Security :: Can't Get Past The "Test" Link On The "Provider" Tab In WebSite Admin Tool (WSAT)
Jan 22, 2011
I can't get past the "Test" link on the "Provider" tab in my Web Site Admin Tool (WSAT).
I'm running SQL Express (10.0.2531.0) and have created my "ASPNETDB" database using the version of aspnet_regsql that came with .Net 2.0. (When that work, I re-ran the version that came with 4.0.)
I have the following in my web.config:
[Code]....
And this:
[Code]....
When I go into the WSAT, to the Provider tab, I select "AspNetSqlProvider" and click test.
The error message I get is this:
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
Is anyone able to see Web Site --> ASP.NET Configuration if you are creating a web application using File --> New Project --> Visual C# --> Web. If so, how and where?
Base on what I've tried, the menu Web Site --> ASP.Net Configuration appears only if you create a website by File --> New Website.
What I am actually trying to find is the Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT).
I have created custome Membership Role and Profile provider using INGRES db. Now I can see my IngresMembership and IngresRole provider in the Provider tab(Select a different provider for each feature (advanced) ) of WSAT but when I clik on security tab I get this error:
"There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
What am I missing? Do I need to add code for all override methods for Role provider? I have just written code for the Initialize and GetRolesForUser functions.
How do you create your web site data admin for your customers. Do you do them programatically or do you use any specific tool?
I have been using AspMaker and is not a bad option but I'm sure there are a few more options out there. I've seen that MS has a Web Data Administrator but for me it looks more than an sql server web admin tool rather than a frontend that has the business logic.
I have a question with this tool. I have a database listed in the App_folder, and the database has a connection in Server explorer. The connection string is listed in the web.config file, and I am able to add users and roles with the Web Admin Tool. However,when in the Web Admin Tool, under Configuration tab, I receive an error when I click on the "test" button. The error reads " Could not establish a connection to the database.If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider."
I'm looking for a way to create a login control without the use of web admin tool
Here are my system requirements
Windows 7 Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ESET Anti-virus but SQL and Studio files excluded from being scanned. I have got a database. I've created the front end of the user login control manually not using the toolbox. Basically what I need is that once a user has registered. He then logs in. when he enters his username and password how do I code it so the database realises it's him/her and takes them to their LOGGED IN user
I'm dealing with a scenario where a legitimate user doesn't have a clue about his password, secret question or the answer. So, I was trying to create an admin tool that would help me in situations like these where the admin should be able to type in username and reset the password without having to know/enter answer to secret question. I understand that I need to make some changes to the web.config for this to work. I thought I made all the changes but my ResetPassword() requests are still not working.
I watched old videos that suggest to test the asp.net website load using Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool. But there is a broken link to get the download. tool to test website performance?
I am currently designing an ASP.Net web site where does not required any user login on the page. However, I do need to put an Admin page up along with this web page for my client use to manage the content on the page (e.g.: Change Pictures, Updating News). For security reason, I do not want to include a separate page sit reside in the site, so nobody can even try access to the page [URL]
I have a secure admin section in my website, only logged in users can gain access to this section, its controlled from the web.config file like this
[Code]....
This has all works perfectly well until now. Ive created a page that has an accordian control on it from the ajax control toolkit, as soon as I place this control on a page and run the web page, I get this error
I have a simple online store where there are products that can be put into a cart and purchased. There is a admin page that can be logged into so that new products can be added or existing products can be removed or edited. To get to the admin area I need to put a /admin/index after the main page loads up. If I want to give my friends (from any location) the ability to add new products should I create a link to the admin area on the main page (like at the bottom) of the main page or should I just tell them to type in /admin/index after they go to the webpage?
I wish to do a simple and secure login form, for which I have seen tutorials keeping login information and roles set through the ASP.Net WebSite Administration Tool.
Is there any secure way to do a login page without using WSAT at all. provide me good tutorial links for creating a custom login form, having the capability of redirecting to login page if user is not authorized etc.
I don't wish to use the WebSite Administration Tool.
I have my database connected into project. Its located on different server. When I am managing users via WSAT everything is ok, it saves users into database on the server and additionally in my local App_Data folder. But when it comes to creating roles it only works with local database, but not applying into database located on the serwer.
