Security :: Change The Membership Provide ApplicationName From Web.config?
Feb 9, 2010
I have a custom security module which is retrieving the applicationName of the defalut Membership Provider. I am using this value for convenience only. I mean, sometimes, I will authenticate the user as per "Windows Authentication" where there is no Login Form, and yet, I need to access the "applicationName" of the membership provider.So, in some of my applications, I am not using a memberhsip, and I leave it empty. And I found out that if the <membership> is not defined in web.config, it will default to "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type "System.web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider".I can add an key in <appSettings>, but I like to using the applicationName of the default membership provider, becuase in other applications I am using Forms Authentication, with a custom membership provider.If try to setup a dummy memberyship provider, I will get error that the connection string is empty.How I can set the "applicationName" property in web.config if I am using "Windows" authentication, and I have no membership provider ?

I've made a change to my web config membership properties and now I seem to be having issues changing my password. I originally had
minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
I've change it to passwordStrengthRegularExpression="^(?=.{8,15}$)(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[A-Z]).*" however it still keeps coming up telling me that I need at least 7 characters and one nonAlphaNumberic... I looked at my machine config and made some adjustments there so that
minRequiredPasswordLength="" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="" were blank

I have an administration website - the users of which should be able to modify users for a public site. This means the administration site has a valid membership provider, but I want to be able to access/change members in another site (and therefore ApplicationName).
First thought was to set ApplicationName on the Membership static - but that seems like a bad idea according to answers here: Changing Membership.ApplicationName in code - thread safety.
Second thought was to duplicate the MembershipProvider entry to the web.config - so now I can do WebSiteMembershipProvider = Membership.Providers("WebsiteSqlMembershipProvider") - but I can't now seem to get to a 'Membership' object which will let me (for example) call the standard 'CreateUser' method.
I tried WebSiteMembershipProvider.CreateUser - but it takes a load more parameters, and doesn't seem to do anything if I poke some values into it.
Am I nearly there? Or do I need a different approach? There's always the SqlProvider's stored procedures, I suppose...

On the MSDN page for the Membership.ApplicationName property (which applies to an asp.net membership provider), it warns that although one can change Membership.ApplicationName in code, 'The ApplicationName property is not thread safe for multiple writes, and changing the ApplicationName property value can result in unexpected behavior for multiple users of an application.' They therefore recommend avoiding using it for a 'web application'.
This is because the default SqlMembershipProvider is written as a singleton. But here's my question: is it OK if all the threads in my application process are going to set Membership.ApplicationName to the same thing?
I'm thinking of having multiple applications on my IIS box, each with their own separate application pool. I want to point them to the same location, but based on the hostname, set the application provider to different things. Wouldn't this actually be OK? It might not be a thread-safe operation, but doesn't each application pool have its own process and therefore its own instance of SqlMembershipProvider? So, every thread that tried to set Membership.ApplicationName for a given SqlMembershipProvider instance would be trying to set it to the same thing (the provider that is appropriate for that hostname).

I have the following defaultmembership provider in my web.config
<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
I am trying to update the enablePasswordReset from false to true programmatically but am struggling.. This is as far as I got!
ConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
var section = (MembershipSection)config.GetSection("system.web/membership");
var defaultProvider = section.DefaultProvider;
var providerSettings = section.Providers[defaultProvider];
// Now what?

I'm currently writing a website in VWD2010 Express, which requires me to write a custom membership provider.
I've followed the tutorial here [URL] , which seems relatively straight forward.
I am, however, struggling at the stage where the custom membership provider is included in a site. Now obviously the tutorial writer is using a different version of VS to me, so I've had to adapt it somewhat. Instead of building the class as a dll, and referencing that in a new site, I've started a new site from scratch and added the custom membership provider to the Add_Code file (HDIMembershipProvider.vb). It is now required that I add details of the provider to the web.config file, which seems to be where I am encountering problems.
The tutorial requires me to add:
[Code]....
within the System.Web part of the web.config file. However, upon running the site I get the error:
Could not load type 'HDI.AspNet.Membership.HDIMembershipProvider'.
I realise that how you reference the class must have changed since the tutorial was written, but I can't for the life of me find the format I should be using, and trial&error has turned up nothing so far.

I created a custom membership provider in my ASP.NET 4.0 web site, stored in App_Code, and referenced in my web.config.
However, it doesn't appear to be pulling values out of web.config during initialization.
The code was taken from [URL] , and the only modifications were changing "connectionStringName" here to the name of my connection string:
[Code]....
The connection string always comes back as nothing in this line:
[Code]....
No matter what I change the password format to in web.config, the default value here is always used:
[Code]....
So to me it's pretty clear it's not pulling out values for some reason. Here is the reference to the membership provider in web.config.
[Code]....

I have a small windows forms application that uses the membership provider that is defined in my app.config file. I want to get rid of my app.config file and initialize the membership provider completely from code. The reason behind this is because I want to be able to dynamically connect to different databases containing asp.net user tables and I want the user to be able to enter the desired database information into a text box at run time. Is this possible or is it required that I have an app.config file?

I have this code for changing a user's password when they click the password reset button (with extra code to log to ELMAH so I can try to figure out what is going wrong).
This is in ASP.NET MVC 2, using the standard aspnet membership provider, with a simple View like this:
New Password: ______
Confirm Password: ______
[Reset] [Cancel]
The route to this view is `/Account/Reset/guid`, where guid is the user's id in the aspnet membership database.
The key portion of the code is where it calls `user.ChangePassword()`. You can see that it logs a message when successful. The problem is that for some users, the success message is logged, but they can not log in with the new password. For other users it logs the success message and they can log in.
if (user.ChangePassword(pwd, confirmPassword))
{
ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(
new Exception("ResetPassword - changed successfully!"));
return Json(new {
Msg = "You have reset your password successfully." },
JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
The full code listing is:
[Code]....
Edit: Adding a bounty to try to get this solved. This is one of the most annoying problems on my issue list, and I have no idea how to proceed.

I'm currently trying to figure out enabling my users, once logged in, to change their email address that they have registered. As far as I can see it's only held in the aspnet_Membership table.
The code I have so far is as follows, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. No errors either so I can't go down that route yet!

I can't work out what's going wrong

change details of a user ( asp.net membership change email of a selected user ).
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Protected SubButton4_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.ClickTry Email = EmailTextBox.Text Membership.UpdateUser() updateuserlabel.Text = "User e-mail updated." Catch u As System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException
updateuserlabel.Text = MessageEnd
End Sub
This works but what is does is to load the email of the user that is login to the textbox and then if i press the button it changes to the text assign to the textbox.What i want is to choose from all the system users and then change the email of each.
