reading/discarding the result.
So the meat of the question is this: Is there a simple way to validate the login information and hold on to it so that I can make the requests successfully, or is this the exact same case as the other two questions I found that require the WebClient to make a "manual" login request to the login.aspx page and try to hold on to the cookie from there?
The questions I'm referencing are:

View 4 RepliesI've a project using windows authentication and it will be used in intranet. The client itself already have a web application in their intranet and they built it with Java (they used windows authentication too). The problem occur when they want my web application only appear within their application content section.
What should I do? I did think about using iframe but some people said it's evil. And if I'm going to use iframe, is it save? My web application will use a few pop up window/modal window and ajax.
I am using Windows Integrated Authentication with impersonation for all my web applications (on IIS 7 and 7.5), and everything is perfect.
Now I would like to enhance the authentication procedures bypassing the login prompt from IIS, and supplying a custom page to collect the Username + Password inputs from Users, but still mantaining the Windows Authentication support (I rely on the WindowsPrincipal in my application for many core activities).
I just would like to replace the IIS popup with my custom authentication page.
First of all I have tried to mix the WIA with Forms Authentication, but - even if I succeed in authenticating users against the Active Directory - the result is not what I was looking for, because I want to mantain Windows Authentication and not migrating the mechanism to Forms Authentication (even if implemented with the AD provider).
The first step I am trying is to use the "LogonUser" function to create the correct WindowsPrincipal and then the "Impersonate" method, but after this step I have no idea about how to persist the authentication data andor to pass the User information to the Windows Authentication. As a result, when I execute the first redirection to another page the information about the user manually logged are lost.
I have a web application that is using siteminder for authentication.
I want to redirect to application that is siteminder enabled. This application might be using site minder forms authentication.
What parameters i need to pass to that application? And what details i will need of that application.
I would like to add this feature to my web application, for the end users to chose the type of the authentication either (windows) or (Forms), and add it in the admin setting. This can be done by changing the authentication type programmatically in the code. how can I do this? Note: The user can use one type at time only.
View 1 RepliesI've encountered a problem with intranet ASP.NET Application using AD Form Authentcation. The login and authorization is built using this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316748. It works fine on DEV but not in UAT and PROD.
Basically, the problem is:1. In DEV, users see login page and they enter domain user name and password and login process happens with no issue.
2. But in PROD and UAT, the same application when the users see the login page (first time) and they submit the login form no response. The login button does nothing. The user closes the browser and come back to login page and it works second time. Strange, this doesn't happen in DEV.
3. Further, on DEV by changing the LDAP path to PROD or UAT, the users can still login the first time. It's only the PROd and UAT that seems to be a problem. Not sure whether it's IIS setting or domain policy or something else.....
Not sure what's causing this issue. The only difference that I can see between DEV and UAT/PROD is:
1. DEV has no load balance but UAT and PROD has.
2. In DEV application is installed under Default Website and on PROD/UAT it's under new website.
The IIS settings has been setup as per given KB. I
I'm having trouble with accessing my webservice.
I've got a webapplication and inside this webapplication I have a webservice. An external program is going to use this webservice in the future, but for now that is not the problem. this webservice is also called from inside the webapplication. this is where the problem starts.
I keep getting this error:

I tried with imporsonate= true, but it didn't work

the webservice is called like this:

I'm trying to use ASP.NET WCF Authentication Service from a Winforms Application.
I am referring to this article as a tutorial.
for silverlight clients, the WCF Auth service works well.
but for Winforms Apps,
[Code]....the AuthenticationServiceClient.IsLoggedIn() always returns false even after login.
what is the cause of this and is there another approach I should take when I leverage ASP.NET authentication from Winforms?
I have one webserver alone in the network and all the users authenticate in another server. I'm trying to implement windows authentication in a application in the webserver, but every time that the page loads a login window appears exactly that the windows client was authenticated in the order server. Is It necessary both server stay in the same domain? Is there another way? Finally, I need to get the user id in the windows client, but webserver and domain server don't communicated between itself.

View 1 Replieswhen using Forms Authentication to validate against a SQL database, all the Forms Authentication samples utilizes the connection string from the web.config file. Is there a way of specifying the connection string for Forms Authentication to use, programatically at runtime?
Without going into great details, my web app will be utilizing different databases depending upon other factors. So, sometimes, the app will be utilizing Database1, and other times, Database2. Both databases will have the same Forms Authentication tables, just different values.I'm hoping there is a simple way of just specifying the database connection string to utilize, without having to go so far as to start implementing my own custom providers. Yet, I haven't come across any documentation that talks about how to do that (yet).

I 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.
We're developping an application that uses forms authentication and URL rewriting (www.urlrewriter.net). In order to make extension-less URL rewriting possible we had to add a default application mapping for the asp.net aspnet_isapi.dll.
The problem we're experiencing now is that when the website is accessed by http://www.myapp.com/ then the aspnet_isapi.dll gets the request and forms authentication forwards it to our login site, so the user gets redirected to http://www.myapp.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f instead of having default.aspx displayed (which is allowed to anyone).
Here's the part of web.config dealing with forms auth:
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms slidingExpiration="true" cookieless="UseCookies" defaultUrl="default.aspx" loginUrl="default.aspx" name="gzfb_site_test" timeout="525600"></forms>
</authentication>
</system.web>
<location path="default.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I did quite some research on this problem but didn't find any solution. Is this scenario possible at all, or does default application mapping and forms auth using <deny users="?"/> interfere by design?
P.S. the problems only manifest when running on IIS 6, the ASP.net Development Server handles it without any problems
I have created a web application which has two section user and admin. Admin files are within
~/admin folder and user files are in ~/User folder. Admin and user has two different login page within respective directory.
Now I want two apply form authentication for admin and user section. Is it possible to apply form authentication for two different section in a web application?
I am using Forms Based Authentication. I have extended the Forms Authentication Tables creating a custom table called Profile_Contact that holds the user's GUID, username, email address, and other information. I have another table called Profile_Account which holds company account information such as Company Name, address info, phone numbers etc. This table has a Key Field called IDProfileAccount. I include the IDProfileAccount field in the ProfileContact user table so I can associate the user with a specific Company. For the login page, I am using a basic login page created with using the Visual Studio login controls. When the user logs in, they are sent to the appropriate page as identified by the role the user has been given. This all works great.
Now I need to extend the login page so that when the user logs in not only is the user's name and GUID placed in session, I would also like to have the IDProfileAccount record placed in session as well so that I can filter the records the user sees as only those records of the Company the user is associated with. I know how to add static variable to a session and how to retrieve them to filter data, what I need to know is how to retrieve the data from the SQL table on login and sending it to the session. I would think it would be something along these lines:

I created a database for user authentication. After I pass loging parameters to the stored procedure in the database and they return a user ID for that user I use the following line for authentication:

User gets authenticated but the problem is that ASP.NET does not recognise the user as authenticated until the page is refreshed.