Isn't it strange anyway, that it saves data into local database when there is not connectionString for this? I can delete database from App_Data and after doing some action with users/roles it creates new one.
since installing VS2010 I have problems with configuring membership. Using a online sql database what I prepared with the aspnet_regsql tool tables are there connection string is ok! when I open the ASP net config tool, I do not manage to select the membership provider. Underneath my web config file. can sombody tell me what is wrong??
I am building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I am have problem getting the security selection to view properly. Instead of getting roles and so on I get this following error message:There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
I am trying to send an email using the gmail smtp server. I am trying to enter the SMTP settings into the Web Site Admin tool. I have set
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com server port: 587 from: myemail@gmail.com
Sender's User Name: my real gmail username Sender's Password: my real gmail password
I am getting the following error when I try to send an email as a result on using the CreateUserWizard after successfully creating a new user.
Code:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. i29sm30127820vcr.12
I am having some major headaches trying to get a Web Dev 2010 and SQL Server Express 2008 R2 to work together. At one point I hade Web Dev Express 2008 and SQL Express 2008 working together just fine, then I upgraded to 2008 Express R2 and have never been able to recover.
I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall several times, browsed the forums, watched videos, and while I have picked up a few things, I am still far from being able to get these two apps to work together for basic user authentication.
Here is where I am at. Web Dev Express 2010, .Net 4.0, and SQL Server Express 2008R2 installed. I have ran the .v4 aspnet_regsql.exe app against SQLEXPRESS, but when I bring up the Web Site Admin Tool, it cannot connect.
My machine.config connectin info is: [Code]....
Thinking that I may have some uninstalled connection info causing problems, I reviewed several of the security videos on this site, and decided to attempt to use my own database install rather then the default ASPNETDB.
So I now have 2 Database Engines (SQLEXPRESS and LOC). I created a new databases on LOC, named LOC and AspNetServicesDB. I then created users named LOCADMIN and AspNetServicesUser, made then the owners, and set the default database for eacg.Next I ran aspnet_regsql.exe from the v4.0.30319 folder, connected successfully, and installed the tables under AspNetServicesDB. The new tables (roles, membership, profiles) were installed. I then proceeded to copy the above machine.config connection info to the web.config file, and modified it as Joe Stagner did in this video. My edited web.config info:
[Code]....
Note that password is set to the real password in my config file.
Yet when I bring up the Web Site Administration Tool test the single provider, I get this error:
I set up a really simple custom membership provider for my website, it is on shared hosting with 123reg which operate in medium trust mode. Due to this the membership provider throws an error. how it would work on medium trust on shared hosting? The hosting doesnt allow me to set the applications trust mode either.
We have an application that may or may not have problems during heavy load. To try to get more correct usage patterns regarding load, we'd like to just fire up a bunch of users logging in, and then repeatedly just navigating through a list of links (our menu basically.)Is there any open source or free tools we can use? We're not adverse to pay for anything if we need to but right now we are trying a bunch of different things and we'd like to hold off on this until we know a bit more.Of course, some simply Python scripts would do the trick, but if there's anything we could input our links to that saves us a bit of time in this it would be most welcome.
I have googled the similar problem that many people are facing but I still can't solve mine.I'm trying to visit the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool at http://localhost:49274/asp.netwebadminfilesThe page shows me the error "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."Some says it has to do with web.config file, I'm new to ASP.NET, here is my web.config file
we are working in a small team. We often had problems like developer1 did some changes in stored procedure or funtion and it affected work of developer2. Such issues are traced out by chance later. Please guide me how such issues can be stopped. Is there a free tool that we can run to test such issues.
I have a product´s page that when the user click on a "BUY" button , it sends an email to me with the produtct´s details and a link to the supplier´s detail. The problem is that, the page is on the "ADMIN" page, and when i click on the link, it shows and IIS 7 error.
I want to put my website project and admin website under same project as I want to use session and authentication of the main site. Also I want to show the admin, the page, where he has made changes. But the problem is whenever I will change anything in admin pages, I've to build the entire website. I don't want to do that. Can I build that separately?
I don't want to choose the option of building all pages separately as well.
Is there any alternatives of doing that. Separate projects for admin and website will come up with many other challenges. So I would like to avoid that.
