can I change the password algorithm and still use the sqlMembershipProvider or do I have to create a new sqlMembershipProvider. If so, are they any step by step tutorials on how to do that.
View 1 RepliesI am rewriting my PHP website into C# .NET, and I need to be able to set the algorithm used by the CreateUserWizard / Membership Provider to SHA1 so that I can port all of the user accounts over without having to force them all to reset their passwords when this project is complete. At current glance it doesn't look like it is using SHA-1, and my Googlefoo is failing me.
View 1 RepliesOur user is using integrated windows authentication.
All users hit the login page where they must login with their domain/username/password combination.
Once they login, they can change their password.
Once the password is changed, they are displayed a message and they can navigate through the rest of the site.
I get the following scenarios...
1) User can view one page but not a second page User changes password USer clicks on link and receives page USer clicks on second link and is asked for credentials
2) User can view all pages USer changes password User clicks on link and receives page User clicks on second link (and all links thereafter) and receives page (they are never prompted for credentials)
3) User can not view any pages
User changes password USer clicks on link and is asked for credentials
i want to encrypt the password by using the encryption algorithm dll uploaded by the user. is it possible to do the action. how can i call the method used by the user to create the dll.
View 1 RepliesPasswordDeriveBytes take 4 paramteres and return an encrypted key basead on 4 parameters: passPhrase, saltValue, hashAlgoithm and password iteration
I wonder what algorithm PasswordDeviveBytes are using, so I can tell someone who are not .NET programmer that this secretkey was made by that alogorithm and that he can use this algorithm also - And then he should get the same results as PasswordDeriveBytes method
I can recover my password but when I try to change my password to something a bit easier to remember it gives me:
Password incorrect or New Password invalid. New Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.
I need an example on how to implement AES encryption/decryption in .NET. I've been googling but haven't yet found any good examples. I've for example found AES example whih after some research wasn't 100% AES. I have to make sure by AES encryption/decryption is 100% AES, as I have to send email to the authorities explaining how I use AES (with secret key all), so they can hire some encryption expert which verify that we encrypt/decrypt it correctly. So he can verify that the what I implemented in AES is actually 100%. I'm reading the AES standard and how it's to be implemted in .NET Here is some code I'm having trouble with:
[Code]....
Which throws an CryptographicException: Specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm.
I have a page that will receive an encrypted query string containing a user name, password & jobId, the problem is I don't want someone to be able to grab the encrypted url (browser history) and reuse it, so it has to change each time the page is requested.
The only way I can think of doing this is by having an encryption key associated with the the job and then change it after each time the page is requested. The client would either request the key or the entire url from a web service residing on my server.
Is this the best way to do this?
Is there a mutating encryption method out there I could use "out the box"?
I am planning to write a custom 'password reset control' that allows an Administrator to reset the user's password, while using the ASP.NET built-in 'login' and 'create new user' controls. For this reason, I will need the hashing algorithm (hopefully I can call some .NET class and method) to perform this.
View 1 RepliesI am using Forms Authentication in a new ASP.NET 3.5 Application.I have created the Tables in my database and run the Web Site Administration Too.When I try to create a user I get a password error no matter what I throw at it and I am becoming sure of that this is a symptom of an a setup error and not a password problem.One of the things that I notice is that my aspnet_Applications is empty and I am not sure what is supposed to fill it.I have tried to delete all the aspnet tables and done the procedure again but with the same result.
View 1 RepliesI using change password control, how can i change the password without enter the current password?
View 8 RepliesI had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .
I just begin creating a website for an organization. First page to be displayed in the login page. I dont have any knowledge in ASP.NET Security. On Login page, i want to display UserName field as disabled with the useralias of the user who currently logged into Windows. Password user has to provide and it should be that user's windows password.
How do i validate that password that user has entered is his windows password?
I am developing a shopping cart with asp.net and sqlexpress. I am using aspnet authentication components to create a backend page. I designed the site to let in only authorized users in.
Yesterday, I forget my password to login to backend and asked system recover my password. with recover password of the asp.net I was able to receive the temp password. I took that and logged in, of course asp.net forward me to password change component which I am having problem with.
Every time I change my password , password change shows that I was successfull but after clicking on the continiue button password change component comes back. I went to properties of password change component and entered the main default page as destination but it is not helping.
I close the IE clear the cache , even restart the machine. When I login always taking me to the password change page.
Is there a way to assign a value to the password and confirm password fields of the CreateUserWizard control programmatically when the page loads? The CreateUserWizard.Password property is read-only.

View 2 RepliesWhat is the Best practice of dynamic changing password for this scenario?
The scenario is:
There are three web apps using ASP.NET.
App1 checks the passwords of app2/app3 to authenticate the identity, and if app2/app3 is authenticated then app1 is allowed to receive information from App2 and App3.
And app1 has to change the passwords of app2/app3 every two hour for security reason.
Is it possible that there is a way to implement this scenario without app1 saving the passwords of app2/app3 for security reason?
Or is there any best practice for dynamic changing password scenario?
MSChart created a temp compact database ( ASPNET.MDF ).
This was on my personal laptop. I'm moving the project to another PC for a demo at work. But, my sa password is different now.
How do you login to this database? or can I run a utility to push the tables to sql server instead?
I keep getting the sa password fails message, because the laptop and work have different passwords.
I would like to encrypt the password and store it in DB. And if user forgots the password and request for password i have to send him a dummy password to his mail id how can i implement this if any code available At the time of registration i have to encrypt or salt the password and save it to DB..

Not sure if I'm posting the question in the right category.
1) I'm working in a project where encryption of data is high priority. Could some one suggest what would be the best encryption method to protect data from being cracked.
I'm using TCP/IP protocol.
2) Is HTTPS totally secured. If I'm using HTTPS, does that mean that there is no encryption of data required in the coding?
When I create a new login for my SQL Server 2008 I also specify a password for this login. But when I, after the creation is done, check the login's properties the password is much longer than the one I specified. If I here change the password once again, SQL Server 2008 will automatically change the password for the login - again. ANd I don't know what the password that SQL Server keep putting for my logins, since the password consists of small black dots.

User1 logs in with "User1" as UserName with his password. After it, he fills some form and clicks on SAVE button. After it record saves successfully, but in LoginName control shows some another user name who already logs in, on another machine. [I have number of users]
I checked the web.config file.. The access permissions are defined properly... then what is the reason of it? Everytime User name is changing randonly. So that I am unable to genrate reports.
