For a testproject I use two Login pages. I order to do that I use a dispatcher page:
Dispatcher:
[Code]....
I then just redirect in the dispatcher to the real login-page according to the ReturnUrl. So far so good. The only problem I have is that I don't get redirected to the ReturnUrl once I'm logged in... Of course I add the ReturnUrl to the forwarded Login-Page (/Admin/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=...).
I am having an endless problem with the following.When a user logs in I want him directed to a spesific page an not the ReturnURL. How do I enforce this?I am coding in C#
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble with the ReturnUrl property using forms authentication. If my URL is [URL], the ReturnURL value in the querystring is ignored and it always sends me to the defaultUrl value default.aspx.
login.aspx:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtEmail.Text, chkRememberMe.Checked)
web.config:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name=".ASPXAUTH"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
defaultUrl="default.aspx"

I've got a couple pages in my web app that are used by external applications. They will link to the pages, and pass in various querystring values to allow my app to do the searching and return the results in the page. The problem is, if the user is not yet logged into the web app, they are sent to the login page, and the ReturnURL is truncated to include only the first QueryString value. I lose the rest of the values. So far I haven't figured out a solution to this. Here's a quick example:
The external application links the user to:
[URL]
If the user is not logged in they are sent to the login page, and the current URL looks like this:
[URL]
[Code]....
MyDomain.com. But ReturnUrl has value
[Code]....
I keep redirected to a "401 Unauthorized" page, which is the Login page. It first loads a 302 Found (Failed to load source for: http://localhost:4558) page then
the redirection.
<!--<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Login" timeout="2880"/>
</authentication>-->
Everything works well when I comment the attribute Authentication at web.config or if after I logged-in.
Before this happens, I delete all files at (C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files). Don't you think this is the reason?
I'm under MVC, even if I remove the action filter Authorize(), I still get redirected to 401.

I use VWD 2008 SP1 and MSSQL2005.
I have a test site that is a mirror image of production site.
Today I discovered that after logging in to test site when I try to submit anything from any page I get redirected back to the login page.
The production site is working fine, both sites hosted on windows 2003 servers with IIS and front page extensions 2002 plus asp.net 2.
I have a summary page that has an Add New Record button, andEdit Record butto and a Delete Record button.Every user has ReadOnly access.However, only users with administrators Access Level can add, edit, delete, view.Users with Staffers Access Level can only Add records but cannot delete or edit.So, basically, 2 access Levels, Administrators, Staffers.Administrators can view, add, delete, update records.The rest, Staffers, can only view and Add records.I am struggling to figure this out.I have done this a ton of times using Classic ASP, something like:
If AccessLevel <> "Administrator" Then
Response.Redirect"login.asp" 'so if user has admin password, s/he ccan log in with that.
End if
[code]...
4 different groups will be using the system, each will be redirected to their own summary page based on their groupNumber.All I just want now is to ensure that a user from a particular group is redirected to his/her summary page, then that user is checked again against AccessLevel (view, edit, delete, update).
I have written custom code for login and logout...When use clicks on logout button the current session is closed and user is redirected to a login.aspx page...The problem is that when a user click a back button on internet explorer it the previous page he was navigating is shown to him...(altough he cant perform any operation as session is null and their is condition in page load that if session is null user should be redirected to login page)May i have to clear cache of client ??
View 3 RepliesI am doing a simple secured site using the login control. I would like users to be redirected to their dashboard page once they log in, but after that if they choose to browse I do NOT want them redirected based on their login status. I am using the generic template provided in VWD with the basic login setup in the template including the tabbed ASP menu control - nothing fancy, nothing custom. This is intended to be something very simple and quick. Here is the code I am using for the page load...
[Code]....
So if I do this code WITHOUT the "IsPostBack", logged in users are always redirected to their dashboard and cannot see the hompage. However with that IsPostBack test, the redirect after initial login doesn't work.
I know this is extremely basic and simple, but I am restarting with this stuff after a year away, and I need a nudge.
MVC has a method LogOn in AccountControllers. It has parameter returnUrl to redirect after login. I used this method to redirect to login page and back to previous page after logined by returnUrl parameter.My code in form view
<%= Html.ActionLink("sign in", "LogOn", "Account", new { returnUrl = Request.RawUrl })%>
But it doesn't work
I want to remove "returnurl=/blabla" from address bar when a user want to access to a login required page. Because I'm trying to redirect the user to a static page after login to do some selections.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible clear ReturnUrl from the server? I have a login page where the user logouts and I want to direct them to a specific page but when ReturnURL is set it overrides my redirect page.
Update:Ideally, I will only redirect a user who has just logged out versus someone who has bookmarked OR I will redirect regardless in special cases.So these are the cases:A link or bookmark -> should redirect to specified page in most case.A logout that has a returnurl -> should NOT redirect to the page,A special case -> should always redirect to my special case, i.e when a user needs to see something important
Is there a way to remove the returnurl from the logout/login status control?
my AccountController has this action :
[Code]....
currently, if the login succeds, it redirects to the homepage, but i want to redirect to the string returnURL.
I have such URL
localhost/Login/LogOn?ReturnUrl=/#&q=my%20search%20word&f=1//447044365|2//4
I need to get hash parameters to navigate in the application after authentication.
I try to catch it like this
<input name="returnUrl" value="<%= ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery %>" type="hidden" />
But result is
/Login/LogOn?ReturnUrl=/
I tried to take away "/#" in the URL, then I get whole URL. But I need to use this URL as it is.
