Security :: Built-in Membership Framework And Has Implemented Own Provider By Creating A Class That Inherits From MembershipProvider?
Jan 23, 2011
used the built-in Membership framework and has implemented his own provider by creating a class that inherits from MembershipProvider (found in System.Web.Security). I actually went ahead and created a custom provider which inherits from MembershipProvider. The problem is that there are several methods I do not really need. Also, the schema is totally different. Plus, most methods return a MembershipUser which means my User class has to inherit from it as well. So really, what benefits does the MembershipProvider and the whole Membership framework add to my system? Do these benefits justify the fact that I won't be using most of the methods on the class?
I am creating a interface for User Role Management based on built in membership provider.I want to display all the roles as check boxes for a selected user. I am able to display all the roles in the database, but not able to load the specific user roles. For example, I am able to publish role 1 role 2 role3 role 4 as check boxes. But if the user is already flagged as role 1 and role 3, I am not able to show that data (role1 and 3 should be checked when form loads, but right now, they are not checked)...How do I get the roles as checked boxes display on a page.I am using a repeater control to display roles as check boxes on the page..
is there a way to snag the database id of a newly created user after CreateUser has been called? I need to be able to tie that id to another database table. From what my book shows me, it looks like member info is encrypted, so merely looking at the membership database table.
Sometimes MS provides error message so silly that its hard to understnad and you feel like throwing away all things.
My Web.Config does not contain any entries of MemberShip, Role or Profile.
I want to create a membership provider dynamically through code at runtime. I wrote following code and it receives following error message. I don;t know how come machine.config error appears in my application. how annoying.
Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.
so after a short talk with some people around ASP.NET MVC forum I took a huge step and chose to create my own Custom Membership Data provider.. so I logged into sweet google and started searching , it doesnt look that hard and seems totally possible for me , that's what i thought...
So now I opened visual studio , and started to think on few things .. So before I would start typing code , I would like to ask those questionsSo i would know better
1. when I build an SQL object , or XML or w.e object, how do I know which fields I need for my table ? should i just copy them from aspnetdb or is there somewhere it is written?
2. how the heck do I copy lines from webconfig ? and should I get those lines like "reset password" from web config or not?
3. I saw some parameters in "create User" called providerKey or something like that, and also MembershipState ? what exacly are those ?
4. last question: the functions get username , and password and stuff like that , but what If i want to create my own User Entity , is there a way to change what the function gets ? or should i just make another class that get my custom UserEntity and let the first class to send her the userentity as repository ?
It's new to me to use the membership provider class.I was able to inherits the MembershipProvider in my library(HDIMembershipProvider.vb) and a lot of functions are generated. When I created the form to create a user like this:
[Code]....
Once the user clicks submit, how this function can be called ?
1. user can login by their AD account and password.
2. AD account can be assigned to different group.
I know there is a training video - [URL] to teach how to use the tool to provision the membership schema to SQL server for Forms authentication. but how can I use AD authentication with this?
i have implemented custom role provider and membership provider .
login page : SignIn.aspx
on successful login it redirects to (index-Homepage.aspx)
now PROBLEM is when it successfully logged in ,and redirects to 'index-Homepage.aspx' it gives Anornymoustemplate ..while its verifying the role correctly in index-Homepage.aspx.cs
1 - whats the difference between Role Provider and Membership provider ??
2- If we implement Custom Role Provider or Custom Membership provider then what does this means ? and which Provider do we use when we apply custom role provider or custom membership provider
i'm building an application and i need to manage roles, users and more things so i tought to use the membership provider but i have some questions about it: can i full extend it and can i override the functions to use a database table to store infos about config or i need to build my own provider?
I want to know how I can implement membership provider class to have ability to remember users who signed in. I have Membership provider class and I need functionality of "Remember Me" checkbox but I don't know how I can implement some methods
i want to use asp.net membership provider for my own database i have own table here is what have i done i extended the membership provider class with my own write all overided methords. is it right way to use membership provider class for custom use?? i also extend the rolemanagement class too.
I am beginner in web applications development. I started one little project and host it on source forge "https://homoco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/homoco". And I started implementing authentication in this application to learn how it works. From my experience people never use out of the box things so I want to implement this stuff alone (like in real world projects). So some questions:
1) Is there any reason to use membership out of the box? To use database table schema, stored procedures etc. that tool generate for developer. I think that this lower control over code and I decided to implement it my self. I don't know if I am right.
2) Is my approach in this demo project good or bad (if someone have time I like to do just a little code review)? I created database based on business rules. Not using database schema that membership provider require. Extend "MembershipProvider" class to satisfy my needs. Implement queries to database myself.
3) Now, this question is a little wired but I have to ask it. If we make custom Membership Provider and do sql queries alone, implement all MembershipProvider class methods ourselves, and in application use Membership.blabla() why is this approach different from not extending MembershipProvider class and putting all this methods in some unique class and call its methods then? I hope that someone understand what I ask here.
I am sorry for three questions, but I really trying to find the best way to implement this feature in my demo project like it is a real world application.
This value, MembershipService.MinPasswordLength, is zero (0). Obviously, this is coming from my class. I can't have a set because the abstract class has this as a read-only property.Why doesn't the MembershipProvider read this value from the Web.Config? What am I missing?
I'm just wondering if the built in Hashing in the ASP.Net membership good password security, or if there is more that I should do to protect my passwords? If so, what should I look into for a higher level of security?
I am using SQL Membership Provider to create user accounts for my web site and for some reason, the CreateDate and LastLoginDate fields are NOT saving the current time of my machine when I add a new user to the website. It is showing the previous day's date and the time is displayed as PM when it's AM and vise-versa in the CreateDate and LastLoginDate fields in aspnet_Membership table. I am developing and running the website via localhost on my laptop using IIS 7 (Windows 7). Does this have anything to do with my laptop's clock settings or is there something I need to configure in the web.config file or in IIS.
I have more problem in costomize membership provider, i did download the code in c# from videos tutorial, that code have Membership provider class. but i am unable to use that class. how i will use it.
am having an argument at work on the asp.net membership provider.One of my colleagues says we should modify the tables and add our own custom columns, and i prefer we create additional tables and add relationships.
Im learning how to use the SqlMembershipProvider. I want to use my google mail account to send the automatic mail message like for example to recover passwords.

i'm new to the mvc framework but i used forms authentification in an asp.net webapplication. Because im forced to use Sybase SQL Anywhere server i use membership / profile / role provider from sybase.Why i can't login in the MVC Application?

Could it be a problem with the application name? Both have the applicationname " / " ?Both applications has these web.config entries:
I have started to implement asp membership. I go the administration page and click provider. I have a database on a server on the local network that i want to install my members tables in. When i run the
aspnet_regsq.exe it doesn't ask me what SQL database i want to use and seems to default to my local SQL Server 2005 installation. How I change this to use my SQL Express database on a local server?