I'm building my asp.net 4.0 website with url routing. It works great, except that I have stumbled upon one problem. The problem is that when a logged in user is on one of the non-public pages and gets loged out, the return url is set to the page he or she was previously visiting. When logging in again, the ReturnUrl is non routed url (something like login.aspx?ReturnUrl=somethingsomething). This poses a problem for some of my pages where I have a default value stored in the route; it simply doesn't get picked up with the non routed url of the ReturnUrl.The result is a broken page (404).
View 2 RepliesI am writing an application with UrlRewriter.net and I would like it to be able to redirect from login pages to ReturnUrl's.
What I would like to do is something on the lines of http://www.website.com/loginpage/[EncodedURL] but when I try it, it says "Bad Request".]
I am creating MVC e-commerce website.
There is an "Add to Cart" button on product detail page, and If I click the button, it should be directed to login page.
After I login, it should be re-directed to the product detail page.
"Add to Cart" button is a CartConroller action.
In CartController.cs :
[Code]....
In AccountController.cs :
[Code]....
the product should not be added into the cart before login, so I put [Authorize] on AddToCart action.
however if I click the "add to cart" button, it directs to the login page, and if I login, it gives me an error because it lost all the AddToCart action's parameter information(e.g. Cart cart, int productId, string returnURL)
I'm using ASP.NET Membership and Form Authentication and before redirecting to the returnURL I wanted to validate it. For those unfamiliar with the workflow, basically if you request a page that requires that you are authenticated, you are redirected to a login page. In the URL string you'll see a parameter called returnURL, e.g. [URL]
Whether you use this in a redirect such as Response.Redirect(returnURL) or indirectly through the FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage method, it passes without validating returnURL.
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage does have a security check that it is isn't leaving the domain, but that still doesn't stop someone from putting enough random characters to cause an error.
I tried using System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath(returnURL)) but given enough illegal characters it cause Server.MapPath to error.
Note: URLEncoding doesn't work because we are not cleaning a parameter, but the primary URL.
I am trying to redirect the user to login page with ReturnUrl and with querystring parameters which are already in the url there.But it is getting only first querystring parameter and not others. here is the code:Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx?ReturnUrl="+Request.RawUrl);it is showing correct in login.aspx after redirect but not returning as per querystring parametersI ave also tried other methods e.g.:
Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx?ReturnUrl="+Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath+"?"+Request.QueryString);
i have created a page ate.aspx in a folder ate_secure in default directory http://localhost/. when i try to open ate.aspx, it redirects me to login.aspx, thats ok, but when i fill user name and pass and press login button, it doesn't redirect me to ate.aspx and remains at the login page with no error and all fields blank. everything was working fine till my login page ate.aspx were in the same default directory. but i wanted to use role management so i created a folder ate_secure and put ate.aspx into this folder,
View 4 RepliesIn my app, I use the built-in membership for managing security. If I log into my app using my iPad or iPhone, I see some long string preceding the ReturnUrl. Here's an example of what it looks like: [URL] At that point, I'm at where I wanted to go but I'm logged off. If I try to go to another secure page, I have to log in again. And the cycle starts all over again.
View 2 RepliesI have a website hosted on IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It is run by content management that looks at the url and returns a 401 error if the current user does not have permission to view the page. This gets picked up by the asp.net url authorization module which then kicks the page over to the loginUrl page as specified in the web.config (forms authentication).
This works perfectly on my local machine - which is IIS7 and windows7.
If the url is, say, /612/some-string the user gets directed to the login page at /66/login?ReturnUrl=/612/some-string
The url rewriting looks at the first part of the url for the document id. The real url would be this: index.aspx?documentId=612
Unfortunately, when I deployed this to our staging server, the ReturnUrl isn't the rewritten url, it's the original url. This causes all sorts of problems.
The staging server is also IIS7 with the url rewrite module 2.0 installed. It's Windows 2008 server SP2. Both are running asp.net 3.5.
My only guess is that the machine.config orders the default httpModules differently, and the .net forms authentication module is jumping in before the url has been rewritten.
I'll review that soon, but in the meantime has anyone experienced this problem and solved it?
Update
I also tried changing
Response.StatusCode = 401;
to
FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage();
Which gets me a bit ahead, but still directs the user back to the url that hasn't been rewritten.
I can also do this instead of setting the 401:
string currentPage = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Request.RawUrl);
string loginUrl = FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl + "?ReturnUrl=" + currentPage;
Response.Redirect(loginUrl);
But this seems ugly.
I'm using an API which, given a url, redirects to a file on the server. The file names have "_s,_m and _l" appended to the end (small, medium, large). However, since the url's querystring is parsed dynamically, I don't retrieve the actual file name. The image displays correctly, but is it possible to retrieve the filename of the image file from the code? (i.e. where the url has redirected to)?
e.g. http://api.somesite.com/getimage?small (this is what I enter) "http://somesite.com/images/userimage_s.png" (this is where it redirects to. I would like to get this address from code)
I have a loginStatus control, if user click "Login", it will go to the login page, and usually followed by "ReturnUrl": for example:
Before I hit the "Login", the page is:
[URL]
After I click the "Login", the URL is:
[URL]
As you can see the parameter value 1008 is gone. Have searched for a while, one article mentioned:
"ASP.NET's login controls use a ReturnUrl, but don't keep the parameters in this URL".
How can i keep the id number (1008) in the ReturnURL? or have other way to get around this? can I write my own returnURL? say once user clicks the "Login", I create my own return url, myReturnURL=ReturnUrl=/Books/CodeInBooks.aspx?id=1008
